I just watched the excellent three-part Australian documentary series “The Killing Season” about leadership challenges in the Australian Labor Party 2007-2013.
Former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd kept using the word “betrayal” to describe his deputy taking his job.
It’s a shame that Kevin does not read my blog. There’s no such thing as betrayal. That’s simply a hyperbolic term we use when other people don’t have the priorities we expect. Julia Gillard did not betray Kevin Rudd, she simply chose other priorities above Kevin Rudd.
Nothing is personal. People never do anything that we can’t find an equivalent in our own dark heart.
The sacred parts of the doco are anything to do with racism and sexism. These are shown as heinous sins.
In a sane society, diluting your country’s identity and acting against its cohesion would be regarded as heinous sins.
