Why should I waste my time with racist rubbish that some people peddle to support their superiority complex. Pauline and her ilk suffer from Delusion of Adequacy.

Pauline is certainly a racist, as evidenced by her "swamped by Asians" remarks, however people who argue against Islam are not necessarily racist, because Islam is not a race it's an ideology that people have a right to argue against if there is evidence that it is harmful and I think that evidence certainly exists.

Pauline doesn't do a particularly good job of articulating her problem with Muslims because she is simply trying to get political advantage by raising emotions rather than engaging in an intellectual discussion for which she is ill equipped.
 
Mal roberts is a peanut. Your link is behind a paywall, but this guy is a bloody idiot.
 
Got to be my favorite quote:

Roberts asks if it's important for scientists to have an open mind.
Yes, Prof. Finkel says, "but not so much that your brain leaks out."

Roberts is an idiot, seriously.

Maybe Hanson surrounds herself with people of lesser intelligence.
They really had to dig hard to find em.
 

They are the same thing though. Same dynamic. But it seems you're saying the latter is ok whereas the former is not.

I disagree. Its closer to disliking communism or capitalists. You hate the ideology not necessarily where the people are from.

Both come from fear. Fear of being swamped by foreigners (or foreign culture) is really a fear of loss of identity and fear of loss of resources and freedoms. Fear of foreign ideology is the same - loss of identity, safety, resources and freedoms.

For me the question is: are the fears rational or not? I don't think racism is really the right word. I don't feel like Hanson is a hateful person at all. She's uptight and shrill, but underneath that there's someone who just wants to maintain Aussie culture. Worth maintaining? I think so.

I tend to think that all she is doing is highlighting a leftie driven 'tolerance' of values incompatible with that of the host country....

What is "Aussie culture" ? Football , meat pies, kangaroos and Holden cars ?

Unless we can define what we really are and what we really want maintaining then we can't really maintain it.

Our system of government ? Yes and no imo. I've come to the conclusion that our system of political donations is corrupt and therefore our political parties are corrupt.

Dastyari peddling the opinions of a foreign government, Robb taking a job with a Chinese company that he helped get the Darwin port contract, members of the COALition actively lobbying for the coal industry are all examples of a crumbling morality that has reduced our democracy to a shambolic facade and something needs to be done about it. I certainly wouldn't promote our system of government as it stands as an example of our culture that should be protected.

Is that real?
My God thats where we are at now.
Do I still get the option of identifying as a male? Or does that pi$$ off too many snowflakes that genders do indeed exist.
 

Yes it looks like she's had it.
A shame she has some good ideas but not enough intelligence to deliver them.
The jackals and parasites will continue to dominate politics in Australia.
If ever someone will integrity comes forward he or she will romp it into the Lodge.
