    IMO, it is difficult to distinguish posters' anti-China sentiment on these threads from anti-Chinese
    people in Australia; that is the racist undertone like " I bet you 2 bob to a Chinaman " saying of days gone by.

    Unfortunately right wing advocates who are incapable of addressing the topic of ideology without
    playing the man (attacking the poster) seem to be carrying this to the streets and harassing/attacking
    decent law abiding citizens just because of how they look. This is not our Australia and IMO, those who
    indulge in such behaviour should be given a year or two behind bars to consider their position.

    ASIO's generalisation of Right Wing terrorism into Ideological Terrorism does not help either, IMO,
    because it simply shields this despicable behaviour under a general label taking public focus of
    what it really is; Right Wing Extremism including racism & militant White Supremacism.
    and some of its trenchant advocates have spent time behind bars or are dropouts who
    can't cut the mustard, IMO.

    No doubt Minister Dutton has a lot to do in ASIO's terrorism re-categorisation .
    As with Trump, our Right Wing likes the comfort of a militant Far Right like The Proud Boys eh?

    We live in a Pluralist Democracy and that should be the underpinning of our Multiculturalism IMO.
