Reference :- Many times , Sky News has vilified environmental activists who encourage boycotts of companies they consider irresponsible . But now , both Peta Credlin and Andy Bolt have promoted their own boycotts .
Hello there Andy and Peta . I guess you are promoting boycotts just to see what it feels like before Mr Morrison brings in more laws to make them illegal . How does it feel ? It might be like climbing Uluru before that was banned . You might have never done it at all , but for the realisation that this could be the last chance .
Anyway , as a fellow boycotter , let me congratulate you . Peta , I quite like your suggested boycotting of Westpac . What a pack of creeps . They deserve no better . Can you see now the value of having such freedoms ? Freedoms you would deny others , whose opinions differ from yours . And Andy , did you enjoy damaging the business of Qantas ( read the comments from your cult of followers ) , as punishment for revealing they believe in climate change ? It feels good doesn't it ? Be aware , however , that your right to do that is on Mr Morrison's chopping block , a fact that has even caused a stir among journalists in other countries . Mr Morrison appears to know as much about the law as your typical orpington , so it may not happen . But stay alert . You wouldn't want to be dragged away by the federal police right in the middle of one of your episodes of " opinion you can trust ". I have reproduced below a famous quote , from German Pastor Martin Niemoller , to illustrate my point . The good Pastor , though not a Hillsong clapper , felt guilty after the second world war for not speaking out as Hitler rose to power .
First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because i was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I am not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I am not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I am not a Jew .
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me .
My son , Ken junior , reckons you may as well just go boycott crazy while you can . If you are short of things you want to boycott , he has quiet a few suggestions. For starters he reckons the telephone companies are ripping us off and deserve a thorough boycotting . He says , imagine the impact on their bottom line if everybody decided to stop using their phones for a day every week ?
Also , do you think you could run a boycott of craft beers ? Ken junior reckons they all taste like carbonated aftershave and a schooner costs as much as a six pack of the drinkable stuff . There are limitless options . Feel free to be in contact . Happy boycotting .
Your comrade , Ken
