The hypocrisy of the political and chattering class never ceases to amaze me. We have seen the spectacle of male politicians and journalists falling over themselves to condemn Trump’s language and raise themselves to ever-higher moral heights. Yet, while we cannot name names here because of defamation, you can surf the net and acquire much dirt on many leading names. It is well known in Canberra that high class call girls regularly serve the political class. None of this dirt gets out because both sides do it, but from time-to-time a pollie gets careless with payments and gets exposed.
A number of leading pollies in the past were notorious sex addicts and one is said to have died in the act. From a Christian perspective this is sinful and appalling, but is how the world is. What is more appalling though is the sham high morality of pretending to be offended by the “P” word, while Hillary Clinton’s latest Wikileaks shows that she is lying about almost everything.
Oh, and in the “bad language department, why didn’t we hear comments from outraged moral champions about the Pakistani migrant taxi driver who said that “all Australian women are sluts and deserve to be raped,” who asked female passengers if they were virgins, and “groped” the thigh of one female passenger?
Before the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal he was found not to be a “fit and proper person” to drive a taxi: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3822937/A-Pakistani-migrant-taxi-driver-declared-Australian-women-sluts-vile-rant-tribunal-hears.html. The migrant “accepted no responsibility for his misconduct” the tribunal said.
There are probably multiple cases of sexual assault here, but the chattering class is silent, as usual. Their condemnations are always selective and politically strategic.
