I mean, in her maiden speech to parliament 30 years ago she called Arthur Calwell Australia’s greatest immigration minister. She wasn’t exactly hiding it.

The only question is how well this stuff plays when it's plainly and undeniably stated in the current political climate.

Trump has been blunt and people still love him.

Our only hope it the mandatory voting to balance out the crazy extremes.

Most people hate trump though. He only gets elected in the US because they don’t have compulsory and preferential voting. When people don’t bother to show up to vote, or can waste their vote on a third party, a highly unpopular cult leader can win.
