If I do get a reply it's so patronising or obviously unhelpful that I have to ask him to ask them for me. Sure enough he'd get the reply and I wouldn't, he now believes me and agrees it's messed up. I have a colleague who I have to use as a proxy to talk to them, he used to say I was overreacting or that maybe I wasn't asking the question in the right way until I told him to test it with me and we'd ask the exact same thing. Some of my colleagues outright do not listen to me. I'm not out at work but I get the whole misogynistic package: Inappropriate sexual comments (some of which are literally rape scenarios which is fucked up because I experienced CSA, but nobody knows that so I just endure it), constantly talked over or talked down to, relied upon for emotional labor, unspoken assumption I'll do the typical 'feminine jobs'.I washed up everyone's dirty cups once and now that's "my job". I read it during the council election campaign here in Queensland in 2008, and it was just like reading the daily newspaper.100% and I am a loud talker and I speak up for myself a lot. It describes the rise and fall of Cicero through the eyes of his slave Tiro - you know, the one who bought us shorthand - and who assiduously made notes at all his meetings. If you want an idea of how nothing has changed read the novel Imperium by British author and historian Robert Harris.
“ Veni, vidi, sensi” (yesterday). The Romans did have elections at a number of levels and in particular had a type of local council system where officials were elected, not appointed. I would invite you to consider the outcry if the questioner had been Muslim, and Rundle called them a “Muhammad freak” or similar term.īeryce Nelson writes: Re. It not only insults the audience member but by association insults other Christians who share the same views. It is not fine for him to use abusive language. It is fine for Rundle to disagree with that view. I appreciate the article is a straight talking analysis of the Rudd election campaign, but this is personally insulting to a member of the general community who shares a view that is consistent with traditional Christian teaching. However, I would like to lodge a complaint about Guy Rundle’s recent article, in which he refers to a member of the Q&A audience as a “convenient Jesus-freak doofus”. “ Cut and run from Brisbane while calling out Abbott” (yesterday). Usually enjoy reading Crikey and appreciate its robust approach to news and current affairs. So please call it as it really is: just business as usual for the world’s biggest and most accomplished, self-righteous and hypocritical thug.Īndrew Reid writes: Re. Of course chemical weapons are horrible has everyone forgotten about the fuel-air explosive, white phosphorus and napalm, regularly deployed by Western politicians on their foreign adventures? Has history’s page really turned on our efforts to soak North Vietnam with the toxic Agent Orange, annihilate the populace of Fallujah with white phosphorous or contaminate the entire country of Iraq with radioactive depleted uranium?Īnd certainly no embarrassing reference to the French, British and American governments who profit by peddling their toxic capabilities to governments the world over. No embarrassing reminders about our “special friend”’s fondness for secret prisons, extraordinary rendition, torture, extrajudicial killing on an industrial scale, capital punishment, Orwellian surveillance or cluster munitions.
