I have no doubt this guy is for real. I watched an interview with him this morning. Fair dinkum this guy belongs on one of those bright yellow buses with "SPECIAL SCHOOL" written down the side of it. He should be in the second seat from the front with his tongue firmly pressed against the glass trying to lick his way out. Unless he is a direct descendant of an epic love triangle between Harry Butler, Steve Irwin and Major Les Hiddins there is no way this knuckle dragging, frontal lobotomy of a human being could have survived on seeds and "rocket looking" plants. This guy could not find his @rse in three grabs let alone tie his shoelaces.
Total faker who will be exposed in the fullness of time.
He should pay back the money spent looking for him. Did he have travel insurance?
His dad initially said all money earned off this story will be given back to the rescue teams etc, then, changes this to a percentage, which is probably 0%.
What a joke...
Backpacker Jamie Neale yet to donate money
VOLUNTEERS involved in the search for British backpacker Jamie Neale in the Blue Mountains say they haven't received any donations from the teenager, but are not seeking payment.
...........
A NSW State Emergency Service (SES) spokesman said the organisation had not received any money from Mr Neale.
"The last I had heard earlier in the week, there had been no payment to the SES and nor would we be seeking one," the spokesman said.
"Our volunteers are just pleased to have achieved a good result in this case and that the person was found and reunited with his family.
"If Mr Neale or other people in these circumstances seek to get some financial gain out of the incident then that's a matter for them."
A Rural Fire Service spokesman said Mr Neale had not made a donation, but the volunteers don't do their job for the money and were not expecting or waiting for payment.
There are also reports the teenager has cut his father out of the television deal.
The pair apparently had a fall-out when Mr Neale said he was keeping the money, the UK newspaper The Sun reported.
Mr Anderson refused to comment on The Sun's story but confirmed his company, 22 Management, is still looking after Mr Neale's Australian interests.
Not even nostradamus could have seen that one coming?
THE dad of lost backpacker Jamie Neale is at war with his son after being cut out of a £50,000 TV deal.
Richard Cass is said to have flipped after the teenager refused to hand over half the cash.
Jamie, 19, was paid £50,000 by Australian TV current affairs show 60 Minutes to recount his extraordinary 12 days lost in the bush.
Mr Cass, who joined the desperate hunt for his son, claims they agreed to split the fee - and donate some to the mountain rescue charity which helped the search.
But Mr Cass, who has flown back to the UK, allegedly had a "serious fall out" with Jamie when he said he was keeping the money.
Now he plans to expose the lad as a money-grabber, it is claimed.
A source said: "Richard is ashamed of his son's behaviour. He feels like he's been kicked in the teeth."
Jamie Neale sends rescuers a fraction of fee
September 17, 2009 07:03pm
BRITISH backpacker Jamie Neale has sent the State Emergency Service (SES) a fraction of the money he earned from selling his tale of survival in the New South Wales Blue Mountains.
After a massive operation, the SES found the 19-year-old Londoner 12 days after he disappeared during a planned bushwalk on July 3.
Neale earned $200,000 from selling the story of how he survived on bush tucker and slept under logs to the Nine Network's 60 Minutes program.
At the time, he said part of the deal was that rescue services would receive $100,000 worth of local advertising to inform the public about how to properly prepare for hikes.
Today, the Seven Network reported Neale had personally donated $1500 to the Blue Mountains SES.
"The money will go to helping run the organisation here in the Blue Mountains,'' an SES spokesman told the network.
