Highly lauded for allowing women to have it all, the free offer to freeze eggs for female employees is not good policy. The trade off for the free policy is to give up hard won rights like flexible working hours, working from home and maternity leave. The cost to women is substantial with prime years for child bearing sacrificed for poor ones and no hope for raising a family without substantial medical intervention. Women who become used to work routines have to work very hard to family ones. Even so, it is unthinkable a union would oppose this bad policy, and sadly Christian Churches will also likely be too impressed with the progressive badge.

Sad to report the Bolt Report Supporters Group is besieged by a cadre of ADL followers. The ADL and Australian Tea Party are brothers with the EDL in UK and ADL (American Defence League) in the US. They have fostered right wing terrorism around the world and are known for brawling, marching and threatening minorities. Often ADL members are former soldiers and police security types who join a club in transitioning to public life. A person is not bad for being a member, but the bigotry and bad behaviour should raise flags for reasonable people. The Bolt Report Supporters page was founded by the ADL with a view to attracting conservatives who supported journalist Andrew Bolt. Part of the activity that admins of this page will not accept was to produce numerous pointers and links to ADL and EDL pages which typically spread anti Muslim hate. In the past, they spread anti Jew hate too. They are directly linked to the British Nationalist Party and neo Nazis. They might argue they have grown, and no longer seek a final solution to Zionists but just want to preserve a nationalist identity, but a good person would not accept that. Many ADL types are tasked to cause trouble for any page that does not toe their line. So it will be the case that there will be many such people on and off this site will claim they feel hard done by by the administration carrying out their duties. They will claim they have been unfairly booted and they will claim they have been denied freedom of speech. They also claim not to know about ADL. One way to spot them is to note they hate a lot. They hate Muslims and cannot distinguish between a Muslim and a terrorist that is Islamo Fascist. They worry about women's clothing a lot. They oppose male circumcision because they link it to female genital mutilation. You might befriend such a person, but they will never be your friend. They might want to use your account on FB.

Bolt Report was not on today or last year owing to sport. So Insiders was on. Insiders is an ABC program that is terribly biased to the left. Today, Nikki Savva provided a balanced viewpoint while Laura Tingle, David Marr and Barrie Cassidy openly promoted left wing propaganda. Tingle, on the issue of Australia sending health workers to Africa to combat Ebola, said she didn't understand the government policy and felt it was wrong. But she can't have it both ways. Either Tingle understands it and it is wrong, or Tingle does not understand it and so the policy might be very good. To be fair to Tingle, she understands the policy well, but doesn't want the ALP to look bad for opposing it. The government policy in Australia is clear, that Africa is not a near neighbour but gets sufficient aid from others better catered to it than Australia. Were Australia to send aid workers, she would not be able to guarantee that they could be returned in an emergency. That would be irresponsible. ALP are claiming that Australia should be irresponsible. The ALP also thought that drowning desperate people was compassionate. David Marr says it is bad that Australia has stopped drowning desperate people for compassion and that there are now people left stranded in Indonesia as a result, people that will not be drowned. Marr views that as illegal and immoral. Meanwhile Cassidy is still confused about shirt fronting between Mr Abbott and Mr Putin. Mr Abbott has promised to address the issue of MH17 with Mr Putin. Cassidy thinks that means Mr Abbott will tackle Mr Putin in an unscheduled game of AFL.

Political Promises
Rob Oakeshott is wrong in his criticism of Australia's response to Ebola. He needs to apologise for being stupid. He claims that the world only cared after a man died in Texas. In fact, world leaders, including Mr Abbott, had spoken out weeks earlier. But such facts mean little to one who is stupid. Obama has promised much regarding Ebola and health care in the US. His promises are far less valuable than his borrowings from US children. The US is suffering from bad policy. Meanwhile in Australia a compassionate immigration policy seems to be exposing Australians to brutal violence far beyond the norm.
