You are wise beyond your years, Steve. Wish the same could be said of the administration here. Appalling lack of good judgment.
I'm not back. I just happened to be passing through on the way to the toilet when I chanced to espy Walter's latest contribution here - and did a double-take and a backflip-with-half-pike when I read that our Prime Minister John Howard is supposed to enjoy an international reputation for being tough and ruthless with his immigration and refugees policy.
What an absolute crock. Only the international leftwing-liberal media and political fraternity would hold to such an absurd view. The guy has presided over a full 10-years of solid immigration from Islamic Third World backwater nations - as well as single-handedly having been instrumental in initiating a disastrous immigration and refugees programme from the African continent.
Before he got sacked from his university for exercising his democratic right to free speech - we recently had a Professor of law here in Sydney called Professor Andrew Fraser. He called for a total ban on any further immigration from Africa as a preventive measure to forestall the inevitable formation of criminal black ghettoes in future decades.
He got sacked for this statement - so much for universities being institutions of academic discussion and the free exchange of opinions and ideas. Yeah, right. You can spout leftwing rhetoric 'till yer blue in the face - no problemo... but woebetide if you should dare to voice a few opinions of a conservative hue.
Last night one of our Current Affairs programmes revealed the result of a poll in which it was asked: 'Is Professor Andrew Fraser correct in believing that a halt to immigration from the African continent is in the best interest of Australia's future?'
Result: 88% agree with his opinion
12% disagree.
(And you should have seen the expression on the face of this trendy little leftwing presenter as she was forced to read out these results which she had obviously not at all expected... )
