Hi Paul,
Before you go conflating conservatives with Nazis, remember that Churchill was staunchly anti-communist and anti-Nazi. Russian propaganda pulp fiction still portrays Churchill as an enemy of Russia, even uniting with the Nazis to lay waste to Great Britain in "Comrade Hitler". Dutton tried to outspend Labor in the election campaign. I still haven't a clue what he stood for. And now Ley announces legislation unsalvageable then votes for it a few days later. What support could a pack of stand for nothing blow in the wind clowns ever draw? Posted by Fester, Friday, 23 January 2026 12:38:42 PM

Hi Fester,
Then on the other hand the German conservatives were willing to get into bed with Hitler, believing he was the better alternative to communism, and that they would be able to control Hitler. How wrong they were. BTW I would agree with Churchill. A choice between Hitler and Stalin, that's no choice at all. From my point of view, to me Hanson/Joyce and One Nation are a unrealistic alternative as a possible government, their leadership lacks intelligence and the skills required. I would much prefer moderate centre parties above radicals any day. Posted by Paul1405, Friday, 23 January 2026 8:30:45 PM

Hi Fester,
One danger with conservatives is when the far right gain traction, the conservatives tend to follow them politically, in an attempt to hold ground. In England where there was a clear class divide, with a pronounced distinction between the classes, and therefore voting patterns. Australia has been for most of its history fairly classless in many respects, and certainly today there is little distinction between the two major parties, they both are seen as centre moderates.

Hi Paul,
The conservatives in England passed laws to ban Nazis in the 1930s. The German conservatives who helped Hitler were useful idiots, not co-conspirators. Those laws the Brits passed are the reason you can be arrested for saying "Who voted for him?" about the king in a public space. Posted by Fester, Sunday, 25 January 2026 5:04:38 AM

I think at some stage we have to admit that Australia is not a multicultural country, we are an Anglo-Celtic country. I don't believe it's possible to have a perfect society, but it is possible for a people to manage their own nation, according to their own biased principles. Christianity is part of European society and that means that we need to protect it in spite of some faults. All societies are subjective, none are objective in my view. We need to favour Anglo-Celtics in Australia just as Muslims are favoured in Muslim nations. Every culture needs their own nation. Sovereignty. We can't be everything to everyone. As some has said "the constitution is not a suicide pact". I think it would be wrong to ban parts of the ancient bible in Australia on the basis of incitement, but I believe it is wrong to allow similar in Australia from Muslims. Because Australia is a Christian nation. The Australian people weren't asked about mass immigration. Different cultures formed different nations because the principles were incompatible, academics can't suddenly decide that they know better and force normal people to their ideology, because they want to get more money from foreign students. Academics will never have enough money, and therefore they will never stop the impact of foreign students on Australia.
If academics want more money they need to produce something of value, not take the easy path of bringing in more foreign students, like leftist governments raising taxes to solve their problems rather than finding ways to manage and invest their money better.
