Aussies not so equal and not so free any more

According to the article below our RBA President has cited growing inequality in Australia, apparently prompting Scott Morrison's Office to 'qualify' politically self=-serving remarks he made earlier this week:

"RBA governor says inequality getting worse, contradicting Scott Morrison ..."
"... Speaking at an event supporting the Anika Foundation, he said the gap between rich and poor has widened in recent years, but made the distinction between "wealth" and "income" inequality.
"Wealth inequality has become more pronounced particularly in the last five or six years because there's been big gains in asset prices," he said.
"So the people who own assets, which tend to be wealthy people, have seen their wealth go up."

As if widening inequality isn't bad enough; it follows AHRC Gillian Triggs' damning comments about the manner in which Australia has deserted the humane treatment of people ranging from asylum seekers to Aborigines and the LGBTI community:

"Gillian Triggs: Australian government 'ideologically opposed to human rights"

So where our political leaders and what are those appointed and being paid to protect us against such creeping fascism doing about it?

"Creeping fascism'

Wow, sometimes I wonder if you really know what that means.

What you fail to get Lapdog is that Aussies just believe in a "fair go". We know the refugees are rorting the system. What you fail to acknowledge is that for every refugee we stop (mostly young men) coming by boat, it allows us to give preferential treatment to REFUGEES who don't have the means to jump the queue. Deep down you know it is true. But it is much easier for you to perpetuate a myth that Australians hate refugees and we don't let the in. You turn a blind eye to the FAMILIES AND KIDS coming through via our generous refugee program. You went missing when the LNP for the first time in years was able to hand out HUMANITARIAN VISAS, most of which were given to Afghans who helped us in the war, instead of using them up on boat people jumping the queue.

It's all pretty much an inconvenient truth for you Lapdog. It has nothing to do with fascism which is just an easy throw away line you people use. It has everything to do with a "fair go" and we would much rather not have $$$$$$$$ used as the catalyst for seeking refuge in our country and we prioritise families, the poor and the persecuted minorities.

As far as inequality of LGBT, give us a break. Creeping fascism? What a load of rot!!! The creeping fascism is coming from the side that wants to rename a stadium because of a woman's religious beliefs. The fascism comes from those harrassing an elderly lady as she enters a hall to speak or the death threats to hotels who hold church groups who opposes SSM.

I'm pro SSM but the only creeping fascism I see is from those who dare offer a differing opinion and the indoctrination of students who are being taught that diversity of opinion is "fascism". And the fascism of those who support ruining a students life because they dare to question the segragation of computers.
