The president of the Human Rights Commission, Gillian Triggs, has hit back after an extraordinary attack by Malcolm Turnbull, accusing the Prime Minister of not being briefed and misunderstanding how the organisation operates.

love...

I was going to do a toon on Trump the idiot versus the mad lying Hillary woman. But I thought everything has been said and the future will be bleak for someone in the world, whether one or the other becomes the president of the United States. As they say : "give me a gun and I will learn hatred..." But here we had a beautiful romance on which to gamble our hopes for a better future. We could believe that the rich could cut it with true love... Unfortunately, the price of the prenups was too ridiculously low. In some tribal customs, one would say, there was not enough goats or camels on offer... For either of them the gamble of love was not worth it? Very sad...

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull says the Government values the advice it receives, despite multiple recent disagreements between ministers and senior public servants.

It’s hardly President of the Human Rights Commission Gillian Triggs’ fault when the Australian government is the worst human rights offender that Commission has to deal with.
