Paul1405,
What, no more amateur funnyman from the Greens Eastern Bloc Joker? Agreed that tonight's Q&A appears the odd man out as far as the panel composition is concerned. So it is easy to understand why you are losing the plot. However Tony Jones with the hidden, faceless puppeteers behind his earphone, the audience questions they have already 'helped'(sic) draft, the adroit stage-management (how much of Q&A isn't scripted? LOL) and the sly 'random'(another belly laugh at that) twitter messages an artifice to interrupt the viewers concentration will counteract the apparent normality of this one, rather unique concession to providing a public service. -As opposed to the ABC management's leftist 'Progressive' elite presuming to 'educate' what they construe as a bovine public, too stupid to ever know what is good for them. This Q&A program might be the exception to the rule, but all of he hidden, unaccountable influencers who have directed the program to promoting the political agenda of leftist 'Progressivism' (regressivism), remain. With their amply demonstrated history of spruiking, as examples, hatred of 'Whites' (werll, Angle-Celtic ones anyhow, hence the endless diversity to disrupt them and their institutions), Gay Pride, radical feminism, the futures of Emily's Listers and so on. So Paul 1405, how are the war plans progressing at the Greens Eastern Bloc to flood the media with complaints about Q&A not having 'real' Muslim experts on the panel? Or for even allowing the leftist-despised Ayaan Hirsi Ali to speak? Posted by leoj, Monday, 3 April 2017 11:32:16 AM

Hi Leoj,
If what Ayaan Hirsi Ali has been opposing is conservative, medieval, backward and reactionary, I can't understand why the 'Left' doesn't see her as a progressive alternative, an ally, a breath of fresh air blowing on stale and rotten dogma, a questioner rather than an acceptor, and therefore on the Left ? What does the word mean otherwise ? Does one have to defend or champion the most vile philosophies to be counted as 'Left' these days ? Maybe we should never use words like 'Left' and 'Right' ever again, but talk of 'progressive' (and surely Ayaan is that ?) and 'reactionary', with 'conservative' somewhere in the middle to signify people's point of view that you don't change something if its alternative may be worse. Surely Hizt-ut-Tahrir, or anybody who calls for the use of terror, is reactionary ? Surely calls for reform and change of backward doctrines such as Islam is progressive (and long overdue) ? I really can't understand where the 'Left' is heading these days. As my old grandmother would say, what happened to its nuts ? Cheers, Joe Posted by Loudmouth, Monday, 3 April 2017 12:55:49 PM

Dear Joe,
Devastating news. Ayaan Hirsi Ali has cancelled her Australian tour including her appearance on Q&A tonight. So disappointing. I was really looking forward to watching Q&A. Security was one of the reasons given for the last minute cancellation: http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/tv-and-radio/controversial-islam-critic-hirsi-ali-cancels-tour-and-scheduled-qa-appearance-20170403-gvc6k3.html Perhaps the best reaction to this would be to buy her latest book - "Heretic," and pass it on to family and friends.

Dearest Foxy,
Good idea. It is really disappointing that bullying and terror tactics can win so easily. Perhaps there will be joint rallies of Hizb-ut-Tahrir and sections of the 'Left', maybe the Trots, to celebrate. Sometimes you think that the world is full of useful idiots. Well, yes, of course it is. Love, Joe Posted by Loudmouth, Monday, 3 April 2017 2:00:51 PM

Sad news that a tour of Australia is too dangerous for a human rights campaigner.
Disgusting that some media outlets including the ABC refer to Ayaan Hirsi Ali as a 'controversial' figure. If the editors and producers of print and electronic media regard what she says as 'controversial', then heaven help Australia. What arrogance and hypocrisy.

But even you would have to agree that tonight's Q & A panel is unusually balanced ?
You might be interested to know, by the way, that Drumpf has signed into law,
“An Act to name the Department of Veterans Affairs community-based outpatient clinic in Pago Pago, American Samoa, the Faleomavaega Eni Fa'aua'a Hunkin VA Clinic.”
Faleomavaega Eni Fa'aua'a Hunkin was the lieutenant-Governor of American Samoa and US Congress member, a Mormon and a strong supporter of Drumpf; he passed away about six weeks ago. Who said there are no benefits in the afterlife ?
I suppose there will be the usual suspects in the audience tonight ?
Cheers,
Joe
