I thought of that thread, David, but what he peddles is not even psychobabble... If it's true and there is a backlash, we can only hope it is Carlton...

My guess is Carlton.

Apparently Chris Judd is a big fan of his.
This is a good idea.
A 3 hour discourse on the story of Genesis is exactly what Carlton need going into 2019.

A bit off topic: I'm looking at this Fortnite streaming video [imbedded in the article below] that captured an altercation between a gamer and his wife. It's really only audio. You don't see him slapping his wife, though you hear a lot.

https://www.theage.com.au/national/nsw/ ... 50lyg.html

Police charged him. He lost his Telstra job. I'm wondering what you think about that, David? I guess you think Telstra should butt out. [Oh, I see it says "suspended", not "sacked". 'Telstra general manager media Steve Carey said the alleged assault "goes against what we stand for as an organisation..." ']

The media have gone to town. Pictures of him in bed trying to avoid them...
I'm going to respond to that in the thread below, K, as I feel it's a bit off-topic in this thread.

Thanks, David. I looked for a better thread, but the ones that came up were e.g. "domestic violence deaths". If you quote it, I can edit/delete the above post. (I was watching it while reading this thread.)

The guy has apparently been charged with assault. It would be standard practice for an employer to suspend a person (with pay) in these situations, pending the results of the case.

Suspension in employment law is not deemed a penalty.

When she shows up for a cervical smear, can they do a prostate test instead?

I think you may need to read the (admittedly, extremely poorly written) piece again.
