...of stuff ups made by the Abbott Government?
The government has appointed (without any recruitment process, merit considerations, interview and even without the GG approval which is the usual process) the anti Human Rights Commission advocate, Tim Wilson as the (and this is truly true) Australian Human Rights Commissioner.
In case you don't know who Wilson is, I can fill you in just a little -
- has campaigned for years to have the AHRC disbanded. And lo and behold, here he is RUNNING it. Go figure.
- right winged extremist who is obsessed with left winged so-called communist activities and thinks all Labor supporters have a communist hiding under their bed.
- Thinks that health warnings on cigarettes are "nanny state" (his favourite term) politics
- is a vehement 'free speech' advocate
- yet for some reason believes that the family and associates of bikies should not have their 'rights' infringed upon by police wishing to interview them after a crime is committed.
- Climate change talk is all a lie and the CT is a threat to our sovereignty
He is a prolific writer on all things right winged with ridiculous views. A good example is an article in the Australian last month titled: "Who's on first, gay black man or disabled Muslim woman?". The article itself isn't worth reading as it is full of garbage but I think you can get the general gist of this guys attitude from the title.
And his first published article after the appointment? Did it mention human rights for our indigenous people? Or our disabled people? Or asylum seekers being held in detention centres? Nope. He mentioned 2 specific bugbears of his - firstly, that the police have no right to interview family members of bikies and secondly, the innappropriateness of unions (an allegation only BTW) to donate to the cause of same sex marriage.
This person is now head of human rights in Australia.
