Dutton is now attempting to tell the Fijian's that Neil Prakash is one of theirs! As a commenter has appropriately written, go home Dutton, your village is looking for its idiot.

Had the unfortunate pleasure to meet the village idiot many years ago at a nightclub when he was with the young Liberals (one of girls in the group was hot :laughing: )

One of the dullest humans I've ever met , if you remember the scenes from the Flying High movies when Ted Stryker is telling his life story to the passengers sitting beside him and they all attempt suicide ….... I understand that feeling

Wow, but no surprise. Man Peter the dud Dutton does look dull.
Man he is a Queensland ex Cop. They make the NSW ones look good.

Yes the 80's was dirtycopville up here

One of the few clean ones was my Godfather and he had 9 kids , 6 of his sons become police , his 3 daughters married police

I object to paying a poiticians expenses to attend a racist rally especially after his comments in parliament.A complete waste of money,i know its democracy at work but sometimes we get it very wrong.
We need unity in this wonderful country of ours not division

So, calling people who attend a rally racist is promoting unity?

Good one.

Attending a rally promoting racism is the exact opposite of promoting unity.Hows the wall going?

Was it promoted as a "racist rally "?

Could anyone attend or was it only for racists?

Melbourne,white supremicist and yes.Only 1 politician attended and was condemned from all sides of politics for his crassness(except Pauline).I will ask again "how is the wall going"

So who gets to decide which public events politicians should and shouldn't be able to attend?

I would have thought it was the electorate, who can vote the pollie out if they disagree with their choice of public events.

And on a side note, if pollies paid their own travel expenses, or were given a $5,000.00 allowance p.a., we might see them spend more time locally actually doing work for the people who voted them in. Wild idea, i know.

Fraser Anning only received 19 primary votes at the election( Paulines party) and yet went to parliament as a senator.Unfortunately it is not quite as easy to vote him out as you would hope, all he has to do is be one of the top selections on a party senate ticket and he is in with a decent chance.He left Paulines party after a massive arguement but it wouldnt surprise me if he hitched his hopes to another fringe party with Clive Palmer.
In queensland that just may be enough to see him returned

I know Fraser Anning's background.

I also know he has the same right as any other person to attend whichever event he likes, whether its a group of screaming yobs in St Kilda, or a bunch of suits down on Macquarie Street.

He has his own party now, and he wont be running on anybody else's coat tails the next time he fronts the electorate. Like every other politician, he will live or die by his decisions.

I don't have any love for the organisers of that particular event he recently attended, but at the end of the day, you either believe in freedom or you don't. And sticking up for freedom often means acknowledging the rights and positions of people you don't like.

>> Fraser Anning only received 19 primary votes at the election
I think there is an argument that we vote for the party and not the person. Yet often political parties do foolish things. Notoriously Don Chipp left the Liberals to start the Australian Democrats because he was sick of the back room dealings and broken promises.

>> if pollies paid their own travel expenses, or were given a $5,000.00 allowance p.a.,
I actually like it more if they travel. The city where they live is a Bottle and Canberra is a Micro chasm.
Get them out visiting groups and visiting the areas they represent. However if they have an internal party event they should pay. Thinking Generically, should politicians pay or have their flight subsidised to fly to rallies?

The rally is run by ignorant racists who are happy to blame other races for their broken marriages and woes. Being in the KKK used to make you seen as the social misfit you are. The Superman comics and broadcast mocked the KKK revealing their secrets. Likewise black clansmen is hilarious for showing their stupidity.
Let them have their rally and have their token pollie attend their racist rally. We just need to be laughing harder at their boneheaded views, these guys are worse then Demtel shoppers :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Everybody is entitled to believe whatever they like and i would always hope that in this country we will always enjoy "free assembly" as an integral part of our lifestyle.Freedom is something many of us have always had and hopefully always will.
There are times when i am concerned about the future of our country as division based on any criteria is not beneficial to society.
You only have to look at so many other countries to see just how lucky we are in comparison

Don Chipp was one of the very few politicians who i admire and respect it is a pity his party "white anted" itself out of existence.A genuine 3rd major party which is centrist is exactly what we need rather than the bitter infighting we have had for the last 12 years in government.We need a credible alternative party

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Fraser Anning is free to attend such a rally. The public is free to criticise him as such. A lot of people like making the link that having your say and being incensed when people exercise the right of reply as being a suppression of speech.

Freedom of speech without right of reply is not freedom of speech.

It isn’t. And Donald knows it. Isn’t it funny that it’s only become a national emergency now that the Dems control the House, and they are the ones who have the power, and not the 2 years previous when the Republicans had control. It’s nothing more than a ploy so he can say to his low IQ base that he tried fighting for the wall, but the big bad Democrats refused because they want open boarders, knowing they don’t have the brains to work out his own party didn’t give him the money either. Yeah, but it’s the Dems fault ?‍♂️

Cmon Donald is starting to mellow

The wall doesn't have to be concrete now :laughing:

Now he’s back to tweeting about the caravan. Because we all know that worked during the mid terms.

He honestly believes that he won the mid term election.He seems to be out of his depth in foreign policy treating his allies badly and starting fights with them.
Financially bankrupt 4 times but morally bankrupt all his life

[Spud_Murphy]

Change of subject somewhat, but is anyone else getting unsolicited text messages from Clive Palmer's UAP? How the hell did they get my number?

In any case, his campaign sounds too much like Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon for me to take him seriously. God knows one of them in the world is already one too many!

Starting fights with which allies?

He has control of two out of three branches of government. He won the senate with an increased majority. He has made the economy the best in 20 or 30 years. Record employment, employment for blacks and Hispanics best EVER. Record highs for the stock exchange. Two Supreme Court Justices with a third likely. Manufacturing jobs best in 30 years. New trade deals with Mexico and Canada. Better trade deals with China. Negotiations with North Korea re de-necularisation ongoing. Upgraded the American military bigtime.

All the above and lots more in two years. America will really be great again in six more years.

The dopey dems and their fake news enablers can't get over 2016.

I'm not sure why people are against border security. I think that it is a good idea to know who and what are entering your country. We are lucky in Australia we have natural "walls ". There called Oceans.

Anyone on this forum want open borders?
