Saudi Arabia - Would I support such a boycott even though it may impact this country with higher oil prices?
In theory and principle I certainly would support considering it, though in truth I lack sufficent knowledge of the potential repercussions to make that call.
A different question might be 'Am I willing to cut my nose off to spite my face over principles?'
Well principles go out the window when people begin to starve, and I'd be very reluctant to do anything that would affect Aussies ability to go to work and put food on their own tables.
I may buy their oil, because that doesn't mean I have to embrace their culture.
If they think it does and they mistakenly think we need them and they can influence our domestic issues, then it's bye bye oil.
Regards spending money on Indonesian schools.
Nope, not one cent.
It's not our governments job to re-educate foreign citizens.
It's job is to protect Australians whilst build and manage our nation.
If Aussies are at risk in Indonesia then Aussies shouldn't go there.
These foreign aid system are just organised theft of citizens to pay for criminal foreign endeavours in support of globalism.
"Do you want hate speech delivered from the pulpits of our mosques and our churches sanction?"
No, not particularly, but that issue's a double edged sword.
Limiting speech (and the idea that its ok so do so under some circumstances) can be used to stifle good discussion as mush as bad.
How often does the so called liberal left scream "Hate Speech" to silence others opinions?
And yes sorry ttbn, for kind of hijacking your thread...
