Dr Mariana Alves Periera talks with Alan Jones.
Gillian Triggs at the ACOSS conference in November — Subject — Truth Telling. I kid you not
Gillian Triggs will be a keynote speaker and on a panel on the subject, Truth Telling: Speaking With Conviction and Living With The Consequences.

Sorry, does that sound a bit insulting? No? Let me try again.
I reckon I can work out where you’re from just by driving behind you; half the languages in the world sound like bickering monkeys; everyone’s folk songs, dances and costumes are ridiculous; some countries have national delicacies I wouldn’t feed to my dog; even more have religious beliefs that are beyond parody. I’m not singling out any particular nationality for abuse — though you know who you are — because I’d like to catch as many members of our vibrant multicultural society as possible in my web of insults.
