@ShiannonC Typical Australian!

Janet Albrechtsen is a cancerous piece of work. If you believe any of her past history she’s always been a bit of a poisonous toad. Magnanimously, here Albrechtsen is ‘feeling sorry for Laura Tingle for missing the richness of this migrant country.” Believe it or not, this has nothing to do with Tingle’s statement about Australia being a “racist country”.. but Albrechtsen wants you to believe it does. Tingle’s statement goes to the core of a considerable problem that Australia has - which has been proven time and time again via our ongoing actions towards Indigenous people for over two centuries - and our past and present documented attitudes towards migrants “of different colour” coming to this country. It is well proven to be a racist country - along with RW media running a racist-enabling rhetoric whenever it suits them. Tingle is not missing the “richness of this migrant country” at all. She is defending it. She understands how ingrained and insidious racism remains at its core here. She also understands how easily it can become inflamed. The No campaign is a case in point. Albrechtsen is undermining Tingle’s truth, her credibility and her reputation. That is what she is being paid to do. It wouldn’t matter that Albrechtsen’s words are about as credible as her support for Bruce Lehrmann against Brittany Higgins. Albrechtsen’s job is to ignore the terrible truth of our entrenched racism and paint a story of racism where it does not exist. Tingle is NOT undermining migrants and their “rich cultural history”. There is absolutely no evidence to suggest that. I’m with Laura Tingle. I understand that we are an ultimately racist country. Not only is this taken from my life experience with my father, who was part Indigenous - it is from my readings and observations over the years of attitudes towards people migrating to this country who are different in culture and different in colour. We are a suspicious and naive nation who have been unnecessarily pushed in the direction of an enabling narrative of distrust and division by those with an ideology or an agenda. We don’t have to be that way. We see it that way because it has constantly been rammed down our throats. The “Yellow Peril” and “the Reds under the bed”, “the White Australia policy”, the subjugation and incarceration of Indigenous people, the derogatory names we call immigrants and the heinous treatment of asylum seekers. It is everywhere. It is all around us. Historically, we are not a tolerant nation - but we are a multicultural nation. Instead of rejecting differences, we should be embracing diversity and differences. With that comes tolerance, empathy, respect and understanding. .. but you won’t hear any of that coming from Dutton, the coalition or the RW media or Albrechtsen if doesn’t suit their agenda. Right now it suits their agenda to wave the “racist” card above Tingle’s head - but never their own. For many millennia people have been migrating. It is difficult to determine where we actually are truly from. African migration is historically the most likely. We are in denial of our common history. Our commonality is our DNA, our blood and the fact that we are all Homo sapiens. Chew on that, Albrechtsen.

The guy who could have called those witnesses is Todd Blanche. THE GUY STANDING RIGHT NEXT TO HIM.

Rupert/Lachlan Murdoch/Nine blats now trying to force the ABC Board to sack Laura Tingle over “Australia is a racist country” remark. If an ABC current affairs editor can’t deliver impartial analysis based on years of close observation of Australian politics the ABC cannot robustly engage with audiences. Compare the work of Oakes, Carleton, O’Brien. Racist dog whistling by our constituent pollies is a well known tactic in Oz.

They told him he has to “look” more patriotic this weekend, you know, to offset the fact that he wants to suspend the Constitution and become a dictator…so like a clueless infant, he’s out there saluting anything and anyone in his path.

"Poison gas system" and a 4 wheel drive taped off by police .... Surely Police would've noticed if there was anything unusual about the car when they did first 'welfare check' #VAW #nswpol Father and boy killed in murder-suicide identified mol.im/a/13441219 via @MailOnline

An absolute bin fire.

Apologise to Minister Fentiman, apologise to all women then... resign @Ros_Bates_MP Whether you said 'close your legs' or 'cross your legs'... your intent was the same, degrading women for a cheap laugh in Parliament - vile & unprofessional. #ResignRos #Auspol

When the net migration target you plucked from thin air doesn't match the net migration target your leader plucked from thin air, and someone notices, but instead of admitting fault (or that there is no actual target), you double down, revealing that you have no idea Fantastic🙃

Peter Dutton said yesterday that the International Criminal Court is antisemitic, confirming that he doesn't understand what any of those words mean

What an irony Dutton Opposition demanding detail of CSIRO calculations of cost and timing disadvantages of Nuclear power having failed to provide any detail of their nuclear power strategy . What a joke . Their position is fanciful nonsense

@AAP68152940 @colonelhogans Remember all the criticism of PM Gillard's dress sense? These LNP fan boys in the media need to stfu about anything to do with women's appearance, esp politicians partners What happened to the "hands off pollies families"? Even when Jen was making unsubtle Qanon hand signals?

@colonelhogans He is not relevant anyway, she looked lovely, if she didn’t look lovely there would have been comments, women are always having to defend themselves, apart from it being tiring at the end of the day it is boring , go Laura

Peter Van Onlson attacking Mrs Laura Chalmers on what she was wearing? He lives in one of the wealthiest suburbs in Australia, Vaucluse on Sydney Harbour. His wife is a very very powerful and extremely high paid executive. Does she shop at Best and Less or Target for clothes to wear at board meetings????

@colonelhogans Boy oh boy I dislike it when a male flagellates a woman attending Parliament, over the expense of her Australian designed clothing. Would he prefer her in tracks dacks? How much do his suits cost? Are they Australian?

@colonelhogans Professor Van Oscilator is working for the Daily Fail now, so running commentary on what females are wearing are part of his ‘job description’ or whatever… Oh, how the mighty fall and how trivial their pursuits are 😠

@jmil400 On this specific issue, what did you think of her jumping in and attempting to blur the whole issue into "well it's just been a few years of High Court vs govt ha ha" instead of acknowledging that the detainee was released by Dutton with no High Court involvement?

Also, while Savva is stating some facts, Crabb puts her finger on her cheek, head sideways, and says condescendingly: "mmm yes but the Minister's delegate is not the Minister." If that's not running cover for Dutton (as well as being mocking towards Savva), I don't know what is.

One photo changed everything for Annabelle Crabbe...sitting in the back seat of a limo with Peta Credlin her guilty face caught in the camera flash
