A few clarifications
Just in case you googled yourself into my site when looking for stories about the 8 year old West-Papuan boy called Wa-Wa who supposedly is under the threat of being eaten by his tribe "in the next ten years", well, it ain't me.
I really can't speak on his behalf despite sharing the same name, and I am pretty unclear on
exactly what the circumstances exactly of his life or welfare, but I'd still like to take this opportunity to say what a fuck wit twit Naomi Robson is and that Today Tonight is the lowest form of entertainment any one would ever come across. Nevermind all the misquoting and misleading editing they do all the fucking time esp about Muslim Australians, and the numerous times she'd been caught by Media Watch for doing whatever unethical business they are doing.
Australians, BOYCOTT THIS DISGUSTING PROGRAM!! Its not "current affairs" its not even gossip, its complete tripe that is keeping bogans of this nation bogans.
Oh, poor little Naomi gets kicked out by an authoritarian terrorist tolerating model-jailing drug-mule executing government for snooping around without prior permission. I can just imagine her squeeling. Serves her bloody right.
Of all the pressing issues you can investigate in West Papua, like their ongoing independence struggle against Indonesia, asylum seekers that Australia SENT BACK to face whatever Indonesia wants to do with them, the generl impoverishment of the area, the arms and drug trade, illegal logging and HIV/AIDS coming out of their ears etc etc etc, instead you go do a story another network has already done... on CANNIBALISM?? Several anthropologists/etc experts already says its not something they practice anymore, they only do it to each other's tribes not their own etc etc, the initial report was not even investigating cannibalism to start with, bumping in the the little boy was a side thing. To sensationalise Papuans as "savages" is reenforcing the ignorant and xenophobic and neo-colonialist attitude Australians has towards anyone who's not white and speaks English. As sad as it is for any one to die and their human rigthts violated, Cannibalism is not a systematic issue. Genital mutilation, domestic violence, forced conscription is - and millions more die from this much much more frequently than isolated cases of cannibalism. For fucks sake why isn't she going around saving kids from killing themselves in refugee camps or jumping off a leaking boat.
Oh, and did any one ask her to tick against "Indonesian Values" she identifies with on the visa card before they let her in? She failed? How unjust!!

Beattie vs Greer
"Beattie adds 'stupid' to Greer backlash"
http://www.news.com.au/story/0,10117,20365256-2,00.html?from=rss
er, when did over-exaggeration of public grief take over tolerance of a sober, and reasonably formed personal opinion? Oh, I get it, state election time, and you're picking on a child-less hairy raging feminazi. Who's 'stupid' and hiding behind "politically correct clap trap" exactly?
Clive Hamilton's piece in SMH hits the spot. Death becomes an excuse to savage "elites" - now that's nasty the pollies are milking this whole Steve Irwin thing big time, don't for one minute think that they are truly "sad" for it all, except for that fact that Steve Irwin won't be buying land off them and doing the state's job of conservation instead. or to call John Howard the greatest leader alive. *chunder in the land down under*
Personally, to me its a bit like picketting at Joh Bjelke-Peterson's funeral, like, you're making a valid point but at a cheap-shot kind of timing makes it just look a little bit not that cool, but its not like Germain Greer is the one to bite her toungue on anything. What I love about Germain Greer is her guts to say what she thinks, when ever she thinks, she shocks and she challenges, she picks up a deluded population masked by spin and systematic brainwash, and shake them about and bring them to the realisty of some pretty "inconvenient truths" to coin that other bloke, and thats what takes the message home, and I fearlessly defend her just for that.
Score Board- Greer:1, Beattie:1, Freespeech: Nil.
