Chains of command are be pulled in different directions
Christopher Erskine, is well liked & respected SC in the ACT. He can be a charming man. I met him when I was singing @ St Pauls where he has been supporting various MDs over the years. He's an amazing organist and not a bad tenor. Reflecting on the man's affirmed participation in the Anglican community has given me pause a number of times when that ( Read more... ) -

I haven't seen Balibo...
My reaction to stories of brutality is nearly always violent in intensity, though intellectual and verbal in actual manifest action. Right now, I have a show, I have exams, I have an educational institution that I'm probably going to have to sue for $16k...
