The media stories amused me. The friends that said they thought she was right about some things, worried me.Racism embarrasses me, in that I feel obliged to speak up against it in conversation.But aware of the rancorous arguements that can follow, I prefer to try some humorous comment that defusers the opinios expressed.Among men the accusations sometimes of a sexual nature help.And a joking comment can cause hilarity that demeans the person talked about and their published opinions successfully and belittles their arguement.Sure enough she was proven to be a light- weight against the innate goodness of most Australians and her recent ripping off, of the coffers of the electoral allowance gives her some compo. for her stupid jailing.Meanwhile she is now a part of our history of jokes!
