Trevor Jordan states that - "As they tell the truth about what happened, we recover an inkling that there might be a moral centre to the universe after all, despite the monstrous efforts of those, like Georgia Tann, who lay waste to all that is good in order to gratify their own lusts for money and power."
I hope very much that this comment suggests that fashions are changing and we can now talk about truth and moral values without people sniggering.
And that we can apply these concepts to some of the monsters who have gained power in our own community.
Queensland public servants are being monstered into ill health and out of work. This is quietly happening in our time. Lives are being ruined, but it happens so often that it is not considered to be news. It is considered to be is normal. In the way that Georgia Tann selling babies was once "normal".
The Bad Apple Bullies website http://www.badapplebullies.com/investigations.htm explains the present-day process by which Queensland teachers are being monstered by "Bad Apple" administrators who snigger at the mention of concepts such as truth and morality.
