Claims of racism haunt NT's CLP The Aboriginal Northern Territory MP Alison Anderson says she and two of her collegues were racially slurred during a Country Liberal Party meeting. Last month in the wake of the successful Blaine by-election, members of the Country Liberal Party held a phone hookup, during which the comments were said to have been made. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-05-06/claims-of-racism-haunt-nts-clp/5434710?section=nsw

What were the comments?

It would be hard for racism to thrive in inner city suburbs full of greenies and leftie intellectuals as these people never speak to aborigines.
the closest they come to an aborigine is when they throw their used takeaway starbucks cup in a dumpster and hit a homeless aborigine on the head (en route to their inner city air conditioned condo to watch Q and A and feel all morally superior)

That is the sort of racism that plagues the Liberal Party and its supporters. You assume that there are no successful educated Aborigines in the cities. The opposite is true. There are Aborigines graduating with masters and phd from the most prestigious universities in Australia. Some Aborigines are even lecturers at university.

As comments go on this worn out topic


I like the above the best !

Anyone north of the tropic of capricorn would be considered "racist" by those in the south, simply because they experience the behaviour of aborigines.

I'll second that. That post is a ripper. I hold the same opinion of inner city trendites.

I guess that statement just proves that racist people truly are ignorant. Most people of Aboriginal descent live south of the tropics.

Yeah, but I mean real abos. 

Not sure what youre trying to show with the graph though.  There might be pockets of people of (dubious) aboriginality in the cities, but thankfully they can be avoided for the most part.  This means that "aborigines" are more of a theoretical concept than actual people to interact with to the ivory tower set.  Ain't no avoiding them up here...although you do have to make an effort to when they pass out drunk in the middle of the road.

Let's ask the ABC Jakarta correspondent. He told us about the Australian Navy seamen burning the hands of alleged refugees and asylum shoppers. He should be full bottle on racism in the Lib-NP mob.

Has that whacker still got a job?  Well maybe not after budget night..... ;D

Isn't that the sort of racism that got Andrew Bolt in trouble?

          Don't believe a word that Anderson woman says, she's a standing joke in the Territory, she rips off the Indig', is totally freak-out abusive to anyone who questions her will, and she lies through her teeth all the time, to say she has the morals of an alley-cat is a deathly insult to such felines.
        She's nothing more than an ill-tempered self-serving opportunist with all the ethical integrity of an Afghani brothel-keeper.

WILL OCKENDEN: Former CLP deputy treasurer Eli Melky was on the call, and says derogatory comments were made, but he wouldn't go into exactly what was said or by whom. Since the call, he, like Alison Anderson, has also defected to the Palmer United Party. ELI MELKY: The terms that were used were certainly absolutely discriminatory and disgusting really and racist. The level of abuse was quite widespread throughout the meeting and it seemed to be a bit of a kangaroo court really... http://www.abc.net.au/pm/content/2014/s3999092.htm
