Dear David F.,

I have been re-reading the links that I
cited earlier including the partial
emails that Prof. Spurr has sent to his
colleagues and friends at the university.
The name callings and tone he uses when
describing women and others I find extremely
disturbing. I don't agree with the take that
its simply a "whimsical linguistic game." And
it raises the question as to what kind of an
influence he would have on his students.
Surely any teacher has to held accountable for
his language - even when done in private and a
university does have to set certain standards
of conduct and what it expects from its staff?

After Nova Peris and Barry Spurr, should we all give up on email in the name of privacy?

Wow, Senator Peris leaves Barry Spurr in the shade and unlike Spurr she was in government and she really is expressing heartfelt,racially biased sentiments in her emails and is explicit about using government funding to pursue a racist agenda.
Senator Nova Peris sought taxpayers’ money to help her to carry out a ‘freaky’ extra-marital sexual tryst with Olympic medallist Ato Boldon

If you have information useful to Communists like the people writing for New Matilda they have the contacts in the intelligence services and telecommunications companies to get your account details, don't believe a word of this "hacking" business.
The Spurr affair, the Frances Abbott case and the Nova Peris story are just an indication of the level of corruption and the low standards of journalism today, the editors of New Matilda and the NT News are no better than Andy Coulson and Rupert Murdoch and should be hauled over the coals just as vigourously.

There is only a certain amount of 'Progressive' politically correct indignation one can fit into a day.

I wonder though how Foxy has managed to avoid noticing the remarks being attributed to a certain Australian Senator? Remember the strife when PM Julia Whatsherbloodyname, the 'Real' Julia, announced Nova Peris Shinbone as a candidate for election?

<Senator Nova Peris sought taxpayers’ money to help her to carry out an extra-marital sexual tryst with Olympic medallist Ato Boldon in 2010, an NT News investigation has revealed.
Ms Peris, who was working as a communication officer with the Australian Institute of Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Studies at the time and as ambassador for Athletics Australia, sought funds from Athletics Australia and other sources to pay for Mr Boldon’s trip to Australia from Los Angeles to take part in a 10 day official “Jump Start to London” program for young athletes.
She also used that trip to carry out a “just like a Tim-tam... black on black” affair with Mr Boldon. She was married to Daniel Batman at the time.>

otb

again the Captain showing very poor judgement with her pick. Young and naive!

Gentlemen,

You're really grabbing at straws here by giving
us examples of how certain politicians have
behaved in their personal lives.

History is full of these accounts.

What matters is as David F.,
as pointed out is their behaviour in their jobs.
And is that behaviour approprate. Sydney
University thought not.

Prof. Barry Spurr's behaviour came under scrutiny
because he was based at the University of Sydney
and served as a consultant on the Abbott Government's
review of the National School Curriculum.

His emails were sent to friends and colleagues at the
University of Sydney from the University's computer over
a two year period from September 2012 to June 2014.
He ended up losing his job at the University as a result
of his breaking the University's code of conduct to which
he signed up on being hired by the University. The University
found he had broken the code of conduct.

It's a different scenario from the ones you're presenting
regarding Ms Peris.

BTW - Jayb, could you please provide us with evidence that New
Matilda is a "Communist" site. I was not aware of that.

And - otb, could you please be more specific and tell us
who you think are the "Progressives," in this discussion?
And why?

I'm sure others would also be interested to share
your information.

we know Foxy one treats the public with contempt and gets away with it while another breaks the letter of the law.

Spurr was also one of many on the review of the curriculum. Just suites the leftist ideology to demonise and kick him out of the feminsist dominated ideology institutions. Numerous people would have offensive emails on their computers. Having morally bereft people call all wives prostitutes or showing Abbott having sex with animals seems to win you approval with the regressives. You again are blinded Foxy but that is nothing new.
