To suggest illegal asylum seeking country shoppers on Nauru or Manus deserve the same recognition or consideration as our returned & fallen servicemen do on Anzac Day is a load of bollocks.

this comment by you is particularly offensive...  why do you have this NEED to denigrate. 

IMHO???....
Her words were meant to bring minds BACK from the wonder and recognition of the greatness of the fallen, so long ago now .. to the reality of how, today, this Country uses their very sacrifice for freedom from fascism!!   
to have their own little Nazi Party. .

You do have a point there...

..... but I'd phrase it "some in this Country use their very sacrifice for freedom from fascism!!   
to have their own little Nazi Party."......

It is a great historical truth that nations whose people rise up and divest themselves of despotic government, always return to that form of government themselves, and there is little to no difference between 'left' and 'right' despotic governments..... the core issue is who controls in the nation - the government at the will of the people or the people at the will of the government (think about it).

I've characterised this elsewhere as the eternal civil war between government and people.... at the moment we are seeing a resurgence of people power, headless and directionless and formless and composed of various dissenting and even increasingly 'underground' groups, often driven not by any solid ideology or theory and certainly not operating as a co-ordinated whole*, but simply acting out their dissent.

I fairly place many in the underground arms market(s) here in that category; unfortunately, of course, such a path leads into criminalism..... but one man's freedom fighter is another man's criminal.... ask any Aboriginal youth about that in their permanent state of rebellion ...... such do not view themselves as criminals, but more as 'freedom fighters' getting their own back on Whitey....

*the future for a Great Leader, a Messiah, will be to combine these dissenting groups into a bloc and thus create a force that will remove the current despotism...

Of course ..... a response not unexpected.

"illegal asylum seeking country shoppers"   

There's nothing illegal about asylum seeking, OR country shopping.

You ignorant doofus

Oh, this has been about standing up for Australia Day?

Can we have this man fired from his job and ejected from the country? 



Or is it some how different? 

White Christian man spouting anti-gay and anti-islamic messages on ANZAC day is fine then?

So the issue doesn't have anything to do with ANZAC day but just to do with the person making the tweet then?

I thought so.

...he served 32 years in the army so he's kind of qualified

he is qualified to speak for what he fought for, not anyone else.

Are our taxes paying for his world tours to promote his new book?

You are correct. Voluntarily leaving the country is completely different from being ejected, not matter how hysterically you cry victimhood on the way out.
