Yes SPQR, I guess people adopted the same attitude to the Nazis in the 1930s.
Certainly they did in the UK from what we see in documentaries etc.

Foxy always seemed to take a left like stance which is fair enough,
but lately she is becoming rigid and takes unsustainable positions.

SPQR, just read my last post where I said;
but lately she is becoming rigid and takes unsustainable positions.

Perhaps it could be better expressed as;
Foxy lately takes reasonable but unrealistic positions.

Yes Bazz, <<I guess people adopted the same attitude to the Nazis in the 1930s.>> Bazz, just like 'Pig Iron' Bob Menzies did, the founder of The Liberal Party, and a hero of Tony Abbott's, thought Hitler was a wonderful chap after his 2 week visit to Nazi Germany!

SPQR what is the neo-fascists policy of Australia First this week, you should know!

Good Morning,

I certainly don't have the answers on how to
prevent or contain terrorist acts in Australia
however I don't realistically think that what's
being proposed in posts on this discussion is
going to solve the problem. Of course that's
only an opinion and should simply be taken as such.
Nothing more should be read into it about myself,
or my character. The closest solution that made
sense to me was the one offered by Peter Costello
in his book, "The Costello Memoirs," where he stated:

"Terrorists and those who support them do not acknowledge
the rights and liberties of others - the right to live
without being maimed, the right to live without being
bombed - and as such they forfeit the right to join in
Australian citizenship..."

"There is one law we are all expected to abide by. It is
the law enacted by the Parliament under the Australian
Constitution. If you can't accept that you don't
accept the fundamentals of what Australia is and what it
stand for."

And finally -

"We are asking all of our citizens to subscribe to a
framework that can protect the rights and liberties of all.
These are Australian values. We must be very clear on this
point. They are not optional. We expect all those who call
themselves Australians to subscribe to them. Loyalty,
democracy, tolerance, the rule of law, values worth preserving,
values worth defending. The values of Australia and its
citizens."

Cheers.

Dear Bazz,

You wrote, seemingly with a straight face, this little gem;

“I guess people adopted the same attitude to the Nazis in the 1930s.“

Wanting to ban a people from a country specifically because of their race/religion would kinda fit that bill rather nicely wouldn't you think.

Lol, made my day.
