Beach, like Hanson you stretch the truth to suit, claiming Evan Pederick, was a "leftists". When in fact he was a member of an eastern fruitcake mob called "Ananda Marga". I hate to spoil your senseless narrative.
Appeasement of a ratbag has been tried before, and it failed. No need for pecks on the cheek, and warmly hugs and handshakes for Hanson, it will not change her bigoted attitude one bit. Then again I can't but help believing you and others support that bigoted attitude.

Tony Lavis,

I don't know what you call 'swamped', but there are certainly a lot of Asians living in Australia, so PH could have been right, depending on where you live and what you actually notice. Are they any trouble? No, most of them make good migrants, and most of them came from within our region. They respect the law, like most Australians; they work, they speak English and, what ever they do in the privacy of their own homes, they are normal, respected citizens in public life.

Because Pauline Hanson was, perhaps, wrong about Asians (and I believe she now realises that) she is not necessarily wrong about Muslims who, in the main, are just the opposite of what I said about Asians. Most Muslims do not fit in.

However, for the sake of diplomacy, and the individuals who are trying to fit in (we have to remember that these people were brought up from childhood with dogma drummed into them, just as we were, but with knowing of alternatives later on,as we were) Hanson should have addressed Islam, not Muslims. Given the chance, many Muslims could find that they prefer our way of life. And they have the right to do so,here.

No disrespect to you Paul,
But its becoming more and more apparent to me that the left are like the kids at school that got picked on.
They sought power and payback and became the bullies.

Instead of 'greasy wog' he should have gone with 'angry spiteful wog', or maybe just 'pathetic PTSD wog'.

Isn't this the Soros shill that hired slaves for $150 a week?
Unaustralian bastard.

Paul1405,

The Hilton Hotel bomber was an intelligent, well-educated young man from a cosseted background, with a permanent job in the federal public service (then Social Security) who was a member of the public service clerical union and yes, indisputably, he was a leftist. He couldn't accept the simple fact that his opinion didn't always rule.

That he was eventually found and used by Ananda Marga proves the point being made.

It is outrageous, despicable, that by their actions the Greens Senators have discredited the AVAILABLE, normal democratic avenues and the apex of it all, the federal Senate, as a means to be heard and to integrate.

The Senate and in fact the House of Representatives should be making it very plain to the idiotic, grandstanding, serial protesting Greens jackasses that the Greens walk-out from the Senate was very stupid indeed and intolerable and could only serve to discredit the Parliament and lower its credibility.

Shame, Greens, shame!

Not sure about the effects of Conroy retiring, but if there is a by-election, my tip is PH will take the seat as she is the only one sticking up for Australians rights.

Do you people honestly believe that if the time comes for Muslims to choose between us or them, they will choose us. Get a grip people.

Beach, all I can say is your postings on Greens walking out on Hanson is a load of indignant self righteous clap trap. No Senator has to sit to attention, and politely listen as another raves on with rubbish. As was the case with Hanson, she wasn't speaking on any important legislation, just doing a bit of ill-informed raving. If your going to carry on about polititions not listening to others in the house, its common practice for the chamber to be almost empty at times when someone is speaking. In the case of Liberals they are known to take an early early mark, for an extra long long weekend just ask Turnbull.
I like your description of a lefty "a member of the public service clerical union and yes, indisputably, he was a leftist." Yep, that certainly proves it!
