Mark Latham speaks out ...
Jan 20^th, 2015 at 1:49pm

DT 16 Jan 2015:

"The trouble with Australia's Arabic-Muslim community is not in the nature of its religious beliefs but in its culture of complaint and welfare entitlement.

In my time dealing with them in Western Sydney, Arabic-Muslim community leaders were different from other ethnic representatives, including Muslims from the non-Arabic world. (Turks, Iranians, etc)

They had a lot of gripes and spent a lot of time trying to milk the system of government for material gain.

They lacked a strong work ethic and commitment to private enterprise".

So, Wally 1 ... what's your response to this?

OK, Mark Latham in the past has proven to have opinions that aren't thoughtfully considered. This is not that different.

He was MP for an electorate in Western Sydney.

He had a procession of Arabic-Muslim Community leaders beating a path to his office door for the reasons Latham has stated above.

All of which still doesn't make him a careful considered voice on the issue.

Yes I apologise, I'll have to make more vulgar references and meaningless assertions in future to satisfy the immigrant.

As usual you pick and choose what you want to post.

The same article also states that the liberals caused the mess in iraq and has in turn cause more terrorism in Aus.

I dont mind Mark latham actaully, but i hardly think stopping a $200 week centre link payment is going to stop somebody going overseas to fight.

My Dad was a pretty straight shooter when he was alive.

I remember sitting with him and a couple of his mates at the time Latham was going to stand against Howard and the punching the cabbie deal came up.

Pretty much all these older blokes (you know, people who actually fought in WWII) basically said Latham would get their vote. When pressed as to why it was unanimous....

They would prefer a leader who would smack you on the chin if you were a dickhead than one who lied as easily as he breathed....

They may have been onto something.

Reminds me of General George S. Patton and Field Marshal Thomas Blamey both of whom were said to have slapped somebody.

My father gave a speech to Blamey in private during the War in the Pacific. Just in case you're taking notes.

I'm sure thousands of people did, they were called briefings.
