Political correctness has reached new heights, but at what cost? In ‘The Court Of Public Opinion’, Jeremy Cordeaux talks about recent revelations about a Gay Pride event hosted at the Australian Embassy in Washington have sparked outrage. With expenses surpassing $30,000, including a $4,000 fee for an imported drag queen, Australians are asking—was this really necessary?
The Price of Pride
The event, orchestrated by Ambassador Kevin Rudd, included extravagant expenditures on balloons, flights, and entertainment. But why was an Australian drag queen flown in at great expense when local talent was available? This raises questions about government spending and priorities.
Public Reaction
Australians are divided. Some see it as a celebration of diversity, while others view it as an unnecessary use of taxpayer dollars. As Cordeaux puts it, “Is this reasonable?” The debate continues, but one thing is clear—this story isn’t going away anytime soon.
With the federal election approaching, this incident could become a focal point of public discussion. Stay tuned as we continue to uncover the implications of this costly event.
