I mentioned this long ago, but nobody was interested. Perhaps more people than realised tune out during mindless, unrealistic TV commercials; or perhaps the average Australian has become so thick that they don't even notice this diversity brainwashing.

The latter is the more likely. Australians are getting thicker than ever, with mob-think or no-think being the default position.

Australia has become a race and colour obsessed country, full of self-hatred and cultural/racial relativity.

If 60% of Australians want action on climate change then in a democracy is what we should have and just too easy if the nuclear option is chosen as CARBON FREE MSR thorium, which can also be used as a nuclear waste burner and using waste other folks will pay us annual billions to bury!

Couple this cheapest of all power generation costing probably less than a cent PWH, to deionisation dialysis desalination and we can go from turbocharged economic growth to turbocharged economic growth! As we drought-proof the nation!

Highways can be underlaid with a cling wrap thin layer of super-strong superconductor graphene to enable electric vehicles to be recharged! on the fly! And eliminate range as a limiting factor!

All our current energy sales and then some could be replaced and massively expanded if we reticulate electricity to ll our energy customers via undersea graphene cored cables! And our graphene highways could reticulate all our domestic energy to the end-user

There are no downsides here! All the prevents it is recalcitrant tin-ear pollies like yourself! And if the cap fits?

I don't know why this ex-politician has a problem with advertisers exercising their democratic right to have black and brown people in advertisers' commercials.

Does he suffer from residual South African rightwing, authoritarian, racism?

"I don't know why this ex-politician has a problem with advertisers exercising their democratic right to have black and brown people in advertisers' commercials."

He is exercising his democratic right to express his problem with it. To find his problem, simply read the article.

Does he suffer from residual South African rightwing, authoritarian, racism?
plantagenet,
where exactly is the article racist ?

Sticks and stones can break my bones, but what other people waste their time watching on their fool's mirror, will never harm me.

Those who seriously value and wish to advance their life, understand that the four aims of life can only be achieved by their own efforts, their own actions, rather than by passively sitting in front of a screen as couch-potatoes. Just as they consciously watch what kind of food and drink comes in their mouth, so also would they watch what kind of impressions and propaganda enter through their eyes and ears.

So let them who do not care about their lives and what junk goes into their brain, let them enjoy hearing their favourite views again and again. We have no right to interfere - even alcoholics have a right to their lifestyle.

The question being, how does the author know about the colour of the faces of actors that are involved in this kind of abuse?
