The burka comes to parliament: Pauline Hanson's panto : Comments

By Binoy Kampmark, published 21/8/2017

She is immune to critique, let alone criticism, and no doubt plotting the next display that will grab the headlines.

'But to continue -
What I hate and will not tolerate under any circumstances
is the fact that some people insist on downgrading the
contribution that migrants have made to this country-
that it was only the Anglo-Celtics who made this country what
it is today. That is simply not true.'

who might these people be Foxy?

personally I have not run across anyone who denigrates the contribution of most migrants in this country. As for those who come here just for the welfare system well thats another matter.

at the end of the day its only an opinion. Many academics totally trash the legacy of many British who cleared land, fed the nation and produced wealth. I wonder if Martin Luther King Jr statues may one day be pulled down as he saw homosexually as an acquired disorder.

Dear Armchair Critic,

You wrote;

"I may have seemed to come across a little racist yesterday"

Interesting use of the word 'little'.

Basically you were saying anyone who didn't look white or obviously indigenous could be lumped into the non-Australian bracket. If Victor Chang for instance was in your camera lens he would have been labelled as other.

You definitely came across as racist.

Dear runner,

Have a read of Armchair Critic's posts in this discussion.
You'll see what I mean.

Dear Armchair Critic,

So you think that I am not really a part of Australia?

It seems to me that you are looking at things from a
very outdated, narrow-minded, and rigid prism, with which
most Australians today would not agree. But perhaps you
aren't being serious. Perhaps you're merely pulling my leg.
I'll take it that you are.

And, with that in mind and with a great big grin, all
I've got to say to you is:

May your chooks turn into emus
And kick your dunny down.

Hey SteeleRedux,
Yes I know I came across in a manner seemingly racist, which was why I took the time to try to crarify what I meant.
I'm not necessarily against immigrants and foreigners (I think we take too many though) but I'm more against the 'agenda' that empowers foreigners and minority groups with a message that the existing inhabitants are all racist scumbags.
I'm telling you straight, I wouldn't regard myself as being truly racist but if my suburb got swamped by foreigners and muslims, it could go either way.
I don't want to carry hate, but I don't want to see my country and community changed for the worse by Soros funded progressive retards.

And Foxy, you're from Sydney aren't you?
Because I meant your city is not really representative of the rest of the country, thats why you ship immigrants to country towns to change the voting demographic across the board for global socialist agendas.
I didn't mean that you aren't Australian.
You're an Aussie, I accept that and I've said it before, and I'm proud of the efffort and contribution your parents made.
I'm just not that keen on your love of Muslims over the inetersets of regular Aussies, that's all.
I don't like it, but I understand why because you told me already.

This seems to be getting away from the subject. The panto was a serious effort to get Parliament to discuss a serious problem. Immigrants used to come to Australia as they admired the life available here and once here they did their best very successfully to change themselves into Australians. This was true irrespective of race until the latest applicants seem to want to change Australia into their Sharia laws and their religion. This is not acceptable. What should be done about it

The ridiculous politically correct effort made by Senator Brandis and actually applauded by Labour shows that Parliament is completely incapable of even considering the problem

Hasbeen: "Yes Bazz we had a ship building industry. We even built ships, railway rolling stock & diesel locomotives in places like Maryborough for gods sake.

We built our own earth moving equipment, mining equipment, & exported cane harvesters & complete sugar mills.

Now of course we only take in each others washing, apart from mining, & we buy our mining plant from Korea."

And we used to have the cheapest electricity prices in the world, until the alarmists got the gullible, PC-correct MPs to reverse that by subsidising the uncontrollable, unreliable, high-cost renewables and phasing out low-cost, reliable, coal-fired base-load power stations. Ever-increasing energy prices will drive offshore, whatever manufacturing industry we have left
