Rant day today, so please bear with me….
Apparently there was a debate on the Sunday program this weekend in which Bronwyn Bishop was debating that Muslim women should be banned from wearing their traditional head dresses and should be wearing “jeans” like the rest of us. The debate is said to have degenerated into a farcical slanging match and has hence received broader media coverage this morning. Channel 7’s
But what annoys me is that Seven gave the question more airtime by having a view poll about whether Muslim women should be allowed to dress in their cultural dress…
Am I the only one here who has missed the point? There is no “debate” and of course Muslim women should be allowed to dress as their custom. Why are we even considering this issue? What has happened to
The fact that someone of supposedly high political standing such as Bronwyn Bishop can get up on national TV and sprout this racist garbage about banning Muslim dress is disgusting. She would have needed Howard’s approval to do such a story and that is indicative of his views.
Then to top it all off, wannabe Premier John Brogden called, at an official function, the wife of former Premier Bob Carr a “mail order bride”. Yes, Mrs Carr is of some Asian descent, but instantly Brogden assumes the worst from a racism slant and lets fly on a guy who he could not beat in political debate for so many years. It was a cheap and nasty shot and is again a leading indicator of the views of some very powerful people in this country.
The Liberals have kept control of the parliament of this country on the base of racially driven campaigns for at least 2 elections and enough is enough.
Return Australia to a country of multi-cultural acceptance in which people of all backgrounds can live freely as our democratic constitution dictates.

Wtf is with all these spammers on your feedback clay? ffs I think it's time these clowns are reported and their blogs closed/accounts disabled.
Blog Spam?
Is there no end to the madness???
For the record, I think Australia has lost the plot. It's a sign of the times really when Australia becomes more close minded, selfish and competitive for resources. Take a look at the job market or housing market - people are taking serious risks just to 'get ahead' and it's this kind of mentality that's reducing the quality of life for all as acceptance and tolerance flies out the window.
The terrorist boogeyman and fear are just icing on the cake.
The pollies can't have it both ways - you can't keep importing massive amounts of immigrants from OS for decades on end and then complain when they wish to continue with their cultural beliefs while abroad.
I think they're all hypocritical racist idiots myself - between the media and the pollies, who stands a chance at all?
