As I said elsewhere about the article in question, Had potential, made some good points well but too much quartz mixed with the gold or as they say on the cooking shows, too many elements on the plate that don't work together. 6/10
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Good grief, is this still going on now. ??

Nissan withdrawing its sponsorship of the Footy Show because of Sam Newman

Great top see & quite a few years too late. Nice seeing bullies getting their comeuppance & experience the consequences of their actions.

That New Matilda article was excellent.

I didn't realise that the White Ribbon campaign was so shallowly focused and based on that very flimsy, almost Orwellian, 'language is the problem' premise.

A sadly wasted opportunity.

Funny how they wait until it's all died down to make a decision, pretty piss poor company really. Everyone expected them to not have the balls to do anything, and they proved it. They got their five minutes of promotion, and then lost their balls when it counted.

Good job, Holden.
