'Jesus Chrysler' these bastards make me really mad with all this hyperbole they engender, trying hard to create an 'atmosphere' of suspicion and hatred. Civil War what's this boof-head talking about? If 'she' was a 'He' I'd be more than happy to assist in re-aligning the cartilage of his nose for him.

Is she's deliberately trying to stir-up trouble well, she's perilously close to committing a criminal offence. Ill-advised for sure; although said with the privilege of Parliament I realise. Or is she just trying hard to be relevant?

Another imbecilic 'Green'; one more friggin' parasite or scrounger, you'll usually find stuck hard to the sole of your shoe, to sit in our already cluttered and troubled Senate. Do away with the Senate and all the 'kowtower's & 'grovellers' in it. Save for a couple of really good people; And you'll have an elected government of either Party, do what they're elected to do - Govern.

The grubby ex-copper pops in to vent his spleen on Mehreen Faruqi, No doubt the bloke has neither listened to, or read a transcript of her speech.But he does know she is a Green, and that's enough said for the ex-flatfoot, and member of the forums extreme right.

Still thinks he's swing his night stick at the head of some unsuspecting sod. //Is she's deliberately trying to stir-up trouble// well if YOU had taken the time to hear or read what Mehreen actually had to say we would possible not be subjected to another one of your Mr Tough Guy violence inspired rants. //I'd be more than happy to assist in re-aligning the cartilage of his nose for him.// I understand as a person of violence, you are apt to offer in the first instance, that as the cure all for those you disagree with. Pathetic!

As for this //she's perilously close to committing a criminal offence// Fella, you are full of it. Laughable!

so so ironic that the Greens back the muslims. No doubt they are aware of how those practicing sodomy are treated in Islamic nations.

runner, what would they do with your high priests that like to bugger young children? Like you, would they sweep it under the carpet, and send them to more fertile grounds.

Has anybody actually listened to Senator Mehreen Faruqi's
maiden speech in the Senate - prior to posting here?

She did point out the legitimisation and normalisation of
racism in Australia. Which was fair enough considering
that as a Muslim professional she had experienced many, many,
personal attacks in the past and then having listened to
Fraser Anning's speech a week ago. However, she also stressed
the fact that "We can build a future for each and every one
of us."

Her speech was fair and inclusive - and those criticising
her obviously could not have listened to what she had to
say. Its people like Fraser Anning that are divisive and
cause trouble in our community. Not Senators like Mehreen
Faruqi. Also I imagine that she won her Senate seat
legitimately - unlike Fraser Anning and his nineteen votes.

you seem to be obsessed with 'high priests that like to bugger young children' You really should get your mind out of the gutter. Then again the Greens are into everything 'diverse'. Didn't one of recent recruits write a paper at uni on bestiality?. I suspect the 'high priest' you refer to are likely to vote Green.
