By Dirk Moses, published 11/1/2006

Dirk Moses argues the media commentary on the Cronulla riots has been disappointing and failed to offer any new perspectives.

More of the same. It's getting boring. Either we need to get off the subject altogether, or we need new material.

It is Leighs' posts which are boring. Rejects anything which doesn't conform to his view of how things should be.
I found this article well balanced, constuctive and informative.

Perhaps Leigh could post something? Anyhow, Dirk has my vote, I'm tired of the ceaseless garbage that Miranda Divine churns out week after week. I hope she reads the posting.

Leigh, stop being a lazy feral. Get off your backside and produce 850 words of coherence. When you can do that, I'll take you seriously. Until then, all I'll see is your backside in the air and your head plonked in the sands of Cronulla Beach!

A very useful assessment which will go a long way towards understanding the phenomena.
There is every chance of a recurrence of the violence unless more commentators are prepared to accept honestly that this Country has not completely shed it's 'white australian' mind set.
Prominent commentators reinforce the mind set which is clearly encouraged by Government Policies towards Asylum Seekers, Refugees and Migrants.

Even if it means we hear "more of the same", we can't get off the subject altogether. The racist attitudes held by rioters and members of the media will not just go away if we stop talking about them, and Dirk's article addresses the issue well.
