Dan Dare, you don't get it.

In faith-based organisations EVERYONE is expected to be involved at some level with advancing the purpose of that organisation, even the gardiner, the cleaner and the filing clerk.

And any faith based organisation that emplyed people who fundamentally disagree with that organisation's reason for being is only opening that organisation up to ridicule.

Dan Dare,

Dougthebear's apology is unwarranted. He should not have to plead with you for an exemption, or in fact he does not owe you any explanation in the first place on why he chooses to employ certain people and not others.

Employers (except in the public sector or those who receive benefits from the state in one form or another) have the full right not to employ ice-cream eaters. I suspect they will soon find that practice very stupid and un-economic so many of them will break ranks.

Get off this entitlement mentality: Nobody owes you explanations and nobody owes you a job.

dear Dougthebear, sorry for not getting back to you sooner. Your spot on, but it goes even further than that. The "old girl network" in the Red/green, getup, GAYLP, Socialist Alliance goes out of their way with nepotism to give each other jobs. 90% of all social workers are Fe"Man"Nazis. if you are a young, gay, metro-sexual you might have a chance of a job there, if you can prove you are a "card carrying" party member, in the "politically correct" faction, & will "tow the party/factional line".

Investigate the history of the entire public sector, safe seats, bureaucrookracy, NGOs, QANGOs, sub contractors, infrastructure projects, anything getting any government money at all & you will find family, factional friends, donations, "performance bonuses".

Oh & the Red/greens really, truely, genuinely are a faith based organisation.

"Mother Nature" is the other one they always mention & worship.

Poor, dear rusty, Red/green policies have been & still are damaging our forests, "burning people at the stake", right now.

Q, Why do you think those bush fires in Victoria & everywhere else are getting worse?

A, fuel loads, not enough grazing animals, means to much "undergrowth fuel loads", real conservationists in the Australian Democrats were talking about this stuff in the 70's & 80's.

The RED/greens are CARS, Communist, Anarchist, Radical, Socialists who pretend to care about, "the environment" as an excuse to oppose all developement, progress, industry, jobs, in "capitalist" countries.

And as for mentioning wars have you not heard of Stallin, Pol Pot?
