The Grrls of the Leftist EMILY's List

I sure hope that the exasperated Aussie taxpayer will not be stumping up for any of these matey knees-ups. (Just 2 of a number shown)

Foxy, I'm not JayB, I don't know where that idea came from.
I didn't say that New Matilda was a communist site, I called the contributors communists, which many of them are.
Once again we run into "context denial" from the so called progressives.
Barry Spurr has never been outspoken on race, he's never run an election campaign on the basis of his race , Nova Peris has always been outspoken on issues of race in fact she's a race hustler like Adam Goodes or Jacquie Lambie, now we find out she has negative views of "Australians" as well as other Aboriginals and was suggesting to her lover that they corruptly procure state funds through the vehicle of a racially based outreach program.
Spurr is just an old fool who is innocent of any actual wrongdoing, Peris appears to have been heading down the road to corruption in office, there's a difference but the common thread is "leaked" emails.
The other major difference is that even if he wanted to Spurr could not capitalise his "racist" views or cash in on the fact that he's a White man whereas Nova Peris clearly thought that she could use her Aboriginality (and the fact that she's mixed race) for her own personal gain. She talks about how there has to be some "salt in the mix" for Australians to stump up the cash for black causes, which is interesting in light of Bolt vs Eatock because clearly some Aboriginals think that being mixed race and claiming Aboriginality at the same time is a path to prestige and financial gain.

Dear Jay,

My apologies - but you can't blame me really for
getting you mixed up with Jayb, you both seem
identical from your posts. You know similar to the
old adage, that all "commies," "progressives," "Emily
Listers," are alike (smile).

As for comparing Ms Peris and Barry Spurr?
Chalk and Cheese.

And I suggest you go back
and read the links I gave concerning some of Mr Spurr's
emails and see the words he uses and their tone.
And then try to tell me the man is not a racist and
should still have a job teaching at a University.

As the links point out - Prof. Spurr is a man who can
have a major influence in pushing the National
Curriculum for school children away from Aboriginal
and Torres Strait Islander Literature and towards
British writers. He's also a man who when discussing in
a Parliamentary Reception said Tony Abbott should
have put down and said, "No More Abos."

You may think that's not being a racist. I don't
agree with you.

As for New Matilda having "communists" contributing to
their publication?
So f#@$ing what?

I wouldn't
presume to describe - some of -
The Australian's, Daily Telegraph's, or Herald Sun's
contributors as Right-Wing, Goose-Stepping Facists.
Although their news appears to be limited.

Foxy, context is everything.
There's another big conflict between progressives and reality, there's no such thing as Indigenous literature,any literature produced by indigenous people is part of English literature because they were not literate before colonisation.
More to the point why should a tiny subset of English literature, those works written by mixed race people of partial Indigenous ancestry be given any space in a national curriculum at all?
Spurr is described as a conservative, conservatives are just as invested in multiculturalism and White guilt as progressives, that would be why he's never been seen to publicly speak on race or take any action which indicated he was a "racist".
As I said before, Barry Spurr could never capitalise on his "racism", he's part of the liberal, multicultural right so it's impossible for him to skew his consultations without being immediately jumped upon by the communists in academia and their associates who write for New Matilda.
Barry Spurr is as invested in political correctness as any other humanities professor so the allegations against him are nonsense, if you want to hear what a real "right winger" sounds like listen to this podcast:

You understand that the only fora where people like Frank Salter can promote their views in public are held in places like Azerbaijan,Malaysia and Iran?

'As for comparing Ms Peris and Barry Spurr? Chalk and Cheese.'

Yep one is a white male held to account, another a black woman displaying despicable behaviour behind the cloak of feminism and being an aboriginal. No wonder Foxy supports the latter.

Dear Jay,

There certainly is such a thing as Indigenous Literature.
And the study of it is extremely important for a variety
of reasons ranging from cultural and intellectual
enrichment, to Australian heritage, to language, to
academic discipline, to filling in gaps in available
knowledge, to knowledge for its own sake, to shedding new
light on what humnanity has since forgotten, and so on.

As for the rest of your post - you seem to be greatly
influenced by the Andrew Bolt case - where Mr Bolt got things
so wrong. (Nothing new there). He got his facts wrong - you
should do a bit more research on that particular case before
you take on his assumptions and try to present them as
facts in this discussion if you want to be taken
seriously.

As for your persistent references to New Matilda and
attempts to link it with communism. Absurd!
Julian Burnside QC, pointed out a few years back - that -
"it is a strange paradox that while we live in a torrent
of information, there is such a limited range of
available views."

"Media ownership in Australia is notoriously narrow.
Mainstream media offers precious little diversity and
such diversity as there is runs along predictable lines..."

That's why we need media outlets such as New Matilda,
and the ABC to name just two, to give us the diversity of
views that is sorely lacking in the mainstream media or the
jungle of the internet.
