And the winner of Liberty Victoria’s 2017 award for freedom of speech is …… Gillian Triggs!
Triggs said she was “honoured” to receive the award and congratulated the other winners in a statement that referenced the controversy over section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act, which the government attempted to water down.
Equivalent to giving Saudi Arabia the feminist human rights award
Triggs, who has been consistently criticised by the Abbott and Turnbull governments for her condemnation of Australia’s treatment of refugees, was named the 2017 recipient of the Voltaire award by Liberty Victoria on Tuesday for her “courageous stand on people’s rights”. (Her people would not be the Australian people.)
How perverse. How fucking perverse! *&^%$#@!

Australian universities, where mendacity meets mediocrity

Did you know that our “genocidal history” is even worse than that of Nazi Germany? Come as a surprise, does it? If that it happens to be the case there is a safe assumption to be made: you haven’t been studying at one of our Australian university where mendacity meets mediocrity
Choose the West and avoid cultural cowardice, Abbott urges
Abdel-Magied: “an over-promoted, politically correct 26-year-old”.

Tony Abbott has urged his Liberal Party colleagues to place themselves “firmly on the side of Western civilisation”, as he said Yassmin Abdel-Magied’s Anzac Day Facebook post reflected a “cultural cowardice” that had infiltrated our institutions.
The former prime minister said voters were not happy with their political leaders and the “gulf between insiders and outsiders” was as big as ever, but embracing Western values would “help” the party.
Unlike a speech he made in February in which he declared the Coalition was at risk of a “drift to defeat”, Mr Abbott’s address to the West Australian Liberal Party tonight was largely free of criticisms of the Turnbull government.
Mr Abbott praised Malcolm Turnbull’s recent emphasis on Australian values in the proposed new citizenship test and the government’s push to remove the words “offend” and “insult” from section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act.
“The modern world is unimaginable without the legacy of Western civilisation,” Mr Abbott said.
