In Quadrant Online this morning there is an editor's note about a 2008 ABC interview with Yassmin Abdel Magied's mother, who related going with the then little Yassmin and an adult friend to a bank, where Yassmin was "shouting and screaming”, and the friend say: “How about pretending she's not yours. You're not the mother of this horrible child”.
It seems that Yassmin, as a young adult, hasn't changed much. Posted by ttbn, Thursday, 27 April 2017 2:24:31 PM

ttbn, why do you think she hasn't changed much?
She's not the one shouting and screaming now! Posted by Aidan, Thursday, 27 April 2017 2:57:19 PM

AC,
"The 'I did your mum' clause states that 'You CAN exercise your right to free speech' but be aware that the other person can also 'exercise their right to break your jaw'." Well, no, that would be assault and earn you some jail time. There is no 'right to break someone's jaw'. Yes, that silly girl is entitled, like anyone else, to express herself - and show everybody what an idiot she is. Let idiots speak, I say. Joe Posted by Loudmouth, Thursday, 27 April 2017 4:17:49 PM

Dear Joe,
Here's a link that puts another slant on things. It's worth a read if only to try to broaden this discussion: http://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/news-and-views/opinion/hysteria-over-yassmin-abdelmagieds-anzac-day-post-cannot-be-separated-from-racism-20170427-gvtjdj.html Posted by Foxy, Thursday, 27 April 2017 6:39:08 PM

Hey Loudmouth,
"Well, no, that would be assault and earn you some jail time. There is no 'right to break someone's jaw'." No, not technically, but standing there with your jaw busted up and spitting out teeth and blood saying "e ad no wight" do you think anyone will care? Granted they might think it was a bit harsh but I guarantee everyone will quietly be thinking to themselves that you shouldn't have opened your big mouth. 'Did you foolishly believe you enjoyed an invisible wall of protection and were immune from physical harm at the point you were shooting off your big mouth' you may come to ask yourself later on; when laying in hospital thinking your future dental appointments over. I'm not defending a 'right' to break anyone jaw by the way; I'm just trying to illustrate the idea that you CAN say whatever you want, but you RISK repercussions if you choose cross a line. Yassmin crossed a line and learnt a harsh lesson. Don't mess with ANZAC's on ANZAC Day. And I'd defend her right to free speech on any other topic on any other day, just so you know. Even though I'm well aware that she's used to deliberately push a global agenda I completely disagree with. Posted by Armchair Critic, Thursday, 27 April 2017 7:06:08 PM

Cultural difference, cultural sensitivities...Australians this, Australians that and force fed drivel in the form of integration, 'Harmony Days' & so called respect for others views and practices...yaddah yaddah.
But it is all one way - in the favour of the multicultural industry and its myriad parasites sucking the taxpayers teat. So when is the electorate going to wake up and write/email/telephone their local/state/federal member and exercise their constitutional right and express "their will"...?
Public opinion becoming policy based upon a few noisy yobbos in cities does not make democracy and the current crop of pollies know this, which is why Hanson's "citizenship test" has been initiated by PM Turnbull. All of them running scared at losing just one 'Land Rights for Left Handed Harps Seals' vote.
