Except my issue wasn't whether he was sacked by Pauline or not. It was why the hell some foreign news media has brought it to our attention in the first place, and while Dickson may be a dickhead, he's hardly alone in the long list of dickheads in politics. Some are just able to get away with it, depending on which "side" they bat for. :roll:
Nothing to do with "sides". It is all to do with "natural justice". Dickson damned himself out of his own mouth with his own antics. Pauline decided that enough, was enough and sacked him. It is one of the few good decisions she has ever made IMO. In the light of the #MeToo movement, it's not surprising that he was sacked. He had simply gone one step too far.
"Natural justice" apparently doesn't apply if you are liberal or labour, or kissing the arse of either party.

Natural justice does apply to members of either party, Reboot. You're entitled to your opinion, even if it is wrong. Natural justice is why party members who are accused of something are investigated to see if they have committed whatever sin/crime they are accused of. If it is as public as Dickson's little effort is, they get the sack. Jessica Whelan is presently facing that at the moment in Tasmania because of her Islamophobic comments.

Are the Tories wrong for doing that? I don't believe so. Just as they've also chopped other candidates for similar divisive comments.

I rather think they have been trying to commit political suicide, Mechie. Afterall, it was no one else who made them go to the US in search of NRA money. Talking about a willingness to sell your own country out to the highest bidder... :roll:
