    I give it six weeks before an LNP politician calls for a "debate" on a return to the White Australia Policy. "I'm not saying I support it, but I think we need to have that debate."

        They are absolutely fucking shameless, but to make this work, with media assistance, they only need to move far enough Hitlerwards to drag Labor beyond the point they're willing to go in the race to the bottom. The stopping point is in Labor's hands & the media's, as well as Libs

        There has to be a point when the #LNP splits into #RWNJ's and #moderates but it turns out 100% #RWNJ's. And NONE of them have read either Hume, Lock or Mill. But they understand cash cow donors.

        Yes and Turnbull will nod solemnly in agreement and say it's a legitimate debate we have to have. God he's just awful.

        We definitely do not need to have this debate. What we need is real political leadership that supports a racially diverse Australia.

        We all know where that will take us. Right wing is lining up behind Dutton. A ‘debate’ will feed their agenda to demonise. Sky, 2GB, etc will clime on board. And then the ignorant hateful swamp feeders will join in. It will just strengthen polarisation that RWNJ’s are seeking.

        Scarily realistic scenario. We are going back to Joh BelkePetersen type times. Huge effort needed to counter it.
