Look forward to ABC Four Corners expose on 13 October.

Sadly prisons can offer fertile ground for the thoughts espoused by this lowlife

They’ve made him a martyr for the cause

Splashing red paint on a building gets a breathless, urgent PM press conference, an aNtiSeMiTiSm eNvOy, saturation reporting and new "hate" laws.

Racists violently attacking a group of First Nations gets you 🙉🙈🙊.

I have never felt the same about our flag since the Cronulla riots, 2005.
