Please ignore my previous post.. it has come to the wrong thread….

I must have been having a “blonde” moment

Pericles “Now, who is still in favour of Human Rights being enshrined in law?

Thought so.

Just the lawyers.”

Yes, the successes of workcare inspectors mean Workers compensation injuries are on the wane

Whistler “human rights legislation is an excellent candidate for consideration at the inaugural sessions
of the women's and the men's legislatures of the parliament of an equal rights republic.”

It ain’t ever going to happen.

I fail to see why you try to flog that dead horse

We have a unified parliament, the history of political “devolution” is very brief (and devolution based on gender non-existent).

Nor is it marked with many “successes” the Czech:Slovak devolution was peaceful… but I do recall wars fought to ensure the unity of the state (or ‘states’ in the matter of the US civil war of secession and various other (less than peaceful) incidence in Yugoslavia and Chechnya etc.

Even the Czech:Slovak devolution was geographically based and not “gender based yet occupying the same geography”

Regarding “anti-discrimination legislation” or all the other pointless pursuits of the inept and feeble, the following is an apt quote

"Yet the basic fact remains: every regulation represents a restriction of liberty, every regulation has a cost. That is why, like marriage (in the Prayer Book's words), regulation should not 'be enterprised, nor taken in hand, unadvisedly, lightly, or wantonly'.”

(And a prize to the first person who can answer the question “guess who I am quoting”)

Col,
Given your mindset one could guess 'Mad as a Maggot on Meths Maggie'.
Keep you prize (a piccy of the above) my parrot prefers the Janet Albrechtsen's ' opinion pieces ' to crap on. (they don't frighten him so much). Besides one shouldn't do that to ancient historic fools.
:-)

If we're going to quote, how about this
one:

"With various readings stored his empty skull,
learn'd without sense, and venerably dull!"
(Winston Churchill).

This isn't directed at any one in particular,
I just thought that I'd throw it in, just to
show that I'm a "deep" thinker as well.

As for Houellie's topic ...
Let them do whatever they want.
In the US there's a female travel agency
that provides women with "outdoor adventures,"
such as - sea kayaking the Adriatic,
climbing Bulgaria's mountains
or exploring the Panama. If some women
want to have adventures with their sister,
mother, bestfriend, work colleague... let them.
The same goes for the guys.
What's wrong with them in NSW?

Does this mean that there will no longer be
single-sex schools in NSW? No more single-sex
sport's clubs, no more obstetricians or gynecologists?
What about beauty salons? fitness clubs or gyms?

Could Erin have registered her business in another
state and work from home in NSW? (I believe there
are some people who have "offshore" business regos -
so they don't have to pay taxes).

Just a thought.

Col Rouge you so much sound like denis thatcher ...
it ain’t ever going to happen ... it ain’t ever going to happen
well it did! .... lol

A couple of quotes about the awful Thatcher:

<< She behaves with all the sensitivity of a sex-starved boa constrictor. [Tony Banks (The Independent, October 1997)] >>

<< There’s one thing I know I'd like to live long enough to savour,
That’s when they finally put you in the ground,
I’ll stand on your grave and tramp the dirt down.

"Tramp the Dirt Down", a song written about Thatcher by Elvis Costello >>

<< Loathsome, repulsive in almost every way. [Jonathan Miller] >>

Indeed, the last one could be applied to her fans as well.

The other day I was outside one of those "female only" gyms, there was a dog tied to the pole outside the building. This dog looked rather
depressed and anxious. So I told it "it is not because you are a dog that you can't go inside, it is because you are male", cheered the dog up no end.
I mean what is this debate all about, legalised discrimination is everywhere these days
