A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. <br /><br />It irks me no end that the sheeple have no interest in exploring why 12 randomly selected individuals agreed that it was not abuse. It stinks of hypocrisy and perversion of democracy to me.Ciaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05007117694321366334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38893560.post-23482263783040408462009-12-09T15:52:00.363+13:002009-12-09T15:52:00.363+13:00I've blogged on his show, and believe it to be...I've blogged on his show, and believe it to be very good.<br /><br />But his review is clearly questionable. The idea that "nothing has changed" doesn't actually sit next to "the law is working". Don't even get me started on the intent of the law, because you'd have to pick from among the various postions that Sue took (and still takes).<br /><br />In short, if the law hasn't changed anything, it isn't working - changing something was the entire point.<br /><br />The other problem is that things might be fine *now* but (as we've always said) it could easily be a few years down the track before the abuses really start. The problem *now* is that the law is going to encourage them.<br /><br />But more amusingly, isn't it funny that the Family First stories were different once all the facts were on the table? Someone needs to point out that cuts both ways - i.e. the riding crop case appeared to be violent but on close examination was rightly regarded by a jury as reasonable, and not abuse.scrubonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13832170298477290478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38893560.post-4389697106434693512009-12-08T20:54:46.465+13:002009-12-08T20:54:46.465+13:00Dont worry.
