Is this an example of the stuff that Mervyn teaches as communications (obfuscations) via his function as a university lecturer?

Jon J and imajulianutter I took it as mocking of those who try and paint Australia using those terms rather than as an endorsement of the views.
Could be wrong but a look at Mervyn's article http://www.onlineopinion.com.au/view.asp?article=4897 "Ideological orientation: unfortunately, like so many of the humanities and social sciences, terrorism research has been badly infected by the simplistic “class, gender, race” theoretical template, which is being combined with related concepts to produce highly predictable research results that invariably conclude that it is the West and not terrorism that is at fault." seems to back that viewpoint.
