I'm no Kevin Foley fan but this is wrong. When public officials can't go out in public because they fear for their safety then society is really going down the toilet. He doesn't deserve this treatment, nobody does. I hope these pathetic thugs are caught and embarrassed publicly.

Again you got to be joking

No-one should get assaulted, period. These lowlife thugs do this with impunity because the police fear reprisals and finding the onus of proof too difficult to prove. By the same token, who is foolish enough to 'hit the city' these days (nights) anyway?

I saw Kevin Foley abusing a couple of journalists today , someone as arrogant and as abusive as Kevin Foley is always going to attract trouble.

Much as I dislike the man I don't condone this sort of violence towards anyone, having said that, I hope he appreciates the anguish he has caused to and the tears that have been shed by members of the public that he serves as a result of his actions over the years; maybe this assault comes as a result of some of those actions.

How coincidental, with the Labour party on the nose and a premier who has gone underground Big Kev plays the "poor me" card. For too long you have bullied and belittled people, bad luck Kevin.
Too many people in Adelaide know your form mate and its nothing to be proud of.
Suffer the consequences and get the hell out of state politics so someone can LEAD our state with the dignity it deserves. (Oh and take youre mate RANDY with you)

Its clear im going to up set the Labor Chardonnay socialsts media unit out there .
But what do you idiots expect ?

What on earth is the now South Australia's Police Minister doing out in that area AGAIN at that hour of the morning??????
Is this the example that is now set for all our Police officers to have as well????
What a role model you are for South Australia!
This news has gone nation wide. How embarrasing for us South Aussies Kevin.

I fail to understand what Kevin Foley's social life has to do with anyone else! He was having a drink with friends for goodness sake! This has nil to do with his work position. That said, i can't stand the man, but do not condone violence in any form, nor Foley's aggression toward others.

I appreciate your sentiments, but any person shld be able to go out and have a drink without being threatened or bashed.

I look at some of the posts here and it occurs to me. 5AA will hit ctrl alt del and press end of program. Dont ask yourselves why just look at some of the crap thats posted .

What is the bet that the alleged perps are arrested the day AFTER fooley leaves the country again?
DeJa Vu ??? Of course that won't surprise Watson, he probably wrote the script !

@Tash when I worked as a crowd controller some of my colleagues could creat a fight where no fight existed, just by their manner in dealing with the customers. Foley seems to have the same problem, his belligerent manner just creats aggression. I think he is the master of his own demise, not to mention that I think he is an attention junkie. Yes it should have been reported in the press but doing press conferences achieved, what? ? ? ? Hardly a mark on him & he wants us to feel sorry for him. Police officers, nurses correctional service officers & security guards suffer worse injuries almost every day, but do we hear them snivelling to the media? ? I think not.

You appear to be confused dear Watson.
Pressing ctrl/alt/del will not present you with an "end of program" option. It will however give you an option to open Task Manager from where you can chose to "End Task" but I don't see the corolation between doing that and this forum. May I also suggest that your contribution to the "crap that's posted" has been bountiful.

i agree totally Rob.
Yesterday it was reported that a couple who had recently come from Iran to Adelaide had their house broken into and the owner was beaten with a baseball bat. I'll bet we hear no more about it.

Foley has someone remind him that he's a mere human when out of the play-pen on North Terrace and he oughtn't go shouting his mouth off at will and we'll hear about it for months!

Its sad to hear about anyone being abused in any form of manner, but why do the "high profile" people get preferential treatment over the ordinary folk?

Just because they hold a position of authority dont make them any more special than anyone else...we're all human beings struggling to eke out an existence on this planet.
If we all worked together there would be no need for all that....but hey, i can dream cant i ?

Watson, you will just have to accept that not many people agree with your opinions, no need to cry about it.

I appreciate your sentiments, but any person shld be able to go out and have a drink without being threatened or bashed.

Watson, disagreeing with your opinion does not constitute a personal attack (something that should be taken on board by other posters too).

that's what debating is about. Not to be taken personally.

If you go out & have a QUIET drink the likelyhood of being threatened or bashed is almost ZERO, Foley at best could be called belligerent, if his manner was nicer I'm sure he'd be left alone. Maybe it's time to stop trawling through bars looking for young women to hit on.

From AdelaideNow:
+++A MAN who allegedly attacked Police Minister Kevin Foley in the toilet of a city lounge bar has been charged by police.
The man, 36, is accused of assaulting Mr Foley at the Royale Lounge Bar, Gouger St, earlier this month.
Following investigations, police identified the man who negotiated through his lawyer to surrender himself to police+++

Well was I right - WAS I RIGHT WATSON - your scripts are so predictable, it makes me laugh.
Once again the labour party show themselves for what they are - VERY SHALLOW !!!!!

He was out that night with a woman somewhat older than most of his "lady friends" she looks at least 24, could his forever hitting on younger women that's making him a target or is it that he's just a PR#*K

Going to be intresting getting the other guys side of events,That is ,if our Media dont sugar coat ,to help there mates in labor out

What a load of crap you guys write, cob and rob i cannot believe you beleive what you scribe. I doubt neither of you have met the man and to be stating facts as if you have just spoken to him on the matter beggars belief. Stick to topics you understand and for the 1000th time EF it is LABOR not LABOUR.

Party of lies falling Over Grant !It's comon facts you lot have manipulated this states media for years
Allowing our state to remain the basket case state
Of Australia.Had a fellow call in to work yesterday
His daughter works with some local media ,Even
He was disgusted about how much dirt/scandal
Within State Labor,But his daughter is told not
To run any story's or talk about it .Brown /Rann n co
Would be proud

Wonder if the thug who had a go at folly was
Tied up with the PSA? Will be awful news if he is
so called progressives are never violent

Sorry Cob but your last 2 emails have lost me, they are so anti labor with no basis just hearsay.

I am not a labor voter (as I seem to have to remind you daily) but i just think such negative comments every thread do not stimulate discussion only repulsion and sorrow.

What is it with socialists ? Every comment you make Grant is either defending there mistakes/waste/rorts
But then come out. & claim not to vote labor.Are you that
Lost with the workers party you feel you can't openly say you'r a labor voter? .Either way I find it incredibly amusing .Interesting you find my anti Labor comments repulsive ,Yet Labors 9 Years of spin waste fine.I'm sure the river town coke ,& timber industry (to name just 2) Share your sentiments

Foley is very easy to understand, he is a text-book definition of a sociopath. Bring on the dissenters! !

I'm disappointed ROB as I thought you'd explain it to me! I'd rather get a medical def from a specialist!
