That's right. Right-wing News Corp. has fired former Labour Party leader Mark Latham because of his refusal to accommodate feminist viewpoints in his reporting. This is someone who saw the left in Australia as stagnating in refusing to adapt to the times as proven by a book he wrote over 10 years ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Latham_Diaries

...so in the course of adapting, News Corp. decided to reject his adaptation and succumb to its own subversion. Way to go guys.

Oh God are we going to be arguing about the HR practices of random companies now?

Left or right doesn't matter. If he was hurting the bottom line he goes, ideology be damned.

As Mike said this is about business not politics. Private enterprises do what makes money. If hating women losses a company customers then the company will be opposed to it, not because on any inherent feminism but due to a love of profit. Misogynists will have to get used to this, half of all consumers are women, it does not make business sense to shit on half of your potential clients.

[AFAIK]

I wonder if Mr Latham, during his tenure as party leader, ever punished junior party members for straying from the party line?
