Dark clouds are looming, and I'm not talking about the usual summer bushfires. Nah, this is more serious, mate.

For to long racism, bigotry, disadvantage, misogyny and discrimination has existed in Australia, hidden behind a self serving mask of what could be termed "Aussie larrikinism". The Paul Hogan character Arthur Dunger was funny as, on our TV screens that is, but the real life Arthur Dunger's are anything but funny, hurtful obnoxious bastards with a mean streak running down their backs as they go around peddling hatred against anyone they consider to be, "not like them", and not up to their standard. I say, the quicker these hateful reprobates disappear from society, the better off we'll be.
