Ironical isn’t it? ANZAC day is supposed to be in honour of the memory of those who fought and died for King, country and freedom, and they fought Muslims — you know, Ragheads, Sandhoppers, camel jockeys — people who couldn’t fight, people without courage, and yet although the British/Australian/ New Zealand troops were backed by far heavier weapons than the Turks had available to them, the Muslims won.

But I digress, Yassmin Abdel-Magied in the spirit of ANZAC spirit, celebrating the cause of freedom reminded Australians that the that they enjoyed had not been extended to others, that indeed Australia was in breach of international law in indefinitely incarcerating refugees offshore.

The result has been a torrent of abuse, of how she has insulted ANZAC’s those intrepid souls who fought and died so that Australians could be free!

I think it is the abusers who misunderstand the significance of the Anzac’s sacrifice. The abusers who fail to understand that to be free, all people, everywhere must be free.

Too me this is proof the whole system we are controlled under (legal - political) is biased against Australians.

Teenager avoids jail for sex attacks due to 'cultural differences'

The court heard the teenager, who cannot be named, pleaded guilty to assaulting eight women and girls on a Surfers Paradise beach in January 2016.

The judge accepted that seeing girls in bikinis is different to the environment in which he grew up.

The teen, who lives in Victoria, is now on two years probation with no conviction.

I remember there was another case similar to this few years ago the excuse used was cultural differences got a slap on the wrist.

If culture of people can potentially use excuses like this they should NEVER have been let into the country in the first place.

//One wonders how anyone with such a lack of awareness and good manners ever managed to graduate from whatever school of journalism in which she studied.

Perhaps it was an Islamic Ladies College.//

She holds a degree in mechanical engineering (university of queensland), not a degree in journalism.

She went to the Islamic College of Brisbane for primary school, and John Paul College for high school. You might assume from the name that John Paul College is Catholic, but it's just generally Christian.

So maybe it was the Christians that are to blame.

Oh! The indignation of the rabid right, including those on the forum. The shock horror of it all. The ire of the likes of Pauline Hanson and Alan Jones has been raised against Yassmin Abdel-Magied, demanding her immediate sacking from the ABC for un-Australian activity, posting on 'Facebook' with insensitive comment. Was Yassmin correct in what she said? The truth is that in any war, non combatants become just as much victims of that war as do those fighting it. She obviously feels strongly about the plight of asylum seekers and refugees, and she has every right. She also has the right to express her opinion on how best ANZAC Day can be "celebrated", not that there is anything to celebrate. As a pacifists I treat ANZAC Day as a day of remembrance for all the victims of all the bloody stupid wars ever fought.
There are those who seek to glorify war as some kind of noble and heroic endeavor of man fought only for good against evil, that is what all sides believe, nothing could be further from the truth. Malcolm Fraser described war as the result of failed diplomacy, and that is what it is, with terrible consequences for all, nothing more, nothing less.

sacking this aussie hater would simply make a martyr out of her. The lefties have a habit of worshiping people who have abhorrent views and victim mentalities. Darwin himself was a racist bigot but the Christophobes think his pseudo science helps their cause so they worship and honor him despite his irrational nonsense.

General Comment,
These journalists get it and so would the rest of Australia,

Paul1405,
That foot in your mouth doesn't prevent you from demonstrating your leftist ignorance of what ANZAC Day is all about.

The real Left would be turning in their graves with revulsion and anger at the crass attention-seeking, palpable ignorance and utter stupidity of the 'Progressive' (Regressive) leftists.
