It is believed that Peta Credlin has been proposed, by Tony Abbott to Malcolm Turnbull, for the position of Australia’s new sex discrimination commissioner. Now, I know what you’re all thinking, and yes, this is a little ironic considering the content of this suggestion – “Given that the position has been vacant for the last 5 months, Why should the government double up on a role which the private sector is already fulfilling so well?”
I have been a regular advocate of the free market on The XYZ. Logically, the free market should be able to label all men as potential rapists oops my finger slipped I mean identify instances of sexual discrimination far more efficiently than a government appointee. Particularly as there is so much competition – the AFL, the Melbourne Renegades, The ANZ (seriously, have you seen their latest ads?) are all finding new, proactive and creative ways to make men hate themselves oops sorry my finger slipped I mean stamp out instances of sexual discrimination that could never have occurred if it had been left to a slow moving, bureaucratic government appointee.
Australians should be proud that even without a sex discrimination commissioner, we were able to treat Chris Gayle so badly for a couple of corny lines to a female reporter that it will be years before black cricketers dare show their faces in our country again. Wait, that didn’t come out right, I mean, can we edit that bit out?
Furthermore the government should consider whether the positions of sex discrimination commissioner and Australian of the Year are double-handling the responsibility to convince young men that they are merely defective women oops my finger slipped I mean eliminate instances of sexual discrimination.. At the very least, the two positions could be amalgamated.
Finally, although Miss Credlin (see what I did there) is undoubtedly competent, and undoubtedly the victim of sexual discrimination, at the hands of the witch-hunt (see what I did there) conducted by a hypocritical left wing media and political insiders, she has quite wisely stated that she would prefer to work in the private sector. So in the future, those wishing to obscure the reality of domestic violence against men to the point of criminal negligence, should look to the private sector, not the government.
See what I did there..
Call for Credlin to be sexism spotter
