Sam Newman at it again!

And where exactly is the "appropriate forum" for these types of discussions ? The footnotes of the Hansard ? The graveyard shift of some community radio station with 3 listeners ?

In the newspapers, on social media, yes in talkback radio and on current affairs television, like ever other major issue!

Extremes. I don't see victims of the numerous other crimes being offered a fee to relate their stories and thank the crowds for their support at AFL games. Carlton Respects is one game a year, is that somehow less of an issue, why not every pre-game? The Jane McGrath Foundation gets one cricket match a year, is breast cancer less important than a Welcome to Country. Why, are women too numerous and therefore fail minority status?

If you want to take this debate to extremes [member=64]PaulP[/member] , I doubt you be able to restrict the frame of reference to fat white fellas!
