Anonymous commenters - please add a signature (doesn't have to be your real name) on each post of yours. Anne O'Namus, Norm D. Ploom, Angry from Kent, Demosthenes, or even your real initials, it doesn't matter.
Commenters are expected to be polite to each other, but the same standard doesn't apply to comments regarding me.
Australian commenters are very very strongly advised to publish anonymously. Sydney alone has more defamation actions than the entire USA and UK. Nearly double that of the UK in fact.
As Google does not reliably inform me that a comment has been posted, and I have no control over first publication, I assert that all comments are innocently disseminated under the NSW DEFAMATION ACT 2005 - SECT 32 and similar acts.
It's good news isn't it Zoe!
ReplyDeleteBut what's this I hear about the Federat Attorney-General backtracking on the inclusion of Intersex people in federal anti-discrimination legislation?
Can I just clarify that I haven't read the report as yet, and my initial response was in response to an article that I read in the Canberra Times yesterday.

I've only just been made aware that this report has created a "third sex" for Intersex people, something that my initial response was not addressing.
