Pell was intellectually out of his depth, and Dawkins was surprisingly gentle with him, given his usual inability to suffer fools gladly.David Irving (no relation)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05728918405973140125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22534369.post-31827763692875955212012-04-10T09:52:01.627+10:002012-04-10T09:52:01.627+10:00The moderates would not rally around Robyn Parker....The moderates would not rally around Robyn Parker.

No longer, according to the Religious Right, should women aim for equal pay for equal work, it's back to the kitchen they should go,in between having babies and homeschooling the kids about the Bible. Or, if they must work, well they shouldn't expect to be paid too much for this independence folly they feel they have to entertain. Hmm, maybe this is another way that Tony will be able to fill his Budget Black Hole. The possibilities are endless. Women can be supported by their husbands again. No more need for separate welfare payments because he will outlaw easy divorce(which he has already pledged to do). Child care payments for married women only. Family payments for families only. $70 Billion? Easy peasy. :)HillbillySkeletonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06056151016359730712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22534369.post-81616255341462049592012-04-09T14:43:27.384+10:002012-04-09T14:43:27.384+10:00Thanks David.

It goes beyond critique and makes the politics easy to understand, and it's clear why this matters too.<br /><br />Was it a deliberate plan to release two pieces late in the long weekend? If so it worked, brain food is getting rare by this time of the holiday.David Jackmansonhttp://www.djackmanson.comnoreply@blogger.com
