I guess all of us can only speak from our own experiences.
Most of us just get on with our lives and take people as
we find them. I've been lucky enough to find that most
people that I encounter are decent human beings. I also
find there's so much to learn from other cultures. It is
a fascinating world that we live in after all.

We know from history that for many thousands of years
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people lived on
the Australian continent. Estimates suggest that there
were some 700 different cultural groups speaking some 250
different languages.

Indigenous people had contact with people from Papua New
Guinea and from explorers and traders from Asia and the
Pacific Islands. Australia's multiculturalism has been
built over 60,000 years of First Nations culture. The
country's success is attributed to immigration being
accepted as a nation-building project.

Of course there have been challenges - including
discrimination based on skin-colour, ethnic origin,
and religion.

That's why it is so very important what our children
and grand-children are taught both in their homes and
in institutions of learning if we want to proudly be
known as a tolerant, cohesive, society, where everyone
if given a "fair-go".

That’s the opinion of this judge., not the opinion of many of us mere mortals.who I would tend to believe before this learned judge. The learned crowd do not have a good record of being reasonable at times.

Hi Foxy,

We soon lost the Trumpster when the 'Big Lie' "Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, are eating peoples pets" was exposed. I think mhaze swallowed the cat with that one.

There are a few Old Fart die-hard racist buggers who wont accept multiculturalism in Australia for the success it has been. The vast majority of post war migrants from Europe, Asia, South America and Africa, have made decent lives for themselves here. Today the sons, daughters, grandsons and granddaughters of migrants are having great success in this country. Only last Saturday the son of Italian migrants was elected the 41st Premier of Queensland.

"David Frank Crisafulli was born on 14 April 1979 in Ingham, Queensland. He is one of two children born to Karen and Antonino "Tony" Crisafulli; his parents are both of Italian origin. His father's family originates from the village of Novara di Sicilia in Sicily, Italy. His paternal grandfather Francesco Crisafulli immigrated to Australia in 1960 to work as a cane-cutter and later established his own sugarcane farm on the Herbert River.

None of this shite would be dragged out periodically if Abbott had had the guts to stand up to the Left woke in his party who dissuaded him from keeping his election promise to abolish sec.18c.

Hanson says she will appeal against Judge Woke's ruling, citing freedom of political communication – a right the High Court has said is implied in the Constitution.

Faruqi should piss off back to Pakistan: she is an anti-Semite and therefore, a blatant racist herself. Like Thorpe, she has also abused the Monarchy - Queen Elizabeth in particular - despite her oath.

Hanson's remarks about the appalling Green Senator are welcome, and they will not, can, not, be unsaid, no matter what some dopy judge thinks. Millions of Australians will agree with the words, and will hopefully remember them at the current and get rid of the likes of Faruqi.

Remember the photograph of Faruqi with a sign saying “keep Australia clean”, clearly suggesting a need for ethnic cleansing of Australia? She also refused to vote against the genocidal slogan “from the river to the sea”.

It's pretty clear which of the two women is the real racist.

"Facts will always prove us wrong".

Pauline Hanson's past and present behaviour is on
record. As is Senator Faruqi's .
The judge made his decision according to the law.
He found that the explanations offered by Hanson's
legal team - were not valid.

I stated at the very beginning that my preference would have
been for both Hanson and Faruqi to have been found guilty
of inappropriate behaviour. One for provoking,
the other for responding. The judge made his decision according
to the law. Justice wears a blindfold for a reason.

Dear Paul,

If we look at the leaders we've had in this country - we'll
find their ancestries to be a very wide mix. Did you know that
the South Australian premier is of Lithuanian ancestry? Our
PM - of Italian? And so it goes.

We are one and we are many ...And from all the lands on
earth we come ... We share a dream and sing with one voice.
I am, you are, we are Australian.
