Okay, this is a shoutout to Christopher Pyne, and/or the staffer who he has assigned to read this forum for policy ideas (lol).

I demand that you show some sign at your next press conference or parliament debate that indicates that you do indeed read this forum.

You probably already know what sign we need to confirm it.

I'll be waiting.

The main criticism in that article is that this report somehow damages Australia on the world stage.

Last time I checked the world stage doesn't get a vote in Australian federal elections.

Also, much of the talk about this report is about "independence". To be honest that doesn't carry much weight with many people.
OK so he's now gone for A/ Only two more gang! Fingers crossed :pray:

There is a good chance I know who this is - he doesn't work for Pyne anymore, he even quit the Liberal Party to temporarily join the Greens. Just never mention the n-word around him - nuclear, he is a rabid supporter.

I can't quite parse your argument here.

I'm not sure how you see the main criticism as "it damages Australia on the national stage" and not as "Australia is found to be torturing people". Yes, the world doesn't vote on our elections, but we're torturing people.

The article mentions independence once, and a UN appointed investigator of human rights who was himself tortured is not a good judge of what is and isn't torture? What does this mean that "it doesn't carry much weight with people". Vaccinations don't carry much weight with many people, that doesn't change what it is.

I see what you mean in why would he react in any other way, but it doesn't make his reaction any less loving despicable.

OK, I'll put it another way.

Most people don't give a crap what the UN says and probably regard said report as a bit of an academic wank.
