The link was a review of the book by the
Sydney Review of Books. I read it prior to
giving the link and thought it appropriate
for posters to read the review for themselves.
I found it interesting and assumed that others would
also.

no need to burn the origin of species Paul. Why destroy the proof of total stupidity. Need to be left for any thinking person to see what utter rubbish god deniers are prepared to swallow.

The Wheeler Centre- apparently part of the State Library Of Victoria- gave $100K and the $25,000 non-fiction prize in the Victorian Premier's Literary Awards. It just serves to emphasize Labor soft on refugees policy compared with the Liberal National Party Coalition.

It's interesting that the Labor Party is happy to show disunity with the National Government in the eyes of the world- even on things that are not in it's jurisdiction. Perhaps it indicates how extreme left strategy is influencing even moderate parties contemporarily.

The Wheeler Centre appears at first glance to be biased vastly in favour of the "extreme left"- though to be fair I need more research to confirm this. Not sure why this organization has been given space at the Victorian State Library in the Eastern Wing.

Reminds me of Ayn Rand's- Altas Shrugged style "moochers"- a good argument for Reagan style small government. I guess politics moves in cycles.

I don't agree with Ayn Rand as she is an Economic Liberal but she does make some good points (I see conservatism ie tradition rather than freedom- as a viewpoint that is more in the interest of the Australian people).

Least Australia will finally get something back from a refugee, he will have to pay tax on it.

Technically he came illegally which was a crime then wrote a book about it, so take it all back as proceeds of crime.

Interesting to see what happens.

He did not come "illegally."
