From this week’s coming news on politics & democracy, and international affairs

From this week’s coming news on politics & democracy: 

“PM confirms sacking of embattled home affairs boss P_______”   https://www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/2023/11/27/mike-pezzullo-sacked    In my opinion, that person has been of one the core sources of much of the wrong - and evil - we have seen in the Australian Public Service: good riddance to bad rubbish!  - see also   “Rot in the Civil Service: Farewelling M___ P_______”   https://theaimn.com/rot-in-the-civil-service-farewelling-mike-pezzullo/   &   “Home affairs secretary M___ P_______ sacked for breaching government code of conduct”   https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/nov/27/michael-pezzullo-sacked-home-affairs-secretary   “the longtime boss of Australia’s home affairs department, has been removed from the top job after an independent inquiry found he had breached the government’s code of conduct at least 14 times, including for using his power for personal benefit”  (the personal benefit actions surprised me: I dislike this person because they are the worst sort of neoliberal aka “economic rationalist” - cold hearted, inhumane, materialistic in the extreme, focused on the most small-minded interpretations of so-called national interest. Also, I have decided to not name them, as I consider they should be forgotten and consigned to the dustbin of history)   &   “M___ P_______ sacked after scathing findings accusing him of misusing his position”   https://theconversation.com/mike-pezzullo-sacked-after-scathing-findings-accusing-him-of-misusing-his-position-218592  

 

Assumptions / basis 

In writing this, I have assumed / started from the following: 

• this blog states quite clearly that it is about political and human rights matters, including lived experience of problems, and thus I will assume readers are reasonable people who have noted the content warning in the post header;

Possible flaws 

Where I can, I will try to highlight possible flaws / issues you should consider:

• there may be flawed logical arguments in the above: to find out more about such flaws and thinking generally, I recommend Brendan  Myers’ free online course “Clear and Present Thinking”; 
  
• I could be wrong - so keep your thinking caps on, and make up your own minds for yourself.

Remember: we need to be more human being rather than human doing, and all misgendering is an act of active transphobia/transmisia that puts trans+ lives at risk.
