Re: Carr 'astonished' by Thatcher's 'racist' comments
It depends on what she was getting at though, doesn't it? I agree in essence, but I think my concern is more cultural than racial. I choose to live in a Western liberal democracy, and these are white countries, for the most part. If Australia was 75% Asian, but identical culturally and politically to where we live today, I shouldn't have a problem with it, should I?

I'm 'astonished' that Carr is our Foreign Minister

Playing the race card on a dead woman, what a courageous man this Carr is...

I can't say that I was a fan of Maggie, but to be fair, she was right on this one. What's Carr on about? Halfwit.
