I have never agreed that you can produce a policy outcome by being cruel to people. It’s an insult to our ethos where we try to be as mentally cruel as tyrants are, to keep other people out. We’re better than this; most Australians are better than this.

Some people say that ridiculing Pauline Hanson for her lack of ability with the English language is classism. It isn't. It is thickism. I don't want thick people in parliament making decisions on the future of this nation.

Who was stupid, entitled and mean.

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.
