Fake news! The Senator Fraser Anning saga : Comments
By Spencer Gear, published 3/10/2018It seems to me that the 'fake news' definition from the Collins Dictionary has been played out before my eyes in Australia in 2018.

You've hit the nail on the head, Bazz, by labelling the Fraser Anning saga a 'stupid response' by both politicians and mass media.
It did give Anning lots of publicity for Katter's Australian Party and the values of KAP. It would have gotten up the nose of those on the left when he revealed he was a 'conservative Christian'. That's an ideal trigger for the godless folks to give Anning a kick. In the article, I highlighted some of the foolish statements made by those who should know better - MPs, Senators and mass media journalists. Posted by OzSpen, Friday, 5 October 2018 7:32:06 AM

I suspect they were probably more bothered by his fawning admiration of the White Australia Policy. But since nobody is psychic I guess we'll never know. Posted by Toni Lavis, Friday, 5 October 2018 7:44:43 AM

typical of Toni to lose the argument and then demonise and misrepresent to cloud the issue. No doubt from the same sick ideology school as Ms Ford. Facts don't matter to the left.

Sorry, are you trying to tell me Senator Anning didn't utter the following words in his speech? "A key part of this great pre-Whitlam consensus was bipartisan support from both Liberal and Labor for a European based immigration program. The great Labor statesmen Ben Chifley, John Curtin and Arthur Calwell all strongly supported an immigration program that actively discriminated in favour of Europeans. Australia's greatest conservative, Sir Robert Menzies himself, said: I don't want to see reproduced in Australia the kind of problem they have in South Africa or in America or increasingly in Great Britain. I think— a European based immigration program has— … been a very good policy and it's been of great value to us..." http://www.sbs.com.au/news/full-text-senator-fraser-anning-s-maiden-speech Runner, if that's not admiration of the White Australia Policy then I'm a turnip.

To Tony Lavis.
Human beings are tribal and territorial. What holds all societies together is the shared beliefs and values of its citizens as to what constitutes right and wrong behaviour. The desire to live amongst ones own kind, people who share your values and with whom you feel safe, is a cultural universal. The ghettoisation of Australia into ethnic suburban enclaves is contemporary proof of that. Multiculturalism is exactly like socialism, how many times does it need to fail before "intelligent" people like yourself flash on the concept that it never works? What do these "multicultural" states have in common? Lebanon, Fiji, Cyprus, Georgia, Afghanistan, Biafra, Rhodesia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Liberia, Kashmir, Punjab, Sudan, Nigeria, Bougainville, East Timor, Yugoslavia, Kurdistan, New Zealand, Bhutan, Angola, Burma, Chechnya, Guadalcanal, Aden, Malaya, Oman, Congo, Northern Ireland, Palestine/Israel, Czechoslovakia, Yemen, Mexico, East Timor, Thailand and recently, Ukraine. Why do you want Australia to emulate their failed societies? If Australia had kept the White Australia Policy, this country would now be a stronger, more prosperous and a safer country than it is now. We would not have "diversity bollards" littering city streets, teachers refusing to teach in "troubled" (read Muslim and African) schools, billions spent on security, armed guards on jewish schools, newspaper offices and government buildings, ever expanding prisons and welfare offices, African gangs in Melbourne out of control with the police advising residents to flee them on sight, Australian Defence Force members, SES volunteers, ambulance drivers, and Rural fire Service volunteers advised to not wear their uniforms off duty to minimise the risk of being beheaded, or the need for specialist medical teams in Canturbury, Bankstown and Fairfield hospitals to treat the consequences of female genital mutilation. Fair Dinkum, Tony. People like you seem to have a thought process that thinks like this. Racism bad. Therefore anything associated with racism must not even be thought about or considered in any way. Turn off brain. Bask in the reflected glory of your shining moral virtue Posted by LEGO, Friday, 5 October 2018 1:53:49 PM

that all those that were outraged by the use of two words often used
in all fields including mathematics are just simply dishonest.
They knew what was meant but they just wanted to pretend it meant
something from history, what a lot of daggy stupid twits that thought
the rest of us would not understand what they were up to.
If the Greens or Bill Shortlan said it, it would have gone unoticed.
