The anti-woke, anti-étatist counterrevolution has been slow in emerging in Australia. We have no well-established free-market, free-speech party. The LNP are étatist; PHON are conspiracy- mongering deadheads; and our Libertarians are too Rothbardian.
@OfTheLongArm@razibkhan In the 19th century there were questions from time to time about raised about whether Irish were white. Few were seen as non-Whites.
Lionel Matthews, Aust Army officer who ran an underground resistance network in captivity in Borneo, WWII, until betrayed to enemy.
Despite torture, he refused to provide names of network members. He was executed 2 March 1944.
This is our Anzac legacy. This is our Australia. 🇦🇺
Don't flatter yourself or Labor @PatrickGormanMP
Whitlam attended the funeral of the WAP, but it was well and truly dead before he was elected.
Remember that Labor were the party that introduced racial restriction laws shortly after federation, and then periodically and repeatedly until after WWII.
Remember Arther Caldwell and his quote? Do I have to cite it further to condemn Labor for their long history of racism?
If I were you (Patrick Gorman), I'd sit very quietly and contritely on Labor's long history on this issue.
Hayek: “In the United States, where it has become almost impossible to use ‘liberal’ in the sense in which I have used it, the term ‘libertarian’ has been used instead.”
“It may be the answer; but for my part I find it singularly unattractive. For my taste it carries too much the flavor of a manufactured term and of a substitute.”
“What I should want is a word which describes the party of life, the party that favors free growth and spontaneous evolution. But I have racked my brain unsuccessfully to find a descriptive term which commends itself.”
Yeah, so, having grown up in Australia - I can confidently say we never had issues with actual Australians shitting in pools.
Or anywhere in public, for that matter.
Do with this information what you will.
@pwafork Imagine being in a government or Labor apparatus or media in a country with 30% of the world’s uranium reserves - and leading a mindless campaign against Nuclear power?
“What does … Donald Trump expect a handful or two handfuls of European frigates to do in the Strait of Hormuz that the powerful US Navy cannot do?” German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius told reporters on Monday. “This is not our war, we have not started it.”
.@watynesmyth6 Well , I cannot imagine any of the powers in World War One, or the Boer, Franco-Prussian, Crimean or Napoleonic Wars, accepting it as a legitimate method. I believe Churchill protested to Roosevelt about the killing of Yamamoto.
There are hundreds if not thousands of public servants busting their guts, usually with no overtime payment, working to make Australians safe and get them home.
A shout out to them!
Said before but its just another rhetorical import from the USA, which is par for the course for most Aboriginal activism.
It starts with Garveyism (he was Jamaican) and Fred Maynard with Negro Advancement League ideas.
Then Freedom Rides in the 1960s, direct import.
Kath Walker, activist worked on the docks and took on US Black Power/Communism ideas from black US sailors.
Passed to her son Denis Walker who started the Aus Black Panthers, direct import.
BLM movement was imported and applied to deaths in custody more recently.
Blackbirding is snazzed up to sound like US chattel slavery.
Land rights, sovereignty, embassy ideas are imported from Native Americans.
The National Black Theatre in Redfern was a direct import from Harlem, with the same name and the same people involved.
Now its smallpox blankets.
