AUSTRALIAN OF THE YEAR... Cate McGregor said choosing David Morrison as Australian of the Year was a ‘weak, conventional choice’ CATHERINE McGregor has been forced to apologise after saying David Morrison was a “weak and conventional choice” for 2016 Australian of the Year, and he has more to learn about LGBTI issues. The Queensland finalist, who used to work for the former army chief, said she felt really sad the board of the National Australia Day Council “did not have the courage to go with an LGBTI person”. “I thought it was time ... it was a weak and conventional choice,” she told the Star Observer, a publication for the gay and lesbian community. Gen Morrison is also the former boss of a fellow finalist Catherine McGregor, who was behind his 2013 video before she went public with her transformation from male to female. He refused to accept her resignation when she went public with her transformation from male to female. After receiving the top award, Ms McGregor said Morrison “dead-named” her by calling her by her former male name and used incorrect pronouns when referring to her.  ::) But Ms McGregor does not think he meant to make the mistakes. “It shows a lack of skill on trans issues, he didn’t do intentionally … but that showed a clunkiness he needs to learn,” she told the Star Observer.

strewth...

this just goes to show how farcical the Australian of the Year is becoming..

make me Australian of the year.. I'm black

make me Australian of the year.. I'm a woman

make me Australian of the year.. I cut off me doodle

for crying out loud..  ::)

boo hoo ya stupid tranny...  :'(

They've  already used  a whinging abbo (Goodes)so they need a another minority (trannie).

You two finished your fluffing session?

bugger off McGregor!  If you had something to offer other than your confused gender ~ "......did not have the courage to go with an LGBTI person,”  I'm not surprised you came .... whatever.  I'm pissed off that you represented my State.

Does 'she' really believe that an "Australian of the Year" ought be someone whose main soap box is "I'm really a woman...even though I have a penis?"

gillard started it off... no bigger platform than the houses of parliament after all..

women are now obliged to hit back... OH GOD NOT ANOTHER MAN...

women are feeling like TOKENs 

oh well its time we picked one for this job... ::) ::) ::)

we are losing our identity....thats the way i see it?..

instead of being better we are trying to be the same..look at the language women use today... and then we pretend to be shocked when kids use it.....

In todays paper Miranda Devine is the same...I am shocked he isnt worthy.....

if men were not talking about domestic violence and or equality for women..


then what???????????

I doubt he would have been my choice.. but thats not the point ....he has done a huge service to women especially those that are in the services..

and I for one believe the defence force has a serious problem with women in the forces... a very serious problem...and hes addressing it..

if some of our invited asylum seekers were found guilty of what has gone on at Duntroon.. they would be screaming for them to be sent back wither they came.....

yet this guy isnt the right guy to be involved what the hell does he know?... ..go figure...


it makes sense to some..

Who are you talking about, cods....Morrison or McGregor?

my daughter works with an [out of the closet] gay male.. and he has gone leaps and bounds over people when it comes to applying for promotion...

he wins.. most of the time... because he screams   discrimination..he could be worthy of the promotion but no one believes he is...

employers live in fear now of this word....

its like giving aborigines the job  whether they are fitting or not...its wrong and we will reap it all later....


I do see the point you guys make I really do....it will backfire I am sure....

if you want respect you have to earn it and be worthy of it..thats what I say... and just because you dont have balls.. should not be a criteria

not for that job anyway????..

male strippers ....well what can I say.

Morrison used tax payers money to give queers, sex change operations.

He should be charged with wasting tax payers money on nonsense.

Cods daughter must be as gobby as mum , hence no promotion .

Its a one trick pony - transhender this, transgender that.  Australian of the year, in theory at least, should offer something to all australians, not just their pet tiny minority.

Yep ... you're full of it  ;)

In all honesty I don't believe Morrison deserved it either...

both he & McGregor a pair of misguided clowns.

As was said by someone earlier Morrison helped pave & pay the way for McGregor to have the transgender surgery ......

for that McGregor should be eternally grateful not have sour grapes.

The way this country is bending over(pun intended) for this whiners in the

She also told the Star Observer that Mr Morrison still had a lot to learn about lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) issues.

So?


Quote:

"He's on a steep learning curve when it comes to LGBTI and trans issues, he needs to learn a lot and rapidly," she said.

Why?

I'm more than happy to answer on their behalf given they're not online atm.

It is, IMO, a shame and a disgrace for a man to have his balls cut off and to walk around in dresses and make up.

Happy now? Good.

The problem with women in the services - if indeed there is any problem - is that they are judged purely on their capabilities.

I've met Naval officer women, my next door neighbour is a retired woman Army officer, there are countless women officers and non-commissioned ranks who do an excellent job.  The ONLY problem - if it could be called that - arises when women are considered for the nitty-gritty combat postings - postings that require specific levels of physical and mental acuity and ability..... most fall at the first hurdle in the physical stakes.

This is not discrimination, and is thus not a 'problem' - it is simple reality.  Nobody wants to go out in the boonies with someone at his/her back who simply put, cannot carry the load.

Living, as we do, in a relatively peaceful time, with the modern day equivalent of military actions against tribal groups - very much the situation in the nineteenth century - and with the advent of massive technology - we have grown accustomed to the idea that exceptional physical ability is not the yardstick by which to judge combat troops.

Nothing could be further from the truth.  It is emphatically not a Direct Combat Role to sit at a computer board and order Predator strikes..... or to sit in a CCC in a warship and direct missiles and guns.... although these are Combat Roles and carry risks.

The US Army was forced to differentiate between Combat and Direct Combat Roles - to date no woman has qualified for a Direct Combat Role, though there have been women caught up in meeting engagements and who have operated very well as medics etc in combat.

The difference is that a Combat Role can be anything from making coffee for the General of the 101st to going out in the field and interrogating prisoners or even being a guard at Abu Ghraib.  A Direct Combat Role involves trading hot lead at ten paces.. as an example... and establishing physical and fire superiority over an enemy in direct contact.

Rather different.... hence the need for a re-definition of roles.

Doodle?

driving companies & heaven forbid the ADF on an agenda of affirmative action/quotas inclusiveness & diversity for every bent imaginable because they demand it .... is in itself discrimination.

Having your kerp cut off & wearing dresses & makeup doesn't make you a hero (include Bruce Jenner) it merely makes you someone with an issue.

It doesn't matter whether it's this Morrison, McGregor or even back to Major General Peter Cosgrove ......

why do they become Australian of the Year for a job they are being/getting paid to do?
