Janelle Saffin Article in Daily Telegraph!
I thought that anybody interested in the upcoming Federal election would like to read a very strong article about Janelle Saffin, the ALP candidate in our local electorate of Page. The article was written by Piers Ackerman.
One of these litter lines leads to militant feminist Janelle Saffin, the endorsed ALP candidate for Page on the NSW North Coast, a seat which was held by National Ian Causley, a former State Minister, who hopes to be succeeded by National candidate Chris Gulaptis, a local mayor.
In May last year, taxpayer-funded NGO Australian Legal Resources International (ALRI) went into administration leaving taxpayers tens of thousands of dollars out of pocket.
ALRI was headed by the disgraced former federal court judge Marcus Einfeld, but while he may have been in the driver’s seat on this occasion, Saffin was one of the directors, and the collapse left taxpayers $120,000 in the red.
According to reports in The Sydney Morning Herald and The Australian, Einfeld was one of a number of voters at a creditors’ meeting in May 2006, who backed a plan to destroy the company’s records.
Saffin’s penchant for helping Left-wing causes is no flash-in-the-pan whim.
When she was in the Upper House, she provided a part-time position for civil rights activist Cameron Murphy, now with the NSW Council for Civil Liberties, and busily complaining to the UN about the fact that prisoners in NSW’s Supermax high security prison have trouble getting paintbrushs, are given ill-fitting underwear, asked to eat brown bread against their wishes, and are even told to say please and thank you.
When he was in Saffin’s office, he was the driving force behind a website designed to let drug users know where police sniffer dogs might be assisting police drive down drug crime and save lives.

Wake UP! This Piers Ackerman litter is nitpicking against a single supply of estrogen.
The problems of society are found elsewhere. Male group-psychology in sport, business, religion and politics contributes to 99% of the world’s problems and 1% of the solutions. From the writer to the perpetrators, everything about this article indicates testosterne-driven XY brains in hierarchy-forming mode.
There is an observation that might be raised for more useful discussion of ethics in community decision-making. Try: EVERY atrocity against Humankind (including its resources, environment, neglect and peril) is due to Men-folk making decisions without equal representation of their Women-folk.
There are some pre-conditions that impair women, peace, ethics, caution etc etc
1. TESTOSTERONE – androgens are dominant, natural and freely circulating in the blood stream
2. XY BRAIN - a collection of neurons each containing an ‘X’ and a ‘Y’ chromosome
3. XY GROUP POLARISATION – many deliberations dominated by XY brains
Your thrust for discussion perhaps could be: How will male Faiths and Authority systems deal with 3500 years of appalling decision making?
One answer worth discussion by women (at least) is Reserved Gender Representation in the executives of politics/governance, industry/economics and Belief/Faith systems.

PS. Research for yourself Group Polarisation and male-group psychology before you attempt a Zeno paradox to solve any political nitpick. Make sure all the evidence fits your logic against estrogen/female decision-making. Three million years of primate evolution has produced an estrogen driven XX brain that does NOT commission their menfolk of this hominid to design, manufacture and distribute weapons of mass destruction. ‘Ethics’ - what is your understanding of the word?
