Update: Race storm batters Sky News in land of Murdoch's birth
Good Grief. More insanity from the christians.....
Recently the Sky News telly station in Australia (of which hardly anyone watches and which has a reputation of far right lunacy once the sun goes down) went way too far and interviewed Hitler Nazi supporter Blair Contrell thus:
Can't believe I'm still posting against this in 2018 |
And then the state of Victoria banned Sky News from it's train platforms, via social media:
A predictable outcry from the far right "free speecher's" enshewed, calling it a dark day in Australia for said free speech. Well, you can judge the merits of their arguments by simply watching the video. Did our parents and grand parents fight against Hitler so that this nut could get a media platform in Australia?I’ve directed @MetroTrains to remove @skynewsaustralia from all CBD station screens. Hatred and racism have no place on our screens or in our community. #springst— Jacinta Allan (@JacintaAllanMP) August 8, 2018
But there's more. Lyle Shelton (failed captain of the Australian Christian Lobby and now conservative wannabe federal pollie) has blamed David and I's marriage on the Victorian gov banning Sky News from it's train platforms.
I've never even been to Victoria. And for the life of me I simply can't see any connection between David and I's marriage (3 months now) and a decision by the Victorian state gov to ban hate speech and bigotry on it's train platforms.
These guys calling themselves "patriots" really aren't that bright are they?— Leo Jai (@lionheartleojai) August 12, 2018
An Aussie wearing a Nazi swastika in 1940 wouldn't be called a "patriot" - he would be called a traitor.
I can't see there is any difference in 2018. pic.twitter.com/RvXRFySUGo
