A wonderfully succinct article.
It is a shame to see a PM presiding over division and hatred instead of beating the drum about the fantastic diverse and inclusive nation that Australia is today. Posted by Fester, Monday, 29 January 2024 10:02:31 AM

Hear, hear and well said Sir. Couldn't have put it better or more succinctly. You are, I am, we are Australians.

A good essay.
But there is nothing unified about humankind in this time and place. Indeed disunity is the dis-order that patterns/drives all of humankind. Those on the right side of the culture wars divide are just as "guilty" of promoting this disorder as those who quite rightly question the dominant narrative. These related references describe the situation. http://www.priorunity.org/excerpt-separateness-egoless-culture http://fearnomore.vision/world-2/integrity-of-the-whole http://www.dabase.org/p7unity.htm http://beezone.com/adida/narcissus.html The next essay describes the function of popular media in mis-informing the usual person who faithfully watches the "news" which is almost always bad news. http://beezone.com/2main_shelf/hypocrisyofpopdisgust.html Posted by Daffy Duck, Monday, 29 January 2024 5:44:47 PM

The controversy is from a very small "shouty" minority. No nation will be able to function if it is held hostage to these seeming narcissists. What do the Woke/ Communists that the narcissists support do to counter revolutionaries. Not saying that we should revert to murderous communist tactics but maybe we should send a few stink bombs in their general direction- do something- not just put our heads in the sand.

But, in keeping with his class, SS is still doing victory laps for (yawn) the Greatest Multicultural Nation On Earth. Too bad about the falling living standards and all-time rental crisis among the little people. Whom Albanese has deceived and betrayed.
Self-loathing? It is precisely the self-flagellation of the woke upper-orders which prevents any rational discussion or correction of Huge Australia, with its 80% level of population replacement. Because, obviously, "that would be too racist".
