I find it interesting, McLovin, that the left once cheered him on, but when he realised that they weren't about freedom, they had become anti freedom.
They turned their back on him.
Bill Leak dared to shine a spotlight on the truth.

Progressives that don't believe in freedom of speech.
I call them Communists.

i'm not sure why you'd find that particularly interesting. He went from a leftie to a rightie. It seems a pretty normal reaction. Portraying him as a martyr who died protecting free speech is just ridiculous. Bill spent most of his life battling alcoholism. Heart disease is a symptom of excessive alcohol consumption. I met him a handful of times through mutual friends who were very close to him. They'll all tell you he revelled in the controversy, it certainly didn't kill him. But of course that doesn't suit the right wing narrative of everything being under threat.
OK.

I think we also have to be realistic about the limp governance that allowed him to be targetted in the first place. It was under the prevaricating watch of the LNP Govt that allowed it to gain traction, presumably as a game to put blame of the Labor Party.
A true govt that wanted to protect it's citizens against pathetic complaints form hurt feelings would act instead of using parliamentary games for political gain. This govt talks the talk but is seemingly paralysed.

Our taxes at work. Predictable absurdities. Shut down this useless drain on the public purse. Out of step and out of time.
Shortcuts are unacceptable where the lives of our military men and women are at stake. We want the best products, made by the best available people. Not a bunch or diversity hires.
What's next. With LGBTI - what's the quota going to be for B's, T's and I's?

I can't see any reason why we need a Human Rights commission.
Our rights are protected by law and the Constitution. There are plenty of Legal associations keeping an eye on breaches of rights and they will speak up if necessary.

Don't talk to me about 0 and 6, it's a bitter pill to swallow after last year.
The HRC is like many quangos, they have to do something to justify their existence. Time to shut them down, they are just wasting money.

Hmmm tell me more about 0 and 6
Of course the solution to all this equal opportunity pivots around the "fact" that gender is what you feel you are, not the mistake of birth that trapped you inside an inappropriate shell.
So what unqualified job shall we apply for girls ... commissioner, governor general, prime minister, ....?

Yes, let's make Kelly O'Dwyer PM just to even things up.

The minimum expectation of our team is not to watch on passively as three opposition players beat up on young Callum Mills. A low point in our recent history.Hmmm tell me more about 0 and 6

The Swans are being out muscled I'm afraid. The way Krueser and co broke the pack and took marks in front of goal was shameful for the Swans. They need to get buddy intimidating the opposition down front instead of running around the midfield.
That's the opinion of this armchair coach anyway.

Gillian Triggs: Yassmin Abdel-Magied backlash linked to Muslim hostility
Human Rights Commission chief Gillian Triggs appears for the last time at a Senate Estimates committee at Parliament House in Canberra today. Picture: Kym Smith
In her last appearance at Senate estimates, Professor Triggs today suggested the public backlash towards Ms Abdel-Magied over the posts was motivated by a growing hostility towards Muslim women.
She declined to say Ms Abdel-Magied’s comments were offensive when pushed by Tasmanian Liberal Senator Eric Abetz, instead describing them as “most inappropriate.”
“The key point I was making was that the comment was unfortunately made on ANZAC Day. It was rapidly apologised for. And I think the response in relation to it was been seriously out of proportion to the mistake that was admittedly made,” Professor Triggs said. “My key concern has been the rising level of discrimination against Muslims in Australia and sadly, in particular, against Muslim women wearing the hijab. So that was the context in which these remarks were made.”
Professor Triggs was defending comments she made at the Melbourne Town Hall earlier this month in which she dismissed the ANZAC Day social media posts of Ms Abdel-Magied as a “relatively minor incident.”
Pressed again by crossbench Senator Derryn Hinch on her Melbourne Town Hall speech, Professor Triggs told the hearing the response to Ms Abdel-Magied had been “blown very significantly out of proportion.”
She viewed it “sadly as a reflection of the general abuse that many in the Muslim community receive” and that “this incident was illustrative of that broader point.”
Ms Triggs is due to stand down as Human Rights Commission President in July.

Yassmin Abdel-Magied, Feminism & Controlled Democracy
Posted by Corrine Barraclough on July 03, 2017
The feminist "narrative"; It is not truth, and it is not the way forward.
By Corrine Barraclough
When Yassmin Abdel-Magied posted on Anzac Day she chose seven little words very carefully. She wrote, “Lest. We. Forget. (Manus, Naura, Syria, Palestine)'”.
They were seven words that spoke volumes about respect - or lack of.
Last week, she rattled out many words on Twitter announcing her comeback into the debating arena. Of all the words she wrote in her series of tweets there is one that is vitally important to note. We should all keep it front of mind every time anyone from the ABC opens their mouth.
“If I stay silent, then ‘they’ win,” Abdel-Magied wrote on Twitter. “Then others get to define the narrative.”
There it is; the singularly most important word from this camp.
Narrative.
Considering feminists have so much to say about power and control, they certainly are obsessed with power and control, aren’t they?
Nothing rattles these obsessives more than losing control of the narrative or outside voices daring to speak the truth.
When did it become the mainstream media’s role to control the narrative at all?
When did it stop being about the role of informer and become elevated to self-appointed educator?
Who approved the script?
It is the word “narrative” that explains why director of The Red Pill, Cassie Jaye was treated so appallingly on both The Project and Sunrise.
To use Abdel-Magied’s words, “If I stay silent, then ‘they’ win. Then others get to define the narrative.”
Cassie Jaye dared to challenge the rancid feminist narrative that we’re all being force-fed. Heaven forbid ‘they’ win.
She dared to challenge the fiction that many now live and breathe as fact; that women are innocent victims and men are evil perpetrators. No, don’t dare to point out that we’re all human beings.
Of course that makes women like Cassie Jaye dangerous. She has not sat down in the allocated aisle in the theatre of power of control. Instead, she’s walked to the side, turned on the lights and revealed what’s really going on in the room.
It’s the word “narrative” that fuels the Our Watch Awards that reward journalists for sticking to the anti-men script.
Watch The Red Pill and you’ll understand how the saturating narrative peddles the three key control components of feminism: androphobia, misandry and gynocentrism.
Our government, institutions, schools and the mainstream media, have embraced all of these. This is a balance that must be addressed.
The crucial question is, which politician is strong enough to begin the process?
The anti-men narrative that Abdel-Magied, the ABC and MSM in general want to keep peddling isn’t equality, it’s not truth and it’s not the way forward.

See Yassmin Abdel-Magied is leaving for London to "partake in the Aussie rite of passage”.
I wonder if she is a follower of Jewish Susan Sontag's who wrote these prophetic words two generations ago:
" The truth is that Mozart, Pascal, Boolean algebra, Shakespeare, parliamentary government, baroque churches, Newton, the emancipation of women, Kant, Marx and Balanchine ballets don’t redeem what this particular civilization has wrought upon the world. The white race is the cancer of human history; it is the white race and it alone –its ideologies and inventions –which eradicates autonomous civilizations wherever it spreads, which has upset the ecological balance of the planet, which now threatens the very existence of of life itself. What the Mongol hordes threaten is far less frightening than the damage that Western “Faustian” man, with his idealism, his magnificent art, his sense of intellectual adventure, his world-devouring energies for conquest, has already done, and further threatens to do."
Everyone who want's to be white, it seems, bags it out.
