'Julian Burnside Q.C. is running on the "Greens"ticket
against Josh Frydenberg in the safe Liberal seat
of Kooyong here in Melbourne.'

yes Foxy very much an abc luvvie and certainly part of the swamp.

We shouldn't allow immigrants neither skilled or refugees - they need to fix the problems in their own countries. We need to reduce population in the world. Pollution, Environmental Damage, Extinction Rates in species and human tribes would be reduced if there was lower population. There are wars over fresh water and oil. People would be more valued too. People need to be rewarded for good behavior- or as Ayn Rand said there is the philosophy of life and death.

What a stunt it was reopening Christmas Island detention centre. It shows this desperate government will spare no (taxpayer) expense in its futile attempts to win votes. What a joke it was to see Scum O' again at great (taxpayer) expense "inspecting" the installation. I would not have been a bit surprised if Scum O' had not turned up in battle fatigues looking like some Colonel Klink character to inspect the local militia in the trenches behind the sandbags. And with the voice of authority Colonel Scum O' could have given a pep talk to the lads; "Keep a sharp lookout men, the Injins are just over the horizen, they're on their way! I expect every last man to do his duty!"...."bye, bye, men, I gota fly." so said the 'Brickwall'.

So arrogant has the dingbat Left become that they think that anything with a pulse can roll a sitting Liberal member. While the Liberals don't deserve to be reelected, most people have never heard of the Australia-hating elitist, Julian Burnside, who looked like a fish out of water, strolling among real people yesterday; and what about another lawyer and elitist unknown outside the Olympic skiing circle. Now, there's person and group really at one with the plebs!

The Left has been carried away by the Phelps aberration, another one who is not used to public service, only into the elitist AMA, other woman and illegals on Nauru. She has wrecked our border security, and has thus far shown no interest in Australia or the Australians paying her. The fact that she received fewer primary votes than the Liberal candidate doesn't look too good for her chances at the real election, particularly when most of the burghers of Wentworth will have recovered from their hissy fit over Malky, who is now showing what a childish prick he really is.

These oh-so-smug Reds would do well to remember that Hilary Clinton was a shoo in for POTUS, and that Donald Trump was just a joke popular only with rednecks.

Dear Hassie,

Migrants who have come to this country have always
been able to find jobs, educate their children,
and contribute. Many have
set up businesses and provided employment for others.
The biggest dole bludgers have been the locals.
So blaming asylum seekers for things is just plain wrong.
The growth of this country has been built on migration and
the contribution of migrants.

Part of the current Liberal tactics of scare-mongering
doesn't work for most people. And, by the way - migrants
learn to speak English. Many of whom end up
speaking better than the locals - and some end up in
professions teaching the locals. When English-speakers
travel overseas they expect the locals to speak English
and understand them. Few make the effort to learn some
of the languages of the countries they visit. This is
noticeable - on TV programs.

runner,

It's rather a blinkered view that you and some others
seem to have of Julian Burnside, and you seem to judge
the man not by his actions but are influenced by bias
and politics. The man was awarded the Sydney Peace
Prize in 2014 and he was made an Officer of the Order
of Australia in 2009. He's a human rights and refugee
advocate, a barrister, an author. He's provided legal
counsel in a wide variety of high-profile legal cases.
Judge him by
his work, not what you read in NewsCorp.
