Thanks, Foxy, I'll try to take your advice :)

Love,

Joe

Dear Joe,

I'll try to do the same.

I've just had things put into perspective for me.

We received a telephone call this evening. The
husband of a very close family friend is in
hospital. He was suffering from pneumonia.
They discovered a tumour on his brain.
The prognosis is not good.

runner,

Shorten would also be a shoo-in for a Gillian Triggs Award (GT) for 'representing' workers in his prior and present roles.

Foxy, SR,

What rational people despise is the rank hypocrisy of the left whingers. Just remember the cries for Barry O'Farrell to resign when he mislead ICAC over receiving a bottle of wine? He did the honorable thing and resigned.

Whereas Trigg's lies and incompetence are ignored simply because she is one of them.

The minimum expectations of an appointee to the head of an independent government agency are:
1 To fastidiously avoid the appearance of political bias
2 To be honest to a fault,
3 To carry out the duties of the position with due respect to the rights of all parties

To which Triggs failed miserably in every way.

As for holding the government to account she failed miserably here too, simply because she had become a laughing stock.

All the next AHRC has to do to excel is to simply do the exact opposite of Triggs.

Dear Shadow Minister,

I certainly trust that the next AHRC will certainly
not do the exact opposite. That it will not whitewash
government policies or function as an executive
mouthpiece for the government. That it will address
circumstances where rights and their abuse require
discussion and the means of redress. That the
undermining of justice and the protection of human rights
will not become neglected.

We can only hope that the politicisation of human rights
will cease. We trust that the new Commissioner will be
allowed to fulfill their role according to the law.
Australian and international. And that the new
Commissioner will not succumb to any temptation to run
away or fall away. They have big shoes to fill replacing
Prof. Triggs. Doing the opposite to what she did would be
a great loss not only for human rights but for our nation's
reputation globally.

In the interests of balance after Foxy's purple praise of Triggs,

This reader comment sums up the view of many,

"One would have thought it impossible to top the appalling audacity and bare-faced falsehood of Gillian Triggs, but Liberty Victoria succeeded brilliant!y. Voltaire, whose name they shamelessly usurped for their award, is reported to have said, and I paraphrase: “I don’t agree with what you are saying, but I will defend to death your right to say it.” Given Triggs’ perfect record of vigorously persecuting people for what they said or drew, makes this a nauseating travesty of decency. Triggs’ “angelic” picture on the cover of the magazine is the revolting icing on the putrid cake."
