Why does this grease sacks opinion get to be headlines? Her wealth? Also, pretty disappointed the guardians has followed the pattern of constantly affixing “most decorated soldier” to every mention of him. Worthy commendations sure, but he’s either guilty of his charges or not.
Very poor form the guardian shading these charges with titles of the accused and the whinings of costs by a wealth hoarder.
Because under capitalist "democracy", your level of both speech and political representation is proportional to your wealth.
In capitalist democracy, wealth proportions you!
Why does this grease sacks opinion get to be headlines? Her wealth?
Correct.
And shit like this is exactly why I have been referring to them as The Giardian for a couple years now. Shitty, nauseating rubbish.
I find these reaction articles a bit odd and sometimes wonder whether they're at all helpful. None of these people are at all relevant in this context, they're just being quoted because they have power and influence and therefore generate views when they make controversial public statements. Like if Gina was sponsoring his defence or something then that would be worth writing about, but otherwise I don't give a fuck what she thinks and I don't see why anyone else would either.
You can bet your ass this parasite is trying to bring fascism into the Aussie mainstream. That's why she's saying this, and why it's being reported.
If you read between the lines Hanson also said this recently, so they're essentially right wing media mouth pieces coordinating propaganda. I bet Sky News and all of Murdochs other psyops are heavily promoting opposition to prosecuting war criminals. That's what fascists do.
She's a huge Trump fan.
Didn’t she contribute to his campaign? What a waste of oxygen.
Her pollution has killed way more people. Ben's murders don't come close. She wouldn't get it.
I'm pretty sure her old man has some dodgy history with mining leases and indigenous groups while we're complaining about the Reinharts.
They didn't earn their billions by not committing genocide, that's for damn sure.
Here's that portrait she likes:
Make sure to check them all out!
Art is great.
I personally think this portrait is rather flattering. Particularly in the context of Vincent's other works. I think she's far uglier in person.
I don't understand why you're being asked for an opinion on fucking war crimes, gina. Unless you have an expertise in that area you'd care to disclose
Because the law is the same for everyone, Gina.
The only thing more ridiculous than Gina's opinions is that stupid posh accent she puts on.
If morale in the defence force is so low, maybe we could pay them more. I know some one with more money than sense
