Back in the house and LNP MP Andrew Wallace has taken the debate…places. None of them good.

There is only so much conflation of facts and re-writing of a narrative one can stomach while watching Auspol. It does no one any favours to be so entirely one-eyed for pure political gain, and it certainly does not address the simmering hatreds threatening Australian cohesion.

Australia’s security agencies were warning of the rise of the far-right, which included Nazis, under the Coalition government, while Peter Dutton was the minister heading those agencies. That included when their were literal Nazis marching Australian streets.

Dutton’s response was to label extremist Islamic terrorism ‘leftwing terrorism’ and attack ‘leftwing lunatics’

There was no immediate response from Dutton when neo-Nazis marched in Adelaide’s CBD on January 26.

Hatred should always be called out. But that is all hate. Consistently. Not just where someone may see political gain.
