Mel and Michael are not “shock jocks” those are people such as the outstanding bigots of Australia – those such as John Laws, Steve Price and the ultimate piece of ….. Alan Jones.  These are the ones who spread prejudice, hatred and disharmony for their own benefit.

As any mental health worker or mentally ill person can tell you, it is highly unlikely that Mel and Michael caused the nurse to commit suicide.  At worst, their actions may have been a trigger but in all probability that trigger was her being thrown to the wolves by the hospital management ( a common occurrence by hospital executives and the bullying and prejudice she almost certainly received as part of nursing and hospital culture but also because she was Indian.

Even if, her reaction was a direct result of the phone call, it cannot be blamed on Mel and Michael but should be layed fairly and squarely at the feet of the mindless worship of an anachronistic and parasitic monarchy which has no place in 21st Centry society.  That fact is that this incident would proably have gone virtually unremarked if “royals” had not been involved.

It’s time we got the facts straight and supported these two.  At worst they are guilty of following a trend in daytime radio of playing pranks and they have nothing whatsoever to berate themselves for.

I am just as empathetic to the sadness felt by the family and the tragedy of the nurse’s suicide but 24000 children DIE EACH DAY in the developing world, of starvation euphemistically called “malnutrition” – Malnutrition?  I’ll say.  It’s like calling suicide an unfortunate onset of illogical thinking that resulted in fatal consequences.

The Australian Government should get some guts and tell the Poms to butt out and stick their potential legslation and charges up their arse.  And, at the same time and before we get another prime minister with the IQ of a fencepost and even less comassion, let’s get rid of Queenie and make this country a republic – it is long past time.
