So, Julia Baird and the ABC have declared war on Christianity. At least that’s what some would have us all believe.
My view is that if there was a war involving Christianity, it is one that the religion has been waging on the public for decades, and perhaps centuries. Anybody unsure of this only needs to look at the statistics on the sexual abuse of children.
Last weekend was Easter weekend, a weekend that many believe a bearded Middle Eastern man died for our sins thousands of years ago.
However I don’t want to talk about religion today, I want to talk about a death this Easter that is already being shrugged off by far too many. A death that was for the sake of entertainment.
Today I thought I’d send a shout out to someone I’ve written about in the past.
This person has no doubt been doing it tough for the last few years, and has been away, but this month I believe he is returning.
Malcolm Turnbull tells us all that there is
“Masses of evidence”
to support the annihilation of Sunday penalty rates for retail and hospitality staff.
Today in Melbourne Magistrates Court Kathy Jackson started her court appearance as she will likely eventually finish it.
In the dock.
Jackson arrived at court this morning with Michael Lawler by the side of “his beloved” for support, and given he probably hasn’t much more to do after his departure from Fair Work Commission that ended in a cloud of shame.
It seems once again the Australian’s Ean Higgins thinks he is on a winner.
That’s right, the man who convinced the gullible that Kathy Jackson was a legendary whistleblower and hero of the working class has found himself another whistleblower of an apparently similar moral standing.
Last night it was an almost full house in the Legislative Council Committee Room in Victorian Parliament House to listen to evidence being given at the Inquiry into the Domestic Animals Amendment (Puppy Farms and Pet Shops) Bill 2016.
In what feels somewhat like Déjà vu I have recently found myself once again correcting the reports of the mainstream regarding to goings on within the HSU.
The mainstream, both News Ltd and Fairfax, who for years told us how heroic Kathy Jackson was as she allegedly bled the unions dry now suddenly think they can convince us that they are an authority on all things HSU.
“There’s nothing like self-promotion.”
There is an unfortunate lie being insinuated and pedalled by some in the media that being part of a union somehow makes you dodgy, criminal, and untrustworthy.
