Cindy Prior's attempt to exhort money from this situation has failed. I hope she has learned her lesson.
I feel sorry for the students.

Who vilified whom? It seems to me she went the other three first, based purely on racial discrimination?

Unconscious biases exist in every person and every society. You cannot change unconscious biases by applying social pressure. To attempt to do so is extremely ignorant. The PC brigade and the Twitterati don't understand human nature.

The application of social pressure to an unconscious bias only embeds it more deeply. It rids it on a surface level, and it will appear to be 'fixed', but it is made worse. They will wake up to this fact one day.

Having said all this, male traffic icons aren't a problem for anyone I know of. To even notice this is a sign of severe victim mentality.

How will blind people know the difference? Will the "WALK" be in a lower octave when it is the man signal and a high pitched screeching noise when it is the "WOMAN" signal to stop?
 
More waste of taxpayers money with no accountability.

Time to start removing these public servants that sit on the gravy train.
 
They're using the wrong place for a start.
They should have trialed this in the St Kilda red light district.

Tartan Day will be good for laughs :)
 
Apparently its privately raised funds. Thats not to say that taxpayers money isn't wasted somewhere. I think abc's "international womens day" banning of men from all broadcasting positions is another stupid gesture. Lets celebrate equality by kicking all the men off. New wave feminists lost the plot years ago.
 
Vale cartoonist Bill Leak. A brave Australian who suffered a heart attack this week.

Perhaps the first ever casualty of latter day Orwellian political correctness. Hounded, and threatened with death, for the crime of...expressing an opinion contrary to Leftist orthodoxy.

Just 61 years old.

Even more disturbing is the fact that so many morons tweeted hateful obituaries on Social Media. Basking in self-righteousness, welcoming his death, is akin to having pulled a trigger and murdering him for his views. Hypocrisy and a most contemptible display of low-life inhumanity.
 
Agree with you both.

I have heard comments like that, pixel, when giving an opinion.

The sooner the old people die the better.

Standing up for something does not mean you dislike the person.

I posted a song by George Michael.
We went to his concert when we were young and I like his music.

Oh, but you are glad he is dead.

Why would I be glad he is dead?

This is where it is getting ridiculous, imv.
