'A Fair Go' for all : Comments

By Graeme Couch, published 8/7/2026

Australia lacks an emotionally satisfying founding event and as a result an expression of national identity.

Paul is fond of fabricating from whole cloth things he erroneously says Bob Menzies said. Paul lives in his own little fantasy-land.

But here's an actual quote from Labor leader Arthur Calwell ...."'two Wongs do not make a White" referring to the common Chinese surname of Wong and a debate about deporting one of those Wongs. Many carry on as though the White Australia Policy was a right-wing thing but it was primarily pushed by the ALP and the union movement. (Note: it was officially ended by a Liberal Government).

Hi Trumpster,

Racism isn't confined to upper class Liberal snobs, such as 'Pig Iron' Bob, it can be traced to Labor wombats like Arty Calwell as well, never to be Prime Minister. Didn't someone take a pot shot at poor old Arty at the Balmain Town Hall, shooting at point blank range, and missed, can't always hit the target. Just as 'Pig Iron' Bob missed the target with his misplaced support for the White Australia Policy, 'Farty Arty' got it wrong when he said; "Two Wong's don't make a White". Just to show how wrong the old fool was, Penny Wong (my wife's favourite politician) a migrant who arrived as a child from Malaysia with her Chinese-Malaysian father and English-Australian mother. The family have been a fantastic success story as migrants. Penny has achieved great things in politics, and her parents also have done exceptionally well. Were they the Wong's the old fool was nutting off about?

"No. I'd explain it to you but you'd never understand and would never admit it if you did understand." COP-OUT.

Hi Trumpster,

While YOU are explaining the actions of the Scum Trump in the Middle East, YOU might like to also comment on the payout in the case of the Trump sexual abuser (sounds like rapists) over $5 million that the court has ordered be paid to the victim Jean Carroll.

BTW; Doesn't the Scum Trump have some disgusting form when it comes to women. No wonder his wife can't stand him!

I do have to congratulate Paul on his quoting of Article 5 of the MOU. Its been a very long time since Paul had an accurate quote rather than one of his made up claims about what this or that person said.

Of course, Paul being Paul, truncated the quote and then completely misunderstood what it said. But baby steps.

BTW, how is it that a preening self-described pacifist decides to defend a regime firing missiles at unarmed, non-combatant merchant ships?

Pacifist when it suits. Apologist for the fascist mullahs when needs be.

Hi Trumpster,

Moving the goal post! Where is the defence on my part. I am not defending the Iranian regime firing missiles, I don't agree that is what should happen, just as I don't agree with Trump and his lunatic mate in Israel murdering thousands of innocent women and children. I was asking YOU about Scum Trump lying, breaking his word on the MoU. No wonder there can't be peace in the world when a lying madman with his finger on the button, can't be trusted to keep his word.

Please address the question, and then please comment on the case of the poor woman who was sexually violated by Daffy Donald! YOU agree with what Daffy Donald done to the poor unfortunate victim. Hummmm!

Trump didn't break the terms of the MOU. You just misunderstood the text or deliberately fabricated in defence of the mullahs.

Trump was found to have NOT raped Carroll.
Do try to keep up.

Paul, back-tracking as fast as he can, has now decided that he doesn't defend the attacks by the Iranians on merchant shipping but that its still Trump's fault....somehow!!
