blamebramptonI really like the mother and school principal in this story! http://www.dailylife.com.au/life-and-love/parenting-and-families/my-eightyearold-daughter-just-wants-to-be-a-boy-20140308-34eth.html
And you may all judge me on this, but I confess that since I found out the Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott was hugely supportive of his friend Lt Col Cate McGregor's journey through gender reassignment, I keep thinking that he can't really be as bad as he's otherwise appeared. Julia Gillard is totally going to block me on Twitter for that …
(She wouldn't actually, because she is super lovely and would instead say, 'Well, I can see how you would find that a sympathetic quality and I can only hope that it is more representative of the way that he will manage his interactions with more people going forward.')
Finally, is it just me, or is this sign risible?
You will note that the sign also points away from the sight lines of the cyclists using the path, which is an uphill contraflow on Wilson St in Newtown. Having mocked it, I should in fairness add that it is a very useful cycle path if you're kicking up to central Newtown!

Date: 2014-03-12 12:09 am (UTC)tony abbott is a confusing person. i can't even begin to understand what he's doing. he obviously is a human person who has layers and isn't evil incarnate. but how to align that with the rest of it is beyond me.
