smug little virtue signaller ...

Some really weird stuff in the OP. Waleed is a born and bred Melbourne nerd and sounds like one. I bet if I heard the voices of many of the people here who hate him I would find a variety of accents less Australian than Waleed - some European, some UK and some Southern African.

A few notes:
-prefered domicile - city dweller. So are most Australians.
-favourite drink - soy mocha latte. False. Would bet a $100 he has never had one.
-university degree - BA Arts majoring in virtue signalling. False.Bachelor of Engineering (Chemical) and Bachelor of Laws (with honours).
-favourite subject - neo marxism in a post modern world. False.
-suspicious of farmers. thinks farmers are strange & harmful. False.
-has an inane urge to help by advising & instructing people beneath his economic status. Yes, as a staff a staff member of the Global Terrorism Research Centre at Monash University who has warned the country about emerging terror threats, he helps ASIO and our security services keep Australians safe.
-"expert" at all manner of social, political & economic matters. He's a public commentator. Like Alan Jones or Andrew Bolt.
- believes Australian society is currently under siege by ultra right wing elements. It is. Remember the Christchurch massacre?
-believes Australia is divided and has a shameful history. It is divided. The writer is encouraging that division with this topic.
- believes anyone who disagrees with his narrative is a right wing ultra conservative. False.
- believes anyone who disagrees with him must be a racist and masogynist. False. Just making random stuff up now.
- believes he can socially engineer Australian society to make it a "better place for all" False.
-believes in the maxim " all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal..." False.
-suspicious of anyone who drinks a short or long black. False.
-suspicious of any religion other than islam. False. Interacts with other religions constantly. As the lead guitarist and principal songwriter for the Melbourne-based rock band Robot Child, he is featured on the Jesuit Social Services' Just Music album

I really do like parts of what you say here but you speak to an upper echelon of society surely. You do not speak to the common man and that's your prerogative. The yanks have a few more people voting and consequently a few more heads need the attention of two lingual pugilists going at it in a fair and controlled manner.Let us all just wait and see how these debates unfold. Your comments in the penultimate and last sentence in the second paragraph suggest a little anxiety, a little nervousness and let me say, you wouldnt back your man. Such a shame that already you are making excuses.Very poor form. You as a supporter should be keen and supportive yet you seem so dismissive.And the debates havent even started.I wouldn't want you in the trenches when things get tough that's for sure.
