Mem Fox was the target of vicious politically correct campaigns aimed at silencing her when for instance she observed that children were being baby-sat with technology.
Her comments were blown out of all proportion. Sadly, science has proved Mem Fox to have been correct, those screens are not good for young children. Generations are being raised by isolating iPads and so on. Just to say that political correctness goes beyond petty annoyances and seeks to abuse, coerce and ultimately destroy the person who transgresses against it, even mildly, well intentioned and supported by science and good sense.

to think the homosexuals (though few) who were bullied in the 50's and 60's are now among the most intolerant bigotted and violent mob going around. I think they hate the fact that biology just exposes how unnatural the acts they perform are. No changing laws will never change nature. Ever wondered why the so called ' gay ' marriages in US and UK have one girl dressed as a man and the other a woman.

Bill Leake - "The Australian" misses him already. Three Leake cartoons embraced by dear Pauline:
1. hugging a joyous Muslim suicide bomber http://pbs.twimg.com/media/C0j1cDrUQAAvZR2.jpg 2. the most famous "What's his name then?" http://quadrant.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/leak-cartoon.jpg and 3. Leake himself "My Bad" in the sequel http://spectator.com.au/content/uploads/2017/03/Snip20170310_7-820x550.png Posted by plantagenet, Friday, 17 March 2017 3:41:28 PM

Just as well appealing to nature is a fallacy then, eh runner?
<<No changing laws will never change nature.>> Either way, there’s plenty of evidence to suggest that homosexuality is a naturally evolved trait: http://scholar.google.com.au/scholar?hl=en&q=evolution+of+homosexuality&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C5&as_sdtp= Seriously though, folks. When are we just going to let this bigot die, already? The hate brigade are waving his legacy of small-mindedness around so much it’s starting to look like another Weekend at Burnie’s sequel. Discussions of 18C without any mention of 18D; fallacious appeals to nature that demonstrate no understanding of biological sex; the baseless assertion that children need a parent of each sex. Sheesh, how much ignorance can we argue for using one man’s death? As for Warwick Marsh’s organisation, as both a father and the son of a father, I resent fatherhood being used as a façade for what is ultimately just a religious group out to promote intolerance of gay people and their families.
