Dear Joe,

<<After all, on one hand, bullying is wrong; and, on the other, discrimination against homosexuals is also wrong.>>

And many believe that nose-picking and ear-picking are also wrong.
Many others believe that sex outside marriage is wrong.
Actually, I am vegetarian and I believe that eating meat is wrong.

Where do you stop?

Whether we know it or not, whether we agree or not, many things that we do are wrong, but this does not give anyone the moral right to legislate against it and prosecute those who carry our each and every wrong action.

The ultimate legitimate justification for the existence of states is to protect their citizens against physical harm.

Discrimination by individuals can be wrong - but cannot be remotely compared with bullying. Everyone should have the right to associate only with those they agree to associate with.

Poirot and Foxy,

It is entirely possible to fire someone for expressing a political opinion if political neutrality is condition of employment, as more than a few public servants have found out.

However, as Roz was suspended for bringing the safe schools program into disrepute, it is entirely a different matter. That she brought the program into disrepute is in no doubt as she was successfully fired from her government position for just that.

That she successfully threatened her employers and kept her job, does not mean that her record is unblemished, or that she has retained the same influence over the program, and I doubt she will survive another blunder.

Dear Shadow Minister,

I accept what the lawyers had to say on the subject.
So did the university by re-instating Ms Ward.

What the future holds for Ms Ward?
We'll have to wait and see. However, it turns out
that her colleagues at the university fully support her.

Foxy: However, it turns out that her colleagues at the university fully support her.

But does that really mean anything? If they are predominately Left wing, Marxists, GLTB, Politically Correctionists. Is their opinion really valid.

Foxy,

She still hasn't been reappointed to the gov post, and I seriously doubt that she will have the freedom to do what she was doing.

The amazing thing is that people bang on so much about not enough money for mental health for young people when the ideologies being promoted by these confused only lead to more suicide and deviancy. The very thing they claim to be trying to stop. Regressive ideology is sick and very harmful to kids. The people pushing these sick child grooming ideologies need help not given positions of power. Turnbull and Shorten are pathetically weak.
