BH our Sydney Correspondent sends this: Tim Blair of The Sydney Telegraph writes: "Leftists love forming committees almost as much as they love spending your money. Even the least consequential leftist movement inevitably produces a hellspawn of useless committees devoted to various pointless missions. Occupy Sydney, for example, featured eight committees and 11 working groups – meaning they had more committees and groups than actual Occupants.
This weekend’s March in March demonstrations, being held now because there isn’t a month called Stupid Whiny Bitching, have also generated the usual number of committees and such. So far as I can tell, these protests are driven byleftist rage over the recent lack of asylum seeker deaths and the government’s failure to provide handouts for multinational businesses. Here’s a partial committee count:
What started from very humble beginnings, almost as a thought bubble on Twitter, has grown to a large group of volunteers now being organised by a national administration committee …This committee has the support, at each march location, of a sub-committee responsible for the organisation of their march …The committee of six in Brisbane consists of a broad range of people who represent and understand the needs of many diverse community members …The National Administration Committee has ensured that all the local committees have the appropriate permits and permissions in place.
Well done, National Administrative Committee, sub-committees and committees of six. Still, they haven’t quite managed to quell the standard leftist impulse for infighting and backstabbing, probably because of not enough committees. Let’s help them out:
What committees should be added to the March in March?
