All the politically right people that do this are either self sabotaging or wolves in sheep's clothing.
Its a great tactic to discredit some legitimate ideas of your political opponents.
The whole thing smacks of some elaborate publicity stunt but to what end nobody knows. There are a lot of racist extremists in Australia though.

You will find no guilt here, just a friendly message of tolerance and inclusion. The truth of the past must still be acknowledged.

Firstly I'm just going to ignore any article posted which has ties to Rupert Murdoch. No individual should be able to slam their biased personal opinions into every Australian household. Unfortunately this man can.
Now... The cronulla riots occurred as a result of allegations of numerous rapes committed by the then new to Australia Lebanese community. People took to the streets, made a big mess and there hasn't been much trouble since.
The way we handle boat people is one of the reasons multiculturalism is working here. We choose who gets to come in. It hasn't always been that way and the first immigrants to Australia were some of the worst. No contest.

Yes. It's a bit of a shame to see our politicians behaving as though they are political parties in Zimbabwe.
You can harp on about boat people all you want. It's an issue yes. For the most part we have managed to contain things outside our borders. Well done Australia, seems like everything is working just fine. Unless you're trying to do a break and enter from aboard some rickety old canoe.
Fact remains that Australia is probably the single most multicultural nation in the west. Everything has been working quite well here generally. Even when the GFC crushed nations underfoot, large and small alike, Australia simply weathered the storm and came out on top. If you want to make some claims at Australia not working you will need more than boat people, a riot ten years ago and claims of islamic violence in the worst city in Australia.
I almost forgot to meme.

Laying flat.
