Post subject: Worst own goal of all time | |
|
A primary school in South Australia runs a day for charity each year. Students wear a dress to school and ask people to sponsor them with a gold coin. The money goes to provide desperately needed, life-changing education for girls in Africa.
Enter everybody's second-least-favourite nut case politician with an ill-considered tweet: "One school in SA now has 'wear a dress day'. This gender morphing is really getting absurd."
Discovering himself in a deep hole, he started digging even harder: children have been politicised and indoctrinated he claimed, encouraging boys or allowing male teachers to wear dresses on the last day of term for charity is inappropriate.
The school expected to raise $900 from wear a dress day before Senator Bestiality attacked it, maybe a bit more with any luck.
Thanks to Bernardi's truly spectacular own goal, people all over Australia have got behind the charity and the school has done a little bit better than expected. Well, quite a lot better than expected. As of ten minutes ago when I made my own donation, they were up to $250,810. Yes, that's more than a quarter of a million dollars in three days.
Awesome effort Australia! Well done all!

They were hoping to raise $900.
Enter "Corey Bernadi & the fruitloops" and voila, more than 1/4 of a million big ones raised so far for poor girls in Africa!! _________________ “I even went as far as becoming a Southern Baptist until I realised they didn’t keep ‘em under long enough” Kinky Friedman |

Have to say, I think Bernardi's biggest own goal was, as an ultra-conservative Christian, managing to get himself kicked out of Tony Abbott's ministry. _________________ All watched over by machines of loving grace |
