The silent majority rubbish also ranks with the other Australian myth of the tall poppy syndrome - countless Aussie celebs have used this defence failing to recognise a lot of us ( the other silent majority ) see them as over grown weeds rather than poppies
Flint makes a few points (well one) - the failure of the NSW ALP to address crime - not racial crime but crime in general - he then goes on to inject the immigrant line about border control, legal injecting rooms and assimabiltiy (is that a word?) - all the other nagging things that so pre occupy this man - these are the things that apparently trouble the silent majority, the matters elevated to big deals by the shock jokes ( and no it isnt a spelling error ). He draws us back to what underlies his premise and that of so many of the quiet but indeterminate quotient - a whole bunch of us dont like foreigners unless they are serving us food or turning down our beds.
