Foxy,

Thanks for letting me know that you agree with someone called Murray Hunter. I remain comfortable with my own sources and experience.

All the best.

ttbn, are you not a disciple of the drawer of caricatures. and purveyor of horse racing systems, that right wing embarrassment Larry Pickering? If you ever want the good oil on aboriginals, gays, Muslims or any other minority that takes your fancy, Larry is sure to provide it in his ever sarcastic way through that oft quoted 'Pickering Post'.

Foxy,

Once again you quote Independent Australia, and they leave you looking stupid with the crap they post.

Firstly a monopoly is a single entity controlling nearly the entire supply or market for a product. None of the examples they quote is correct as even in Aus there are many players.

That mines cost many $bns to develop takes giant companies. Similarly, the 4 big banks compete with each other and smaller lending institutions. Also, NewsCorp does not control 80% of the papers, more like 70% of the paper sales, not because of predatory practices, but because readers prefer their offerings.

Next, the "cultural Marxism" that the IA and SMH were declaring non-existent is alive and well at Sydney Uni, but probably not as well ensconced as in the US and the EU. However, cultural Marxism is not traditional Marxism rather a ratbag of extremist tenets such as 3rd wave feminism, identity politics with a smattering of socialism.

An example would be:

https://www.theaustralian.com.au/higher-education/race-gender-politics-swamp-great-debate/news-story/27abe9ee6cae87b9ea5ed7865e483723

"The politics of race and gender have arrived at the University of Sydney’s oldest debating club, which this year will field teams of debaters comprised mainly of “non-cis-males, wom*n, and persons marginalised by white ­supremacy” as opposed to the best debaters they can find.

The University of Sydney Union, which describes itself as “one of the best debating ­institutions in the world”, says its affirmative action policy will ­ensure that teams heading to the Australian Easter Debating Championships (or “Easters”) for novices next month will include more “persons of colour” and others from “minority ethnocultural background” as well as born-women, and others who don’t identify as “cis-male”."

However, most of these idiots are forced to grow up when they leave uni and they are mugged by reality, with the exception of a few morons that seek refuge with the greens.
