The following link contains an interesting story about the on-going Nova Peris debacle, but what struck me at the very outset was an opening statement in the article which stated that the writer of the original piece that Philippa Martyr is arguing against, is claimed to have been; "a former Liberal [party] advisor."
The pin then dropped as to why the Liberal party has been less than stellar regarding the ‘cultural wars’ in Australia. If any ideological organisation employs people with diametrically opposed views in positions of influence it is going to neutralise its advances. Sort of like employing a player on your footy team whose intention it is to score goals for the other side.
In war such a person would be hanged for treason, in Australia these people are celebrated as ‘whistle-blowers’:
