Only if you stop picking one site that makes a statement to support your view and ignoring the others.
Castle certain Folau sacking was right call but admits she would 'do some things differently'
terrence, if that is all you have in your cannon, you’ll be lucky if the ball makes it out of the barrel.

Hammy, I leave my activism for the ballot box, but who the hell I will vote for this year is beyond me ATM.
Castle certain Folau sacking was right call but admits she would 'do some things differently'
Me neither MK, particularly when it’s something I don’t want to read – like last years stats on the combined SR and how the Aussie teams went.
Never happened! we nearly won every game and could have won, had it not been for those devious KIWI’s.

I wish to disagree Jacko, a good one can be gone in under 30 seconds.

Hammy, I have two close friends who are members.
I do not belong to any political groups or societies but if they and you wish to fight for liberty like this that is OK with me. Some groups are fighting to destroy our liberty and I accept it but cannot under any circumstance agree or approve that direction.

Dave, he bombed a police station that killed a couple of policemen I believe. Still a great man in my book and look at the mess those that followed him have made of SA?

rebel excellent post and very rational. This brings up the big issue, and that is emotion, these days it seems to trump rationality as your post proves.
I agree she should not be sacked or anything be done to her. Is the difference because she is Muslim? In which case it is more than double standards, it’s gross hypocrisy.

Jacko, I was surprised to read years ago, that we are one of the most compliant societies on the planet, yet we have evolved from a bunch of crims dumped here by the Poms. Bizzare don’t you think?
The fearful are easily led, the courageous are not so easy.

Do a Google search and see how many articles are about this and return and tell me I am lying. You are just another deceitful lefty who hopes to control the dialogue by pointing in the opposite direction.

To quote Folau – Jesus! I’d love to try that….

No Problem Jez, I suggest it is because it was the largest sponsor(?) with the highest-profile.
They all do it to increase power and profit. https://www.c-span.org/video/?513933-1/after-words-vivek-ramaswamy

Pretty much Larry and certainly over the last years since Kevin Dudd.
Any idea what the difference in government debt is between 2007 to today? 2007 gov debt 92 billion – Australia government (fed/state and local) debt last week was 1.45 trillion dollars! 1,450 billion, the chart goes up better than Michael Manns false hockey stick..http://australiandebtclock.com.au/ Nearly 16x greater than 2007 and both parties claim they will control debt – Reah! Right. A pox on both their houses.
The countries total debt is over 8 trillion dollars and the left want us to spend even more, Sco Mo has lost the next election by trying to appease a bunch of left-wing, hopefully swinging voters.

Rhys, if you don’t want to read it here is a video with the author Vivek Ramaswamy

Jacko, I was trying to preempt a reply as that is common. Apologies as I didn’t realise that you thought we all have a right to decide vaccinations. I have had many over my life and have no issue with getting them as I want to bugger off diving in Bali at the earliest non-quarantined time I can.

Jez, I just re-read my post and I cannot see anywhere where I suggested it was only Qantas, the whole world of major corporations have gone Woke and the reason behind it, that I could never get my head around is in that book Woke Inc.
If you think it was just wishing to be nicer, you are deluded.

AK, If some mad government in the future decriminalised it then I would say exactly what I feel about it. Regarding anyone else expressing their ideas regarding this issue, I deplore it but I would not vote to criminalise that speech. That is where the line is drawn at the ballot box you and I have no other option.
Castle certain Folau sacking was right call but admits she would 'do some things differently'
Jacko, I know 2 who fit this bill, they refuse to do it due to their libertarian ideals.
They are both very smart and sophisticated and certainly not knuckle draggers if that is your response?
Castle certain Folau sacking was right call but admits she would 'do some things differently'
Jez, you have to ask why? The answer lies in a book called Woke Inc if you haven’t read it.

Me neither TLN or I would have been doxed and banned years ago.

No Ken, let’s go with destroyers of all KIWI SR teams, that should do it…..

Tony, Had a look for the video but couldn’t find it. Hope you can find it and post it here

MK, then you are the only one! Never met a reclusive or introverted one in my year of living there.
My view of them is that they are too talented by far and therefore leave people like me as an emotional victim of their abilities.
