"racism must be so deeply entrenched in Australian society"

In SOME parts.


Jim Lad, in Australia, the Democrats were what was left after the Liberals - led by Johnny and his cohorts - went so far to the Right that those left looked Left... :-) And they said "since there's more of us than you we're taking the name 'Liberal' with us"...

The National (previously called Country) Party (in Coalition Government with The Liberal Party) is the most Right of the 'Conservative' parties... :-)

And then there is Pauline Hanson, who sorta makes the KKK look Left Wing Commo... :-)

I really should mention the Family First Party - who have a member in The Senate - and almost held the balance of power... but I'm not going to...

I really suspect the whole thing is about trying to reverse the Mabo Decision...
