Letting Catholic priests into Australia was a mistake
Centuries of failed migration policy must not be repeated
Warning: you are now entering a politically incorrect zone. Australia is in the middle of an honest discussion, fuelled by Immigration Minister Peter Dutton. Previously, Australia’s immigration policy has been based on a complex, rather muddled process where immigrants from all over the world joined the so-called “most successful and harmonious multicultural nation in the world”.
But that’s a phrase our prime minister hasn’t used it for some time now. Things change. Our nation is not counting its immigration successes, but its immigration failures. Chief among those is the introduction of Lebanese Muslims. Mr Dutton says that allowing them to flee the Lebanese Civil War to our shores was a “mistake”. And what better way to quantify that mistake than crime statistics. In question time, Dutton pointed out that, of 33 recent terrorism charges, 22 were against people of Lebanese Muslim background.
I’m feeling quite jealous of Richard Crooke right now … well done!
Did Dutton’s anti-Muslim spray breach section 18C?

I’m not a member, so I don’t know?
“Did Dutton’s anti-Muslim spray breach section 18C?”
Dunno. If so, is truth a defence?
Only if it’s the truth. Current evidence would be required
I did read about how Victoria’s second longest serving Premier would have been kicked out under muttons racist rant
Is there ‘truth’. or just decades old musings?
Some of the old Union Bashers get it. How low CAN we go?
Dutton’s attack on Fraser shows how low our politicians are willing to go on refugees

And yes, every time Labor capitulate, we know the new breed of Union Bashers will ratchet it down ever further. So I’m glad Shorten “appears” to have stopped caving ….. for now.
“I did read about how Victoria’s second longest serving Premier would have been kicked out under muttons racist rant”
Which couldn’t be more wrong.
‘his paternal grandfather came to Australia as a child from Zahlé in the Beqaa Valley of Lebanon in the 1890s. His family were Melkites before immigrating and converting to Roman Catholicism’
How absolutely delicious……………………..ROFLMAO
Hoisted by her own petard comes to mind
“Labor frontbencher Terri Butler has lashed out at a “hypocritical” lawsuit commenced against her by a Brisbane student over her remarks on the ABC’s Q&A program.”

How many, Catholic Priests have actually been sent down* for pedophilia?
*and will they go up?
Meanwhile this bloke certainly knew he was breaking the law … always an arrogant bastard …

I find the title of this article highly amusing, post-ironic & topical!
Hello and nice to see you HD.
Thankyou, Tom.
It just now occurred to me, that the aborigines’ best interests (and isn’t that how we’re encouraged to measure ourselves?), would have been better realised by ‘not letting the rest of the world into straya’.
Conservatives loved ‘progression’ when it came down to the difference between spears & muskets.
What a vague conundrum.
