You're still fixated on this validity argument that you've made up yourself. I think that since you've come up with it in your own head then you'll have to answer it yourself too.

That's not how it works. You pointed out his hypocrisy and then dragged a thread in to it that's so old it's still celebrating Obama's inaugaration, I questioned this and pointed out that the thread is irrelevant due to its age. Yet you still kept harping on about it and still refuse to admit that his criticisms of this thread are perfectly justifiable.

Why?

I don't think that she should do jail time but it does seem a wee bit strange that an Egyptian actress would have thought that a dress of that sort would pass without comment in Egypt - where the ostensibly secular military overthrew an elected Islamist president in 2013.

It was the last thread he's posted in GD, it came up in a rather quick search history... i.e. he's not created many threads in GD recently and when he last did he created a rather lame one about seeing a spider in his house ergo I think he's being a bit hypocritical. I think we've been over this a few times now.

Why?

You keep quoting me, I'm not harping on - you literally keep quoting me to ask questions and I'm merely responding.

But why?

Again, something for you to answer - you're the one quoting me and asking questions only you know why you're doing it.

No, I'm asking you why you keep responding.

Well generally if someone quotes me to ask a question or wants some clarification about something I've posted then I'm happy to reply to them.

Nope, I mean you’re literally asking questions and in doing so you’re inviting a response.

@dowie @Diddums - there are many instant message apps or email for discussions like this. Those discussions where you're both flogging your own dead horse, the music's stopped and the crowd are just looking on awkwardly, shifting from foot to foot, hoping for it to stop soon.

True

'Patricia Karvelas should not have been thrown out of Question Time for baring arms, Speaker says.'

The government has now apologised to her.

It would be difficult for them not to do so without ejecting Julie Bishop MP . . .

The dress standards dictate what MPs, their staff, members of the media and visitors to the public gallery can wear.

Well yes, I did allude to this earlier in the thread.

Guys, you spent 4 pages of talking back to Diddums who totally derailed the topic with nonsense.

Zatoichi.uK · 4 Dec 2018 at 11:49

Well it is mid summer in Australia at the moment. But yeah, too vague a dress code. If you want to enforce something be specific.

Was it ONLY four pages?
Well I never.

For any people still thinking 'patriarchy' and or 'misogyny' were significant factors here....

Witness this tweet from the guardians Australian politics and economic correspondent.

The rules need to be more prescriptive for women and more uniformly enforced if they are to remain at all.

Err you would get kicked out of a lot of places for wearing that where the dress code specifies no short sleeved shirts.

At least if you're a bloke. Women have always got away with murder at work when it comes to attire.

Well the dress code it seems is vague as often is for women in work places, it details what men need to wear but not women.
