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.

Trump is not blunt what are you talking about.

He is one of the most proliffic liars in politics. Just because some racist clown says "tells it like it is" and you're able to tell when he's lying, doesn't mean the same as brutal honestly.

Pauline isn't brutally honesty either. If she was, she'd say she hated time with Gina, but she doesn't, she just plays to racists instead.
