AVN President Greg Beattie bullshits directly into a camera. Doesn’t even flinch.

Today Tonight interviewed Senator Richard Di Natale and anti-vaccination pressure group president, Greg Beattie, tonight. I don’t know why, but, here goes.

Greg Beattie stated this, directly into the camera:

…a small group has tried to destroy us by spreading stories and Di Natale has swallowed them hook, line, and sinker. Not a word he has said about us was true… [ed: that’s “Senator” Di Natale to you, clownshoes]

For the record the AVN has never engaged in harassing any grieving family whatsoever , that’s nothing but slander…

Here is the segment*:

________________________________

Remember what Beattie said: “For the record the AVN has never engaged in harassing any grieving family whatsoever…”

Sorry? The AVN has never done these things? Then what’s this?

AVN member Andrew MacDonald:

At the AVN it is acceptable to harass a grieving family.

AVN leader (former president) Meryl Dorey:

“Supposedly”

“I never have and never will harass or hurt a grieving parent” – Meryl Dorey

Meryl Dorey: staying callous since 1997

Australian Vaccination Network still vilifying grieving parents

Meryl Dorey now states that contacting grieving families is appropriate

Meryl Dorey: when is repeating a lie about a grieving family okay?

Meryl Dorey mocking death: claims chicken pox was never considered deadly

AVN supporter Judy Wilyman, with Dorey:

Judy Wilyman and Meryl Dorey: as low as it goes

Judy Wilyman’s unending distortions about a grieving family

AVN member, and former AVN committee member, Jane Beeby:

Jane Beeby, 2012 candidate for Clarence Valley Council elections: maintaining the ugly silence

AVN supporter Erwin Alber:

Erwin Alber: the world’s worst person

AVN supporter, registered nurse, Kerry Baker:

Kerry Baker: Registered Nurse; AVN Supporter; Vilifier of Grieving Families.

Anti-vaccine nurses take note. You are on notice.

AVN supporter “Johanna Holland” with whom Dorey used to email to gather screenshots:

A Member of the Australian Vaccination Network: Their Abuse of Dana’s Name; the Harassment of the McCaffery Family and Members of Stop the AVN.

Remember. This little anthology is just a list of the callous acts perpetrated by the members and supporters of the AVN, either directly to grieving parents, or stated about them in public where these parents could see what was being said about them. This anthology doesn’t include any of the other evidence in the mountain of misinformation which has also been accrued over the last four years.

Again, Beattie: you had one job.

Here are some other nuggets from the segment.

Beattie states that, “the AVN facilitates discussion on vaccines”. Right. Okay. Here’s Meryl Dorey two days ago…

Yes, we do delete people who are not fans of the AVN…this is NOT a debating site.

This is text of the phone call Beattie made to Senator Di Natale, and recorded without the Senator’s knowledge or permission. Still of the segment:

Here is why Senator Di Natale would think that Beattie is not honest (apart from the obvious misinformation the AVN disperses like seeds to the wind). Beattie lied to the Senator, even at the precise moment when he was declaring his honesty to the Senator, while recording the damn phone call without telling the Senator. Honest, guv.

This guy would sell a rat’s asshole to a blind man as a wedding ring. That takes some real moxy.

Rather amusingly, at the end of the foetid Beattie mound, he calls on Senator Christine Milne to “clarify; does she support this Senator…”

Well, she doesn’t need to clarify anything for Beattie. Senator Milne was quite clear, three weeks ago, on Twitter:

I don’t even know why this post needed to be a thing. Seriously.
