"Staff at the Governor General’s office will participate in a ‘privilege walk’".
I think the forceful application of a digger hat in a rapid, sweeping motion across the face of whoever came up with this idea would be a good response.

Sure does. GG is Queen's representative so 'staff' means household help and secretarial. Either GG himself instigated this or someone in the bureaucracy.
ReplyDeleteI did an Education Diploma in '98 and they asked us to watch 'brown eyes blue eyes' - we all just walked out. I'd seen it already and found it insulting and dishonest.
So glad I've retired.
Here's the current controversy:

Only on RT can we get all the facts of this case, because here it's all hand-ringing for the 'victim' who is obviously grand-standing for media fame.
Should have been charged with breaking into senator's office, instead the entitled brat is handled with too much kindness and repays it with spite, AOC style. Next she'll become a media star - that's surely the plan. So much easier than working hard to succeed on merit. Grifters on all sides.
'staff' means household help and secretarial.
ReplyDeleteEven more outrageous. These are the people whose privilege is an issue?
The alleged rape case - yes, that's right, I said alleged - is yet another example of the toxic nature of wokeism. I'm not saying it didn't happen, incidentally, but we're never going to know for sure unless the facts are established. Which I guess is the point: if it may have happened, it's the same thing as if it definitely happened.
Thank you my Friends.
ReplyDeleteI live in Melbourne Australia.
We have been the test bed for "modern" communism since the sixties.
We have had an internal invasion of leftist "students".
Chairman Dan.
God help us.

God bless, Ron.
ReplyDeleteWhen it's this woke at the top, I shudder to think what's happening at the lower levels.
ReplyDeleteOK, but as a 1950s Irish-Australian Catholic it seems to me that the Anglo-Protestant elites have always been 'woke at the top'.
ReplyDeleteThey banned slavery before they banned convict transportation to Australia - which was slavery in all but name. Think about that. They cared more about coloured people than about their own fellow British (and Irish). What to speak of the plight of ordinary Brits until recently - I grew up with English and Scottish migrants who arrived here malnourished, stunted like the AC/DC guys who went to school with me (never met tho).
So when I see this stuff I see a direct line from Samuel Marsden 'educating' the lower classes out of their 'vices'. Elite 'Wowsers' have always been a bother in Australia, and living under them is the price we had to pay for peace.
I won't tolerate their spoiled brat kids taking over our parliament though.
Terminology - it reads better as 1950s Australian Irish Catholic. Irish Catholics were just different, especially in the 1950s. I'm not a hyphenated Australian, no way.
ReplyDeleteHere's what Arthur Calwell, one of our Australian Irish Catholic leaders, proposed in 1966:
'Australians are descended, to a predominant degree, from people of English, Scotch, Irish and Welsh origin. That predominance should not be disturbed. ...
Labor believes that our policy of assimilation and absorption is the only sensible policy for Australia to pursue.
It is determined to continue to oppose, for many obvious reasons, any attempt to create a multi-racial society in our midst. '

That idea was supported by Irish Catholics at least until 1970, or later among the followers of Bob Santamaria (non-Irish but supported by us).
But Calwell lost the election and was replaced by the Anglican ponce Gough Whitlam, Anglo-Protestants ascendent on both sides of politics. Jim Cairns was a freaking Methodist - pioneers of feminism for 200 years. Wowsers all - our 'moral betters' who always know what's best for us hoi polloi.
It's not a religious thing so much as a class thing.
