Now it's official, you can't cite Godwin's law as a reason for not comparing the Australian government policy (and the rampant cowardice among Australians which led to it) to what happened in Nazi Germany.
The article is referring to: http://www.canberratimes.com.au/comment/australians-are-wimps-for-allowing-a... It mentions some inconvenient truth about the riots too. She mentions Australia since 2001. It includes Howard, Rudd, Gillard, Abbott. Amazingly (or not) the Herald Sun I browsed through in a cafe last weekend did not even mention the topic. It does not seem to exist in Murdoch world. Horror in Murdoch world are deranged ex-husbands and neglected toddlers (or something like that, I did not bother to read the details of their head story) Gleichschaltung of media (getting them "in sync" wih the government) was part of the Nazi strategy. The Liberals attacks on ABC and SBS (the Victorian Liberals have the privatisation officially on the agenda) are hitting the same mark. With the dominance of Murdoch in print and with privately owned (and right-wing biased) Seven, Nine and Ten on TV they would have the Gleichschaltung. Then they could go away with everything the next 1000 years.. BTW: I find the preference system broken if my vote is finally collected in a Liberal or Labor bucket and I do not have an option to say: Never ever in this one! It is part of what makes them so complacent and opportunistic. They do not have to care for my vote, they get it at the end anyway.. Anyway, I was in a concert last week with a fake Abbott on stage barking something like: "Go back to where you come from! Go back to Antarctica! These are our shores!" before he was beheaded. It was an American band. That's what they think of us.. And for sure: Andrew Bolt took offense! http://blogs.news.com.au/heraldsun/andrewbolt/index.php/heraldsun/comments/t... God save the Queen!
