Maybe try using candy first? Sicko's
Second, the furor isn't about sexual abuse of children (not once you scratch the surface, anyway), it's about the lefties being furious that semi-conservative John Howard's Liberal party won last year's national election after being written off by the pinko press (which is pretty much every paper and columnist in the country).
Third, a refendum to switch Australian from a constitutional monarchy to a republic was defeated. The majority of Australians support a republic but it ended up as a three-way choice: (1) an elected president (2) an appointed president or (3) keep the Queen as the symbolic head of state. Howard wanted the queen to say and was responsible for pushing the other two options, which split the vote and saw Her Majesty carry the day.
Now, it's payback time. The thwarted republicans, multiculturalists and newsroom commissars of correct thought are using the governor general flap to beat up Howard. It's sad and pathetic -- especially when you consider that the allegedly abused "child" is now a woman 60 years old. The anglican priest who seduced her was 27 and she was 14, and they rekindled their affair many years later, even living in sin.
Doesn't sound much like what's been going in Boston when you know the details, does it? No apple-cheeked little boys in sight.
The hypocrisy becomes evven more galling when you consider that a nice lefty, secular welfare agency in Victoria has been helping kids to sniff glue in a special room they set up. Out of the lefties, hardly a peek. But a man of the cloth does a little cassock lifting back when Eisenhower was president, and it's a national disgrace etc etc etc.
Poor fella, my country!
