Dear Shadow Minister,

A household joke?

In your household?

Because in mine - there's a long line led by
Barnaby Joyce, Dutton, Pyne, Morrison,
Abbott, and the list goes on.

Dearest Foxy,

I think SM is right on the button. He could have added,

* the ruining of a student's chosen career;

* the Mafia-like shakedown for hush-money from other students - pay up and we'll lay off;

* the attempt to ruin a brilliant cartoonist's career, and in the process shut down fair comment - vitally needed comment - about conditions on remote Aboriginal 'communities, where life expectancy is probably half of what it is for Indigenous people in the cities, Foxy, much of it due to all manner of violent behaviour.

Triggs used - abused - her position to cow people into not raising their heads and speaking out. She devalued their human rights in order to push her own grubby agenda.

And you want her in your corner ?

What can I say, Foxy ?

Love notwithstanding,

Joe

Dear Joe,

I certainly would not want Brandis
in my corner. And the behaviour of
these people against Triggs has been
disgraceful.

Foxy,

You forgot to include,

Gillard, Rudd, Shorten, Plibersek, Bob Brown, Hansen Young, Rhiannon, and pretty much everyone in Labor and the greens.

Dear Foxy,

Brandis ? Neither here nor there. 'Tu quoque' won't get you anywhere, dear.

Is there any truth in my little list of offenses by Triggs ? Should I be apologising ?

Love,

Joe

Dear Joe,

Apology accepted.
