No, as you well know, what you site as sexual harrassment, makes you a feminazi! If the cap fits wear it.
So you equate me as being a "feminazi" because I view being harassed on the street, at work, going about my day to day life as being sexual harassment?
Tell me, do you know the history of the term "feminazi"? I mean, you seem to be embracing far right wing rhetoric lately, do you understand the history of that term?
And do you equate feminists with Nazi's? And I want you to try to really think about that one and what it all entails.
Put simply, it is a fairly offensive term and I would prefer if you did not refer to me that way.
The majority of the rest of your rant is again what you seem to personally determine, and want the world and this forum to bow before your highness
What ranting? I am stating fact. My previous post was to provide you with historical fact. It seems your knowledge and understanding of history, particularly the political and economic history of Australia is quite woeful.
The emotional garbage that generally is filling all your posts and the suggestion that a wolf whistle is sexual harrassment.
Again, what "emotional garbage"? I am providing you with
facts.
Just because you are a sensitive snowflake and cannot cope with reading what women experience without resorting to abuse to avoid it is not my problem. If your sole intent is to troll and basically act like a flaming idiot because you want to shut the discussion down because you want to reserve the right to continue to sexually harass women, then I'd suggest you go and find a thread that will be less upsetting for you.
Wrong again. The Petro-Chemical industry was the first to achieve it and then the Chemical Industry next, both in the seventies. I was working in the Chemical Industry with ICI and was a delegate. Then the AMWU as a whole, and Australia wide, made it a general condition in working place agreements in 1980.
Please take a moment and read what I said again. Pay particular attention to the word "average". And try to apply it correctly. Go on. Try.
In 1980, in the majority of industries, workers still worked 40 hour weeks.
The rest of your rant about Australia's greatest PM is just that...a rant.
I would consider Paul Keating as being Australia's greatest PM. Whitlam completely and utterly failed to adapt to the changing global economy, the monetary costs of the Vietnam war, the global slump. Like the Liberal Goverment that came before him, he applied the Keynesian system of governance, to disastrous effect. Instead of slowing down government spending, he increased spending. By the end of 1974, Australia was nearly broke, the previous surplus was gone (due to an excessive amount of spending), unemployment skyrocketed (which took decades to recover from and frankly, we still haven't recovered from it). To compensate, Whitlam then basically went back on his earlier policies and slashed funding, leaving lower and working class struggling (many became unemployed and his slashing funding resulted in widespread suffering), they lost their jobs, homes, had little to no recourse, he then instituted university fees, which did not benefit Australia economically and essentially resulted in many being denied the right or ability to attend university..
That is why there were so many strikes. Economically, Whitlam ruined Australia. And I mean that literally. We are still recovering from his spending. He increased Government spending by like what? 40% or something? When the country could not afford it, which caused even worse inflation, caused even greater loss of employment, wages weren't rising to meet inflation, people suffered. There is a reason why the gap between the have's and have not's is so wide and it started with Whitlam. There is this idolatry surrounding Whitlam, even still to this day, but the reality is vastly different to how people choose to remember him. His taking money from Saddam Hussein for his election (which resulted in many of his front bencher's resigning in disgust), is dismal foreign policy record...
He was also xenophobic, demanded that Vietnamese people not be allowed to enter Australia, even those who helped Australian soldiers during the war and were left to die or torture when Australia withdrew, despite all attempts by members of his own government and the opposition to save as many as they could. His stance was repulsive in the extreme. His crowning achievement was his giving Indigenous Australians some of their land rights and instituting policies that recognised their fundamental human rights. For that, he should be recognised as being a great. But economically? He was a disaster.
There is a reason why Whitlam lost the next election by one of the biggest landslides in Australia's political history. And it wasn't because he was Australia's greatest PM or because he and his party were removed from power. It was because he was one of the worst.
And that isn't a rant, that is historical fact. Remove the rose coloured glasses, paddoboy. Stop being so selective about Australian history.
Again your reading comprehension skills seem faulty. I mentioned the BLF, remember? and said sections of the union movement, Even the most radical unions today recognise that fact.
And you still fail to understand why Whitlam's popularity plummeted across the board..
Wrong again...Are you having trouble reading? It was the elderly lady the former magestrate who equated it.
Magistrate.
Secondly, you seem to agree with her. And I do not know of a single person who would compare or equate the two. Then again, I tend to not hang around with people who demand that their right to sexually harass women on the street be protected, sooo... Let me guess, she's like Pat O'Shane who has a history of disbelieving rape victims and once declared that victims of a gang rape should be held responsible for their supposed actions or behaviour prior to being gang raped...
I mean, to even suggest that the fight for women's fundamental human rights is akin to the union movement in Australia in the 1970's.. As I said, I do not know a single person who would make such a comparison, but again, I tend to not associate with people who throw down for sexual harassment of women.
Have fun Bells...And take a disprin and have a good lay down...you might have a coronary pushing such nonsense so fanatically.
A disprin?
I'd suggest you go and have a sit down with some history books. And get a clue.
