Michael Guider is now dead, a nasty piece of ALP supported filth, who killed children like SAmantha Knight and got released because he used authorship of books on Aboriginal culture to appeal to the extreme left to release him.

After a No to the Voice, AUstralia has got to stop supporting people like Michael Guider, a child killer, who molested children and got away with a lot of it using the ruse of authoring books on ABoriginal culture.

Books on Aboriginal culture used by child killers to get their release, if put to the vote, should and would be banned by most Australians.

These books on aboriginal culture were disgusting.

Vote no to them each and every time regardless of the child killers that promote this grotesque garbage.
