Dear FireballXL5,

.

I forgot to comment on your remark that “Only lefties think Mr Dutton is a racist” and your request to “prove [you] wrong”.
.

I have no way of knowing if “only lefties think Mr Dutton is a racist”, FireballXL5. I doubt that anyone has the means of interviewing the 26 million Australians to find out, and even if they did, there’s no way of knowing if everybody is telling the truth or not.

I nevertheless googled the question on the internet and discovered that Peter Dutton, himself, declared that he is not a racist. Again, I have no way of knowing if he is telling the truth or not.

As a result, I’m afraid I can’t prove you wrong, as you request.

If you can do it, perhaps you would be kind enough to tell me how.
.

By the way, FireballXL5, as you seem to be interested in conservative party politics, I forgot to mention in my previous post that Brodie’s Law criminalising cyberbullying was established by the conservative Liberal–National Party Alliance government of Victoria in 2011.

I thought it might be of interest to you and your conservative friends here on OLO.

Dear Banjo,

Thank you for answering Fireball's questions. You've
covered them rather well on behalf of us both.

I've made the decision to focus on the positives and
not the negatives and not allow myself to be in any
way reduced by any of this.

We have so much to be grateful for in this wonderful country
of ours, as I've stated so many times on this forum.

We should be proud of the society that's been enriched by
the joint ventures and endeavours of both sides of
politics - which have created what we are today.

We need to see the good in all dimensions of our Australian
society, including our Indigenous culture.

As for the question of Peter Dutton being a racist?

Politically, Peter Dutton has, as I wrote earlier, proven
himself to be a brutal operator. He's repeatedly sought
to elevate his own position by attacks on minorities, including
African immigrants, Lebanese refugees, and Aboriginal people.

He walked out of Kevin Rudd's apology to the Stolen Generations
and he pushed boundaries of international law in his treatment
of asylum seekers as Home Affairs Minister.

All anyone has to do is again, as I stated earlier - take a
stroll through his parliamentary records. The facts speak
for themselves. People can't be blamed for the man's track
record.

At the same time, I also pointed out that Peter Dutton is
capable of surprise. His support of gay marriage a few
years ago and more recently of Julian Assange. I also
stated that it was beneficial having a strong opposition which
holds governments to account and makes them perform better.

However we must apply the same humanitarian processes for
all with no distinction on the basis of race, language,
place of birth or faith.

One of the things we all should be doing is stop fanning
people's fears. Also political divisions amongst ourselves
of Right, Left, et cetera - aren't very constructive.

Divisive comments by political leaders put a target on
certain communities and fan sentiments of discord between
communities and affect cohesion throughout the country.

Yes FirebirdXL5. How can it be bad to protect the mainly British people that founded the nation Australia under the British program.

Marxism doesn't support the idea of personal property ownership in a sense, so the idea of open borders that many on the Left support, seems to coincide.

Marxist "state ideological ownership" is similar to "open borders".

In history nations and peoples have identified with particular territories, some more than others.

In a sense "Marxist ideology" is a form of "culture and perhaps ethnicity" (ethnicity if you consider the extent of ideological euthanasia cleansing in Marxist countries still unaccounted for)(Perhaps Marxists tried to change peoples physical brains by euthanasia breeding out counter-revolutionary genes).

It seems that Marxist's consider themselves superior to others, it's ok for Marxist Culture/ Ethnicity to have their own territory but not other cultures.

I don't like to use the terms Left and Right. I find describing the movements to be a more accurate description of the political landscape ie Marxist, Classic Traditional Labor movement, Workers Parties, Business Parties, Traditionalism (the original political system that the "Lefties" call the Far Right Extremism in order to denigrate it and to imply a veiled immorality and illegality), etc.

See political spectrum
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_spectrum

The Left Right "Single Axis" model seems heavily influenced by the Frankfurt School of political thought producing many "Leftist/ Marxist" activists including the Hebrew Gay Psychologist, Herbert Marcuse "Father Of The New Left".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_Marcuse
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Frankfurt_Institute_for_Social_Research

"The Institute was founded in Frankfurt am Main in 1923, where it was (and as of 2005 once again is) affiliated with the University of Frankfurt am Main. It was founded by Felix Weil, a student of the Marxist philosopher Karl Korsch, with an endowment provided by Weil's wealthy father Hermann Weil. Its first director, Kurt Albert Gerlach, who proposed the idea of creating the institute with Weil, died before making his mark, and was swiftly followed by Carl Grünberg, a Marxist historian who gathered together fellow "orthodox" Marxists at the Institute, including his former pupil Henryk Grossman."

Not only do Woke Marxist's attack the founding peoples of nations, such as British Australian's, but they often use proxies such as the Islamic community (for example with the Pro-Palestinian protests) some of whom also claim Socialist beliefs, but of a more ethno-nationalist flavour. From memory the Sunni Baath Party claims the principles of Socialism, Nationalism, Islamism. In a sense the Marxist's have recruited Islamic mercenaries to fight it's battles, similar to the recruiting of the Irish mercenaries by the English against the Scots (in the British Isles context).

Viewing through Machiavelli's "The Prince", Marxism could be said to be rooted in Asia Minor/ Middle East based on it's structure. This seems plausible when you consider that Marx was Hebrew. Hebrew's identifying heavily with ancient Judea and Jerusalem in the Middle East. Machiavelli said that Turkish political structure was more monolithic around the sovereign, with it's rotating officials without personal armies, than more distributed European political structures, with lords and personal armies. So in a sense Middle Eastern political structures seem to be more tyrannical in a sense than Europe if you believe Machiavelli.

This Middle Eastern tyrannical structure seems even more the case in ancient China and during the Golden Hordes period of the 1200-1300's that led to a new period of European expansion.

Apparently the Frankfurt School has significant links with Columbia University in New York state.

Wikipedia tells us that:

"The culture of Australia is primarily a Western culture,
originally derived from the United Kingdom."

We're told that "The unique geography of Australia and the
cultural input of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and
other Australian people also influenced its culture."

We're told that "The British Colonisation of Australia
began in 1788 and waves of multi-ethnic migration followed."

George Brandis, former Liberal Attorney-General, stated
that we should be proud of our society that has evolved
with joint endeavours from both sides of politics - which
has created what we are today.

Our system of government while heavily influenced by the
British and US systems of government -
our Australian democracy differs from other
countries in several ways:

1) Australia was created peacefully when 6 colonies voted to
federate - join together in 1901. We are a Federation.

2) Australia is the only English-speaking country where voting
is compulsory.

3) Australians vote for representatives in both the House of
Representatives and the Senate.

4) Australians use preferential voting to make sure the
governments we elect have the support of the majority of voters.

Another key feature of our democracy is the secret ballot.
In fact it used to be called the Australian ballot.

Yes indeed, so many of the features of our Australian heritage
we can and do see the good in all dimensions of our Australian
society - of which we should (and most of us are) so very proud
today.
