Thanks ttbn,

Paul (and anyone who's interested)

Here's First Dog on the Moon with a bit of satirical sanity and the return of the racist carrot....

http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/jul/20/the-racist-carrot-returns-to-reclaim-australia-and-hes-had-a-gutful

Last two frames:

"How is it that a country like Australia which believes in being allowed to wear your thongs in the front bar and a fair go for all is in such a bigoted flap?"

"These days even Nazis are allowed to be offended when they're called racist."

"Oh I'm not a full time racist, just on the weekends. It's more of a hobby."

"Meanwhile the Prime Minister bravely said nothing when a federal parliamentarian spoke in front of the sort of rally that Nazis would normally attend but didn't."

"I have spent years whipping the country into an islamophobic frenzy. I'm not going to give up all those votes for the cheap appearance of decency."

* "Leadership is about making hard choices."

Dear runner,

Kindly provide us with some evidence to your claims
both about the ABC and my supposed "Abbottphobia."
Otherwise I shall take your comments once again
as your usual drive-by rant - to be ignored.

Here's the speech given by George Christensen at the
reclaim rally with appropriate translations:

Fox, (to runner), "Kindly provide us with some evidence to your claims
both about the ABC and my supposed "Abbottphobia."

Fox's SUPPOSED Abbottphobia? LOL

You will need to be patient. Along with everyone else, runner would have fallen off his chair in mirth at that one. You have more front than a Greyhound bus.

Regarding the ABC, yes the ABC does have a 'Progressive' slant - which is of course why you like it. -Along with those iffy 'independents', blogs and suchlike.

Gawd Foxy - that's rather forward of you!

Lol!...I like this bit:

"....I am proud of the fact that someone who has a particular belief can hold that view without fear of intimidation. They can practice their faith – whether they are Christian, Buddhist, or Muslim – at a church, a temple, or a mosque – without fear of intimidation...."

I like this next bit even better:

"TRANSLATION: You’re free to practice whatever religion you like, provided you don’t practice whatever religion I don’t like. Which is Islam."

Oh and...

"Likewise, we have a freedom to criticise. While it is not my cup of tea to criticise religions, I see that people criticise Christianity every day without fear of retribution, violence, or being called a Christophobe or a racist.

TRANSLATION: It is my cup of tea to criticise religions. And by ‘religions’ I mean Islam."

(Not to mention that some of us run a daily risk of being pasted as "Abbottphobes" by runner)

"It is we who must not give in to the bullying and the intimidation and speak without fear to our friends and family about our freedoms, our culture, our lifestyle, and the threat radical extremism brings to those freedoms.

TRANSLATION: The Muslims who make up 2 percent of the population are taking over. We should feel under threat.

Best bit is when the right-wing populist reactionary blathers about the Magna Carta.

And so it goes...the radicals, Nazis and racists are protecting our kulcha...the naughty lefties are being pepper-sprayed coz of their obvious debauchery (I noted a group of medics were doused in spray merely for being there - serve 'em right too!)

Lovely experience this bizarro Oz.

Doesn't take much to tilt a country off it's moral axis, it seems.

otb,

You always argue in such a logical, manner.
Presenting all of us with sound reasoning
and not resorting to unreasonable generalisations.
You have continued to raise the bar in forum
discussions - always arguing in a mature,
intelligent manner - which we all appreciate
and your "pearls of wisdom," should be recorded.
Write a book. It will be a best-seller, I'm sure.
Especially in Queensland.

Where - everyone likes a logical, non-abusive and strong
debater - like George Christensen.

Well done - you Sir are a "true-blue!"
