Dear Shadow Minister,

Vladimir Putin has already won The Big Brother award.

But if you're interested there's The Foot in Mouth Award
or The Golden Raspberry.

I'll happily nominate you for either.

Foxy,

Actually both should go to Triggs for twice having to apologise for lying to the senate.

I'm sorry, but Triggs is an incompetent, despicable old tart who couldn't give a crap for the lives of the students that she tried to ruin for political gain. Australia will be a better place when she is booted out of her $400k p.a. ivory tower.

Dear Shadow Minister,

History will be the judge.

I wouldn't place my money on the outcome if I
were you though.

Shadow Minister,
Well said, Bravo
Unfortunately this women is just one of the so called "honored" that gladly draw their outlandish government
pay packets each week and believe they actually earn it.
400k a year is equal to the pensions of 35 aged and under paid people who genuinely have earned their rest.
GT rot in hell

Dear Foxy,

What a marvelous idea. I think the dinner would be a great opportunity to hear Ms Triggs while supporting Liberty Victoria. If you do manage to go I would be very keen to hear your thoughts.

While the primary reason for the angst toward Prof Triggs is because she dared expose the immoral conduct towards refugees by successive governments, it is not difficult to see misogynist attitudes playing a role in the defamatory responses from within the ranks of the Coalition.

Even here one can see that attitude writ large in Shadow Minister's calling her a “despicable old tart”. A tart is someone who sleeps with others for money, a prostitute. It is quite evident he is more than comfortable using this kind of gender and value laden insult toward an esteemed Australian.

Gillian Triggs has stared down some of the most bullying behaviour ever directed at an independent chair in Australia's history. I admire her values, her strength and her tenacity. She has honoured the role.

Foxy, "I'm tempted to buy tickets to the event in July and organise a table. My husband has made the offer (It's close to my birthday). What an evening that would be"

What hubris!

A ring side seat to the further humiliation of the victims, the young QUT students and the cartoonist who unlike yourself, had compassion for the suffering of others.

You were invited but consistently ignored and refused the invitation extended to you several times in this thread (and still open now) to at least say you had some feeling and a measure of compassion for the plight of those QUT students who were done a dreadful wrong by the very powerful, but arbitrary and capricious* Human Rights Commission headed by Gillian Triggs, herself a highly skilled lawyer of long experience.
