ttbn, other than by the extreme right Hanson stands condemned from all sides. Brandis answered her puerile questions with a firm and unequivocal, NO!
Give the racists attitudes displayed by some, I am sure they loudly applied such stupid grandstanding. I also note the woman's lack of competency, almost incoherent, when attempting to answer questions, a definite indicator of low intelligence on her part.

Hansons stunt was not nearly repulsive than that of peverts wearing religious outfits at Mardi gras. No doubt the likes of Greens and Brandis applaud these pervert. Croc tears!

Gauwd some people show ignorance.
The burqa is NOT an Islamic garment !
It is an Arab garment. Most moslems DO NOT WEAR IT !
Arabs and Afghans wear it.
Got it, understand now ?

However you all take yourself too seriously.
I thought it was hilarious !
When she first walked in they all sat there like stunned mullets.
Then Brandis got up and pontificated no end to complete the joke.
The whole thing was so ironic, it was the best thing that has happened
in parliament this year.

Dear Shadow Minister,

You charged;

“you adopt the standard left whinge tactics of the ad-hominem”

Left whinge? Well the gloves didn't remain off for long did they. Okay then.

I directly answered a question from Foxy about the origin of the figures quoted by one of the trio of resident rightwing nutjobs. I made an observation about his language and when Foxy opinined;

“Of course I imagine that none of this is important to either Mr Bernardi or some other politicians. Getting voter support is what they're after.”

I concurred, supplying a quote from his wife to solidify the point Foxy was making. You have chosen to deem this an attack on him. Your right-whinge sycophantic scramble to find the slightest offense at innoculous comments just so you can engage in some mindless rant about ad-hominem attacks to deflect from any substantive points is purile in the extreme.

Why on earth do you do this? Are your possible arguments so bereft that calling us left whingers is the only possible retort? Grow up mate.

Finally what is this?

“Finally, having trawled through the ABS stats about a year ago what I saw pretty much agrees with what CB stated.”

Absolute garbage my friend. There is nothing in those statistic which would give you any evidence for what good old Cory was spouting. Disagree? Well put up or shut up.

Paul,

Sorry, but you seem to distressed and incoherent. You imagine "all sides" condemn Hanson. This is not true, as evidenced by the telecast from the Senate. You continue to talk about 'racism', but Hanson's performance was aimed at the Muslim religion, not a particular race of people. The best thing for other Senators to have done was to ignore her; instead, they became emotional and made bigger fools of themselves than she did. The biggest fool was Brandis, and the confected outrage and sanctimony from the Opposition and cross benches was nothing short of absurd.
