News you're not supposed to hear on the 'Politicians Suck' thread.

Islam sub forum, perhaps.

Are people going to stop buying Dulux paints because for years it's chief advertiser was Rolf Harris. Of course not.

Is the product good? Is the news correct?

That's all you need concern yourself with.

British Paints, Walter.

I'm sure in real life people like Pickering, Bolt, Alan Jones and Co would probably irritate me, but even so they all perform a very important service that our Opposition parties have long since abandoned as political suicide to their chances of re-election.

The notorious 'Ethnic Vote' has the major parties by the short-and-curlies in fear of losing elections should they say a wrong word ~ and it's now only a case of those whose jobs are not at risk from ethnic backlash who are game to broach these 'taboo' subjects as radio jock and tabloid commentators.

There you go again with the gratuitous name-calling. Turning out to be one of the worst serial-offenders we've seen in a long time here.

"... bigots ... ".

So what do we call someone who wants to halt any further immigration of legitimate refugees and migrants for the foreseeable future?

I wonder what our immigrants would think of someone who advocates this.

Our Chinese, our Muslims, our Pacific Islanders, the refugees who now live among us ... tell them your opinion and see what they say.

Glass houses.

They will tell you that anyone who says that all immigration and refugees influx should be suspended indefinitely is someone of the Far Right.

But we won't be holding our breath waiting for you to ask the Leftwingers on this forum what they think of your suggestion.

        Since you seem to have missed my reasons for wanting an end to the forced growth of the population I'll reiterate them.

          I believe that the population of Australia is already TOO high for the infrastructure and services we currently have to support it. I believe that we need to call a halt to the intake of more, for whatever excuse, until such time as we have built, or rebuilt, that infrastructure and those services. I believe that that intake is only foisted on us to enable business to attempt to follow it's fallacious eternal growth model, despite any and all problems this creates for society. I believe that BOTH the major party's have sold out to business, purely for their own greed, and that until such time as we the people succeed in regaining control of our Nation, if we can, we will continue to suffer the consequences of this corruption, which go well beyond just forced population growth.
        I dislike Leftwingers as heartily as I dislike Rightwingers, that game of "good cop/bad cop" is being played on us to distract and disable our legitimate political and social aspirations.
         Anyone on this forum is free to comment on my expressed opinions and thoughts, there is no apparent need to ask, you certainly don't see that need, and nor do I. That is the purpose of being here after all, isn't it?

   Bigot:
            Bigotry is the state of mind of a bigot: someone who, as a result of their prejudices, treats or views other people with fear, distrust or hatred on the basis of a person's ethnicity, evaluative orientation, race, religion, national origin, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, socioeconomic status, or other characteristics.

      Since the rightists here regularly display these prejudices in their posts I feel my use of that word is entirely justified and defensible, it is not an insult, it is a definition.

     I hope you now have a clearer picture of my stance, if I had to define it at all I would call myself a rational realist, but my preferred term is simply, an honest Aussie.

     Allow me to put it more bluntly

           I don't care whether you're a middle-class New York Jew, a Buddhist Chinese millionaire, an Afghani refugee, a British Christian playwright or even a purple-spotted Jamaican Rastafarian,...copulate off, we're replete!
