Sorry ttbn, obviously you believe parliament should be the exclusive bastion of white Anglo Saxon males, preferably over the age of 70. Is that correct?

Paul,

You don't know what I “obviously” believe. I said that Australia is being ‘deAnglicised’. Fact. There is a deliberate policy of multiculturalism in Australia. Fact. The name 'Sharma’ is subcontinental. Fact. You agree that Mr. Sharma is of Indian race. Fact. You provide further information that Mr. Sharma is not Australian-born: thankyou, I accept that further fact.

I gave no opinion on which people I think should be in parliament; you are surmising that I have some sort of list. I know that you don't agree with my opinions on anything; but disagreeing with facts?

Hi Paul,

Malcolm Turnbull has stated in the past
that Australia was "The most successful
multicultural society in the world".
However, that success has not transferred to the seats
of our highest representatives in Parliament. 70% of
Malcolm Turnbull's own Cabinet had "Australian only" parents.

According to the Australian Human Rights
Commission 95% of Parliamentarians come from Anglo-Celtic-
European backgrounds.

Our Parliament is therefore overwhelmingly white and male,
and chronically under represents a growing Asian population
whilst it overemphasises the population of Australian-born
with British and European heritages.

We've had conversations about gender - but not cultural
representation and political parties have not regarded this
as an issue requiring special attention.

Perhaps it is time that this changed?

Hi Paul,

Talking about facts:

ttbn needs to re- read his comments on page 9, of this
discussion - where he states that:

"So, no token woman, (not fact)
just someone with a multicultural name(sic),
never before heard before of by voters Wentworth (not fact).
Another factional stooge (not fact) - no more suited to
represent Wentworth (not fact) than the local dog-catcher(not
fact). A loss for woeman whisperer - Morrison this early in
his reign (not fact)."

ttbn's comments are certainly clear to most people.

ttbn,

See,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Sharma
for a snapshot of this very Anglicized bloke, born in Canada and of Indian heritage, something he shares with all of us other Indo Europeans.

He is hardly unknown, had you done some research you'd never have made that blooper.

He'll probably be elected and will be as outstanding as a politician as he has been in everything else that he undertakes.

His 100% in the HSC was a good start.

I've just take a peek at Mr SHARMA'S Wikipedia background. He's one very smart gentleman for sure. In fact when you compare yourself with a bloke like him, you quickly realise how wanting you really are yourself. 100% in the HSC is amazing. I guess he possesses an IQ, of equally impressive proportions, circa above 150 - 160 perhaps?

My only worry if you will; might he be a professional student, amassing degrees and honours ad infinitum, to a point he has more degrees then the Masonic Lodge. He obviously didn't like medicine? Perhaps he should've looked more closely at the course, before commencing, rather than completing a year, thus denying another, from pursuing medicine as a career. Who knows? Anyway he's certainly smart enough to represent his new Electorate after Mr TURNBULL vacated his seat.

Still, does he have sufficient common 'dog f..k' together with his combined intellectual achievements, to do a good job for the LNP for the Wentworth Electorate. I guess well have to wait and see?
