Well I could and probably will talk about those other things and educate you AGAIN about them (for example, I recall spending quite some time teaching you about the Pig Iron Bob myth) and explore the failings of self-preening pacificists but let's first get past your completely foolish swallowing of the Brisbane line myth. As I said, I'd already taught you about that but let's do it again...

"The so-called "Brisbane Line" was never a policy of the Menzies Government or any other conservative administration. It originated as a wartime political smear by Labor Minister Eddie Ward in October 1942. Ward accused the previous United Australia Party-Country Party coalition governments of Robert Menzies and Arthur Fadden of planning to abandon northern Australia to the Japanese, retreating to defend only the south-east industrial heartland behind a line roughly north of Brisbane.

This claim was entirely false. A Royal Commission established by Prime Minister John Curtin in 1943 thoroughly investigated the allegations and found no evidence that any such plan had been approved or even seriously developed by the Menzies Government. No documents supporting Ward's claims existed, and Menzies and his ministers strongly denied them.
In reality, a proposal to prioritise the defence of vital industrial regions between Brisbane and Melbourne was put forward by Lt General Iven Mackay in February 1942 — after Menzies was out of office — and submitted to the Curtin Labor Government, which rejected it.

The myth gained traction due to wartime anxiety and political opportunism ahead of the 1943 election. General Douglas MacArthur even popularised the term "Brisbane Line" in a press conference. However, the conservative governments under Menzies and Fadden had focused on broader national defence and cooperation with Britain, not regional abandonment. The Brisbane Line remains a classic example of how Labor successfully weaponised a fabricated narrative against their conservative opponents."

Hi Trumpster,

Your "evidence" is circumstantial and mostly hearsay at best, nonsense to us of the more educated elevated and knowledgeable establishment on the higher astral plane than YOU! What about the 5,000 Nazi's, nothing to say about that Pig Iron Bob voting mob, have you!

There are people out there who would part with thousands to be educated by me, and I'm educating YOU for gratis! Unashamedly there are those who refer to me as the "NEW EINSTEIN" of hysterical education. You may if you wish, I wont be embarrassed. Remember the Vikings, and the Alamo, African slaves, the Mungrels, Kodly Khan and his bro Fungus Khan I tough YOU about the lot.

"Your "evidence" is circumstantial and mostly hearsay at best,"

I pointed out to you that there had been a ROYAL COMMISION on the so-called Brisbane line that found that the claim it was something the Menzies government had pushed was all a made up ALP lie.

And you say a ROYAL COMMISION is circumstantial and hearsay?

You really are a bozo.

As to the pig Iron Bob rubbish, that's just another made up ALP lie that Paul fell for and refuses to 'unfall' for. And now he's fallen for or (more likely) misunderstood some rubbish claim about 5000 NAZIs who came to Australia after ww2. I don't know where he got the false data from and Paul never supplies sources so we'll never know, but the facts are that there were no proven war criminals found in Australia. In 1987 the Hawke government formed the Special Investigations Unit (SIU) which found 800 or so people to investigate, of which only 4 were shown to be suspect and when those were taken to court all were found not guilty.

Oh, and three of those four came to Australia under the Chifley ALP government.

So Paul's 5000 number is more evidence of his bozo-ness.

Seems Paul realises he's on a hiding to nothing here and exited stage left.

Hi Trumpster,

I was waiting fro you to say something about Pig Iron Bob's trip to Nazi Germany in 1938, or Bob's instance on the sale of pig iron to Japan, later used to bomb and kill Australians..

Oh, so Paul's surrendered on the Brisbane Line rubbish and now wants to find out how all his other rubbish is...errr... rubbish.

(Still even though he's now accepted that his Brisbane line rubbish is rubbish, that won't stop him regurgitating it at some time in the future after he's forgotten that his Brisbane line rubbish was shown to be....errrr..... rubbish.

OK the Pig Iron Bob rubbish. (We've been here before but it seems I need to remind Paul of this every year or so.)

1. Menzies was neither for nor against selling pig iron to Japan. But a perfectly legal contract had been made by BHP to sell pig iron to Japan and the Waterside Workers Union were trying to stop it by refusing to load the ship. Menzies, as the nation's Attorney-General, was obligated to enforce the law. So he wasn't selling pig iron, just upholding the law of the land.
2. Pig iron wasn't used to make munitions since it is too brittle for that. It was used to make factories etc. The claim about it being used to bomb Chinese and later Australians is just more leftard propaganda based on a misunderstanding of the facts.
3. Ironically, the money BHP made by selling pig iron to Japan was used by them to make steal that was used to make munitions in Australia which were in turn used against the Japanese after 1941.

Menzies visit Europe in 1938. He came away praising the efficiency of the German state. Vast numbers of western politicians praised the efficiency of the German state in 1938. That doesn't mean the praised everything about German state. For example Menzies was very vocal in condemning Kristallnacht. Curtin OTOH was very much in favour of the Munich Agreement that was so favourable to Hitler.
