I just read this story in" Courier mail"


Asylum seeker shootings bring out worst November 17, 2009 12:00am

MONEY, guns and misery, and the ugly face of Australian bigotry, are the stench of the week. Again.

It's very rare here that we discuss the same topic two weeks running, but some of the poisonous bile that has spewed forth in recent days on The Courier-Mail website (most of it cravenly anonymous) cannot be left unreported.

As a proud second-generation Australian (and the son of a World War II refugee), I am ashamed at some of the hatred and insularity displayed by those applauding the decision by Indonesian authorities to open fire on a boatload of Afghan refugees.

In fact, I am embarrassed to call you fellow Australians.

So much for a "fair go" and values of an allegedly Christian society.
