It looks like this is the situation that those on the left are concerned about. Looks like a left beat up.

I think that the left are trying to stop Blair Cottrell from speaking in the media "about immigration". Given that the media is already left it's not that hard. Sad for the Australian people- If they're smart they will pressure Sky to reinstate the journalist. You can't expect the "Trotsky Left" to play fair. Good on them for their tactics- they appear to have been successful- but don't expect them to care about Australians- they are idealists that believe in smoothing out humanity and making them all the same- no families, no genders, no cultures, no countries- a John Lennon world... will be much more ethnocentric than Nazism.
Australia is probably better without Berkshire Hathaway's "American Express" anyway- I guess we now know which side of the "Globalization vs Localization" battle Warren Buffett is on. Armchair Critic previously directed me to information on Amazon's Jeff Bezos and his influence over US computer systems. Its concerning that so many of these extremely powerful business people seem to be on the side of the socialists/ globalists. Interesting that the Australian born Rupert Murdock owned Sky Media gave access to Blair Cottrell- maybe it's because Rupert Murdoch has a vested interest in the future of Australia where as others don't. I guess there had to be battle lines drawn at some stage- it will get harder before it gets easier.

Of course removing the screens is censorship, Toni; worse, it is infantalisation of the populus, telling people there are things that they should not see or hear - preventing them from making their own judgements. It’s not about a neo-Nazi, Hitler or Mao Zedong (the Left probably wouldn’t mind the latter): it is about freedom of speech and interference of that freedom by politicians and one section of the public barking like mad dogs when any views not theirs are presented.

//I think that the left are trying to stop Blair Cottrell from speaking in the media "about immigration".//

Really? We're supposed to be concerned about Neo-Nazis' right to free speech now? Nah, bugger that. I mean, I'm all in favour of free speech and all that, but come on, seriously? Nazis? I believe that Sir Winston Churchill put it best when he said:

'F%^k Nazis.'

Or something along those lines, at any rate.

Does anybody else remember the good old days when Nazis where a target of mockery rather fawning adulation? I miss those days.

Except nobody's actually done that, have they? Sky News will still be going to air, they're not telling people not to watch it, and people are still free to make their own judgements about watching it.

They'll just have to watch it on their own screen, like the rest of us plebs who don't have State governments generous enough to furnish their train stations with TVs in the first place. Poor deprived little commuters, how will they cope without their TV's to watch? Oh yeah... the same way the rest of us do and have been doing since they invented the railway. Personally, I take a book.

I'm really having a hard time seeing what all the big song and dance is about.

Toni,

"..Personally, I take a book."

Right with you on this.
