Cartoonist Fiona Katauskas had a cartoon that read:

"They talk about what we could be but never about what
we are:

Starving, homeless, injured, traumatised, exhausted,
and in desperate need of help."

And another that pointed out:

"Amazing how many politicians and commentators think you
can't carry two placards at once. One saying - "Anti-Hamas."
The other - "Anti Israel bombing and starving innocent
people."

As for the Gazans being brought here being placed in
Zali Steggall's electorate?

I think coming from a refugee background she would not have a
problem with that. She'd have been used to the old chestnut
being asked - "What have refugees ever done for us?"

And she'd know the answers like - well there was the Snowy
Mountains Project. And, nation-building, and their
contribution to the Arts, and business, and the economy, and
comedy, and science, and sport."

And talking about a warm glow? Anyone feel like getting a
Pho or a Beef Vindaloo or a Lamb Rogan-Josh, or a Butter Chicken?

Yes she'd be able to answer the question - What have refugees
ever done for us. And she would have a warm glow doing it.

Hi Foxy,

Is Dutton a racist? Is the Pope a Catholic? Same answer. Innate racism and bigotry exists in conservative people by nature, its in their DNA. Conservatism, and Dutton is a conservative no question of that, such people harbour fears within themselves, fear of change, which brings on suspicion of others who are different to them. Conservatives have a class belief in their own superiority over all others, and the belief that only they are the natural rulers within society.

Besides, Palestinians are Muslims, and Dutton has a definite disdain, if not a hatred towards Muslims. Would he be jumping up and down if these people were old white Anglo male Christians, me thinks not!

Duel citizenship should be abolished. It's peoples taking advantage of bad from safe. The safe being used when necessity arises.
They should come here and stay here or not at all.
Remember when Abbott went to England for a homecoming. That sort of mentality does not gell with me.
Dutton is on his knees he has allot of disfunction in his camp. And being a racist has only added to his stress levels. He was not a well liked pick for the liberals for a start. With Scomo's liberalising port folio's to an extent never seen before., is not a good look.

This doesn't make any sense
Foxy,
You don't make any sense. Do you even know what's going on over there & for how long it's been going on ?
Dutton is correct. The whole of the Middle east is Arab & Muslim so ask yourself why the Palestinians want to come to Australia ? Why not just head for any of the arab Countries ?
For crying out loud do some thinking sometimes !

Paul1405,
No need to try so hard to call others racists, we all know that crown belongs to you ! Most refugees in the past jettisoned the hatred when they arrived here. Now, yo are doing your utmost to rekindle it here !
