The webinar, which had addressed how the industry was dealing with negative publicity during the coronavirus pandemic, has now been removed from the AFTA website.

tracygrimshaw Jayson Westbury should put a bandaid on his mouth and kiss her ass .I agree with Mis tracy 100%

tracygrimshaw You can’t do either or even suggest it besides it would cause cracks to appear in her personality

tracygrimshaw Five of the best

tracygrimshaw Shocking comments and he rightfully resigned but when are people going to address these shows and their clear bullying It's atrocious

tracygrimshaw It is my observation that shows like this will report anything and everything for ratings, regardless if is a good idea or not🤔

tracygrimshaw 🐷

WhosFibbing tracygrimshaw tracygrimshaw should of given it up years ago ! ACA is a low budget TMZ

tracygrimshaw Been a fan of tracygrimshaw for far too many years (showing my age). A true journalist. I hope the support you have received online goes in part to soften the hurt. Would he have apologised if not caught on tape?

tracygrimshaw By, ‘travel boss’, you mean the Chief Executive of Australian Federation of Travel Agents AFTA JaysonWestbury

tracygrimshaw Is a virtual uppercut equivalent to an anonymous nasty comment from a troll? As women, don’t we often receive ‘virtual uppercuts’ for being opinionated?

tracygrimshaw Zero tolerance. If Australia is serious about addressing gendered violence then they’d sack him. Doubt they will though.

tracygrimshaw Onya Tracy.

tracygrimshaw Perhaps a digital uppercut and not a physical one?

tracygrimshaw Actually he did say virtually not physically and has apologised for his statement.

tracygrimshaw charming behaviour

tracygrimshaw It is never ok to threaten a woman with physical violence. The end.

tracygrimshaw ACA lost me when their agenda was hating on young people and defending older.

tracygrimshaw Unacceptable

tracygrimshaw It’s ok, Tracy Grimshaw is not a left wing darling so such comments are acceptable.

tracygrimshaw Is she telling us her e parties about travel? Until there is a vaccine of course

tracygrimshaw I do not agree with his comments but the way some stories are reported leaves a lot to be desired Journalists now report as though they are holier than thou and the voice of all authority

tracygrimshaw They are the scum of the earth. Typical main stream media trying to make a story out of nothing. She is a paracite

Sherelle Moody has no credibility!

tracygrimshaw And he needs to be sacked for making that comment.

tracygrimshaw I seem to have missed the part where travel boss strenuously denies the allegations. Personal attacks ('outrageous language') and talking about industry trends ('death of a thousand cuts') to avoid the actual content is like an admission of guilt. Worse than saying nothing.

tracygrimshaw As stupid as his commentary was, would we still be having the same discussion if he made the comment about another male? Barilaro called another male a “c%}t” and it was all said and done in 48 hours

tracygrimshaw If someone gave me $5000 to paint there house and I turn around and say I’m unable (too busy) now for the next two years, but I will keep your money as a credit note until I’m ready to do it. The cops would be belting down my door.

tracygrimshaw A Current Affair is like 60 minutes on the same network. They get their ratings from outrage. Channel 2 gets theirs from the left greenie trendy set while channel 7 gets theirs from popularism. Free to Air TV is free for a very good reason. It’s mostly garbage.

tracygrimshaw So Alan Jones already has a new job in the travel industry?

tracygrimshaw She needs some AlanJones inspiration...

tracygrimshaw Wow this is dreadful to say to anyone. Why would anyone say that.

tracygrimshaw didnt see it. We have not received our money back for the cruise we did not get to have in April. $5000 for the two of us would be nice back in our bank.

She needs a better diet and a quiet retirement too

Nothing like getting back to nature, going to the beach & being bombarded with commercialisation. Yeah thanks for the heads up , for another place off the list Of course he would be.
