While Liberal trolls sharpen their claws to demonise
asylum seekers (up hill and down dale) there are
three relevant stories in today's Canberra Times:
1: PNG accuses the Coalition of "misrepresenting" the
deal PNG did with Prime Minister Kevin Rudd. That's
nothing new for the Liberals. John Howard altered
Navy photos of a refugee boat to make it appear
that refugees were throwing their children
overboard to bully Australia into caving
in to their demands. Howard won an
election with trickery and lies.
Abbott is Howard's alter boy.
2: Former Liberal PM Malcolm Fraser is calling for a royal
commission into Australia's offshore concentration
camp Gulag, likening it to Stalin's Siberian Gulag
of forced labour camps. Malcolm Fraser has
what Rudd and Abbott lack: Noblesse oblige.
Its literal meaning is "nobility obliges"
the nobles to treat the commoners
with dignity, respect and fairness.
Hence Malcolm champions the
refugees rotting in prisons.
3: Investors in Canberra's housing market are
punting that Rudd (not Abbott) will win the
election. If investors thought Abbott would
win with his Sack/Relocate public servants
policy, investors would dump and run.
BUT money is pouring into Canberra:
