Dear Shadow Minister,

Get off the grass. Are we going to be that pedantic? Okay, this is a small sample of Triggs speaking out during that time.

Triggs had tried to access both Nauru and Manus in 2012 but was told she did not have jurisdiction to do so.

Her “scathing” report of Christmas Island visited in 2012 is here;

These were some of the remarks about what she found;

Triggs appeared on 4 Corners in april 2013
“I think it's very hard to understand how anybody could imagine that sending children to this environment could possibly be in their best interests. And one has to argue about not only the legal but the ethical dimensions of using some children and some families to send some sort of deterrent message that clearly is not being effective.”

Her she is challenging Gillard's policy;

"there will be no opportunity for the High Court to review whether regional processing will be conducted in accordance with human rights standards".
"The repeal of the human rights protections in the Migration Act violates one of the first recommendations of the expert panel

These were all within your narrow time frame and there are many other instances.

I say it again Triggs was not as 'quiet as a mouse' as you so maliciously asserted. She was in there fighting for the human rights of refugees all along and it pissed off both sides of politics. But as usual it was your lot who took the attacks to the next level.

And look, you are still at it now. Two months and she will be gone. Time to give it a rest mate.

I think it is time you all retired from this discussion after all it seems you are going round in circles.
In opposite directions

SR,

I read most of you links and as I said before none of Trigg's comments before Sept 2013 was more than motherhood statements with the force of wet lettuce. Compared to the ruckus she tried to kick up after Sept 30 2014 when Labor was gone is ridiculous, and comparatively as quiet as a mouse.

Foxy,

I know you tried to address the issues but failed miserably. Nothing changes that she was deeply biased, lied to the senate and disgracefully persecuted innocent students.

That she is gone in 2 months is great news for all Australians and for free speech.

Thank you, SM, yes indeed.

Hopefully we will soon have a head of the HRC who actually supports the freedom of speech that so many people have fought for, for centuries, freedoms that totalitarians everywhere despise and fear.

Dear Shadow Minister,

It appears you are conceding that Triggs was vocal during the time that you claimed she was as quiet as a mouse, but that you perceive the volume was not at a significant level to properly attack the Labour Party.

You sir are an extraordinarily partisan person.

Dear Loudmouth,

What myopic rubbish my friend.

Here is a little test. Do you also believe the refugees we are keeping in highly stressful, punitive, and dehumanising detention also deserve a voice? Do you believe those doctors and other support workers tasked with attending to their welfare should be silenced with threats of two years in prison for voicing their concerns about the treatment and conditions of these unfortunate people?

Think about that for a minute. Two years of imprisonment for daring to speak out.

Faux or selective indignation is rather unattractive at the best of times. Best you stop now.

Shadow Minister,

Well done. You are really rattling the cages of the Left-wing misfits. Keep up the good work.
