Freedom of speech and protest

Slowly we inch...

The 1958 Migration Act provides significant powers to Ministers to cancel visa applications.
To suggest this is slowly inching merely reflects an ignorance of the Act.

Or your ignorance of my meaning.

Don't make dumb assumptions.

Try writing something more sensible - is it that hard?

Anyone with any sort of an eye for nuance world known exactly what I'm saying, Rob. Which kind of proves my point... slowly we inch...

Really?
I never learned to write without meaning.
You have turned it into an art form.
So say exactly what you mean and stop skirting around the issue.

I'll write what I feel I should write, or want to write. I'm not really concerned if you get it or not, and I don't consider you my target audience fwiw.

Don't expect readers to disambiguate what you write when it's open to various interpretations.
It's plain sloppy.
You could have instead clarified for everyone what you intended, rather than bury it in your preferred nuance.
Your last few words above say a great deal about the type of person you are.
If you don't write for others to read, maybe do not write to begin.

The target audience for Wayne is those who "get it" . Who understand that the world is going to "hell in a handbasket" because of the Post Modern influence of the Marxist/Feminist/ SJW/ Gender bent/ Islamic influencers who are whiteanting the proud Christian Traditions of a Once Great Civilisation.

You don't have to be "specific" to make this point. A touch on the nose, a nuanced response, a total poisonous rave from Milo or Tommy is all that is required isn't it ?

The problem here was that the ScoMo government decided it could do without the Caped Christian Crusaders (CCC vs KKK ?) so close to an election. Of course the local CCC's are apoplectic about being unable to have their say and spread the "gospel.

Well bas, apart from the absurd stawmanesque embellishments, you're pretty close to the mark there.

I wonder if the ABC will campaign to have his visa reinstated so that Milo Yiannopoulos can speak?

After all, they allowed him to post a question in abstentia to Gordon Peterson at the start of Q&A last week. I doubt it though.

Interesting discussions are spreading on who's who and what.

That doesn't make sense IMO. It's implying that young people and conservatives have the same opinion of what socialism is. Surely what young people are asking for in the context of those two requirements is regulated capitalism.

As in communist China.

No, China is more like state capitalism. It is regulated not for the benefit of the people, but of the Communist Party. Sometimes those benefits coincide, but more often not. Ultimately the CP controls everything and as we know there is no opposition. By regulated capitalism I mean basically a capitalist system that is moderated so that excesses are curtailed with respect to workers rights, tenants rights etc.

The CCC have brought their wunderkid in from the cold.

Milo rides again. Bring out the popcorn.

That is good though? Freedom of speech is not just about allowing those we agree with to speak. It's all or nothing, with the exceptions of those actually promoting violence, not be confused with those acting violently because they don't want others to speak.

So. In light of the Carefully Calculated Carnage inflicted on men, women and children worshipers in two New Zealand mosques and simulcast world wide :

What will those on the right/ Centre Right of politics do to expose the maddies and stop this terrorism from within their ranks?

I suppose they will unreservedly condemn this atrocity, as they have done, and likely change the gun laws, or support changes to the gun laws as has been proposed by the NZ PM and was done by a Right wing PM in Australia when an atrocity of that nature happened. They will recognise (hopefully, but it seems to be the case) that the perpetrator was at the extreme end of their political spectrum and not pretend that it has nothing what so ever to do with politics of the right. It will be very unlikely that those on the Right / Centre Right will provide succour to those who might be complicit or in alignment with the perpetrator.

This man did not come from the ranks of the right/center right... Pulleeeze.

He self identifies as Eco fascist. That is not anything to do with the mainstream right.

Tell them to kill all lefties instead
And anyway terror attacks are part and parcel of living in a big city.
Is that the comment you need and want?
