Claims trespassing is the same as live baiting of greyhounds. Trespassing does not entail a custodial sentence. No wonder he is a National. Obviously a brain isn't a requirement to be a National.

I suppose it depends on where they were when they took the footage?

Cameras have lenses capable of filming from a huge distance.

How else would someone be able to show the live baiting was happening?

Call the police and say they are doing it?

I can see the reaction.................... how do you know? do you have any proof? sorry I can't help you.

These training tracks are well hidden.  I have been to the Tooradin track and it is set well into the large property, far from the road, with market gardens around.  But it is not just the distance, and most of the training tracks have corrugated iron barrier around the actual track and trees.  Anyway, from the angles the footage was shot, the cameras must have been hidden in the grass on the ground.  There is no way that footage could have been taken without being on somebody's property without permission.  Although I was once told that that to be able to charge somebody with trespassing you have to 1st ask them to leave, and only if they refuse it becomes an offence.

Could they have used drones with cameras attached?

To Bananaby Joyce it's all a game.  

He doesn't seem to reconcile the political game he plays with the impact on the everyday lives of the people who vote.

Instead of finding out why Tony Windsor stuck with the previous govt instead of creating a new one with abbott as PM he just went on the attack and vowed to move into Windsor's seat to oust him.  

He is red faced drunken disgrace who doesn't really give a toss about his constituents.

Given the universal outrage over what was revealed in that footage I think Barnaby Joyce must have a political death wish.

No, the angle the footage was taken it was obvious the camera was at ground level pointing up.   Didn't you see the program?

There were some shots of the compounds from air, but the most graphic footage was from ground.

I was thinking they could have landed the drones on the ground for filming then flew them back out later.

I think the cameras had to be very carefully hidden or somebody would have noticed them.  I do not think they could have possibly missed a drone sitting there.  There was some fuzzy footage which looked like it was taken from few metres above, but if there was a drone buzzing around I do not think they would be going on with what they were doing.  They could not be that stupid.

Barnaby Joyce is a loose cannon. Here is making a big fuss about trespassing and not facing the real issue.

That's what he does best.

He's the minister for agriculture and lords it up with the coal mine owners without giving a thought to the farming community.
