It appears that only the two One Nation senators understood that virtue signalling and nannying is not part of they job. The only two senators who are not morons, voted against Senator Yankee Doodle's motion.

Rowan Baxter's Facebook page deleted after becoming a memorial of rage

Its when the community doesn't become outraged by this sort of terrible behaviour that we have a worse problem.

Nah ttbn, Hanson and her side kick were probably confused as ever, and thought it was a vote condemning them. As it should be.

Good to see all parties except the two bods from the lunatic fringe standing together condemning domestic violence.

I was reminded today of Labor politician, Bob Collins, AO, charged with child sex offences and committing suicide before he could appear before a court. I would have thought that Bettina Arndt's "crime" of exercising her right to free speech was not in the same league as Senator Collins. Labor and the truly gutless Coalition Senators have short memories.

Well, everyone's entitled to their own opinions.

I think I've got to side with Arndt and Hanson.
But that doesn't in any way mean I support what Rowan Baxter did.

They've got courage and conviction to stand up for what's right, even when it looks bad.

We have to start out on an even playing field.
- No preconceptions and no bias -

Women can't get a permanent free pass to never have their own behavior questioned in relationships.

Relationships take two, and this is a non-negotiable fact.
On a basis of merit, I can't only judge one persons behavior.
Nor should I judge one persons behavior independently;
If I'm going to pass judgement on one, then I want to see the bigger picture so I can pass judgement on both.

"Bill the plumber should get an O of A for 50 years of service to drains and pipes. BTW I knew a woman, now passed on, who for 50 years spent countless hours helping out with homeless people in Sydney, always at the stove in the kitchen, so to speak, not a leader, but a doer, never one for attention, she never receiver an O of A, not high profile enough, not in the media enough, not good enough."

I think you make a real good point about all the unsung heroes.

'not high profile enough, not in the media enough, not good enough'

Thinking about this... what does it all mean?

People who have influence, and can help forward an agenda.
People who they can have a hold over, or face shaming and revoke the award.

Giving Bill the Plumber a medal doesn't help forward any agendas.
Taking it away doesn't matter none of us know the bloke and he's not in the news.

Are these medals or dog-collars?
