The ABC needs to know its place and time : Comments

By Gary Johns, published 10/5/2017

As for the ABC's Yassmin Abdel-Magied's offensive Anzac Day tweet, and her eulogy to Islam­ic feminism, Ayaan Hirsi Ali was right to regard her as a 'hypocrite', dripping phony indignation.

Yasmin's hatred of what has given her freedom says a lot more about the people who employ her than herself. A system whereby no doubt the tax payer has paid her to study warped narratives and then given her a job when many sensible Australians can't get work shows how dumb our secular system is. People continue to vote for parties that gives this socialist Austalian hating broadcaster over a billion a year.

I did not know whether to laugh or cry when that privileged indignabt feminist presenter of Q&A banged on about how easy it was to buy a house 60 years ago. What an absolute disgrace of a woman. My parents never owned a home. My parents in law lived without electricity in a shed while working from dawn to dusk to buy a place. To have someone who is on 200,000 to 300000 a year from the public purse shows why the SWAMP needs draining.

If people want to look for her facebook and read the names of countries and get hysterical then I'm not surprised. The Australian War Memorial looks like a mosque with Quranzac writing.

It's strange but.."campaign to make "Mother's Day" a recognized holiday in the United States began in 1905, the year her mother, Ann Reeves Jarvis, died. Ann Jarvis had been a peace activist who cared for wounded soldiers on both sides of the American Civil War,"..
Anzac Day is not a victory march as the only success was the retreat.
It remembers death and the recent Coral sea event included Japan.

Nicknicknick,

I don't think that Australians celebrate Anzac Day or Armistice Day as victories so much as days to admire and remember the sacrifices that Australian and New Zealand men and women made to combat fascism and protect the basic values that you and I are able to live by.

But as I noted above, "Freedom of expression is one of our treasured Australian values: any idiot can say what they like." So go for it :)

Joe

In that case it's not offensive to remember other war dead , is it?
If it's offensive then Anzac Day must be something else than what you wrote.
