Sry, not being one of the 'chosen ones' and existing in the universe outside of the echo chamber (a tough job, but I manage), I sometimes miss things.

That lady with the ostentatious headdress bigger than a Russian Orthodox Priest's and not far off a grain silo, is Susan, not Sue.

Dress up is so much fun for girls.

And here is Bill 'Whatever She Says' Shorten who never was sure of what he stood for, but recently it is said to be, "diversity of skin colour, gender and sexuality — Safe Schools BS," [with thanks to Mr Latham].

If you lock up children, without charge or trial, indefinitely, in circumstances known to produce adverse medical outcomes, then in my book that makes you a child abuser.

Worse still, if you refuse the generous offers of other states to take some of these Asylum Seekers in then the behavior goes to the "knowing and deliberate infliction of mental harm with an intent to destroy."

Regardless of any of her other failings, the fact that she put the spotlight on the child abusers in Canberra is a very good thing.

..

We ought remember that what the HRC is supposed to be is a full legal implementation of the relevant treaties, covenants and treaties that Australia has signed up to, which is to say strictly speaking the relevant international law is required to be implemented into local law. But of course, few states do this preferring rather to sign up and not follow through purely for a fake news opportunity to look good.

In other words, all the HRC is another tin pot, grossly overpaid hive of filthy, dead wood, pencil fiddling wig parasites. It doesn't have to be that way, but like most things in this crappy little country it is unfortunately. But that is the fault of a morally bankrupt political establishment.

What a bad joke this country is.

I think the child abusers protesteth too much.

Dream On,

So why did she 'put the spotlight' on two years too late ? Why did she delay her report until Labor was out of office and the Coalition had acted on the detention of children, reducing their numbers massively ?

I suspect 'dead silence' will be your reply.

Not really, Foxy. I've put my oar in, and I'm sick of going around in circles. Defend the indefensible as much as you like, I've got more important things.

We are told that there is a proposed new Gillian Triggs Award.

" [The] proposal is that we have an annual Gillian Triggs Award to commemorate her tenure as head of the Australian Human Rights Commission".

"The award should be annually presented to the person, of whatever gender they choose to have, irrespective of national ethnicity, race, creed, colour or religion, who has shown the most dense, obtuse and hypocritical understanding of human rights in Australia."
