Quite a lot to comment on but the thing that really surprised me was that an educational establishment didn’t know that ‘ Chief’ is a European word taken from the French ‘chef’ meaning person in charge. What American Indians called their leaders I don’t know but it wasn’t Chief. Loved the fighting kangaroo, take on a roo and suffer the consequences!!
You suggested course for ABC staffers is brilliant. Reminds me of the old RAAF Joke about pilots reporting that the IFF (secondary radar) did not work in the OFF mode. Nobody seems able to find that setting any more… seems to me we have too few synapsing neurons.
‘Brave’. You’re gonna get in big trouble appropriating language like that 😉
But seriously, do these folks actually believe American Indians created or own the word ‘chief’? These wokesters might want to look into the Latin origins before attributing those origins to somewhere they don’t belong.
Oh boy oh boy James could I inspire you with the deeds of diverse ministers or not? Yes not. Some of our female ministers are also ethnics but diversity seems to breed contempt. Yes contempt of the taxpayer while they lazily collect their salary or just plain stuff the place up with incompetence. We started this but you guys have set it in stone. However our new foreign minister Wong I think her name is has certainly made her mark here in NZ

Doh! Love prizes! 😁
To the staff from channel 2, pretend you're watching late night SBS, problem solved.
That was very BRAVE of you today
Glad sanity extends to Saturday 😉
