‘Divisive and dangerous campaign’ to use sports stars to shame Aussies

HUMAN rights boffins have resurrected a plan to force taxpayers to fund an advertising campaign promoting the idea that Australia is fundamentally racist – and they want to feature some of the nation’s biggest sporting stars, who will be expected to work for free.

Weeks after the Australian Human Rights Commission pulled a $140,000 tender to refresh its “Racism – It Stops With Me” campaign after it was heavily criticised for promoting the idea that Australia is “structurally and institutionally racist”, the independent body has quietly refreshed the idea.

In a new “Approach to Market”, seen by The Daily Telegraph, the AHRC is calling for an update of the promotional campaign “focusing on structural racism in addition to interpersonal racism.” Structural and institutional racism are terms associated with the controversial doctrine of “critical race theory”.

This asserts that skin colour is perhaps the most important thing about a person and that any differences in outcomes between groups is the result of in-built societal prejudice.

The campaign anticipates sports stars among others will be used as free talent.

“Given the campaign’s longstanding partnership with the AFL, NRL and other Australian sporting codes, celebrity ambassadors and related sporting talent will be available free of charge,” the document states.

Critics have blasted the revamped proposal, saying that it divides Australians rather than unites them.

“When the Australian Human Rights Commission talks about institutional and systemic racism with public money, what they mean is that Australia and Australians are irredeemably racist. This is fundamentally untrue,” said Dr Bella d’Abrera, director of the Foundations of Western Civilisation Program at the Institute of Public Affairs.

“It’s just a rewrite of what will amount to a divisive and dangerous campaign.

“It is outrageous that the AHRC will work with the AFL and NRL to lecture their fans about how racist they are.

“AHRC is using taxpayer dollars to push the false and insulting narrative that Australia is structurally racist.”

South Australian senator Alex Antic said: “Rather than pandering to a woke minority, it is my suggestion that the AHRC, the AFL and the NRL learn the lessons of failing overseas sporting codes and stick to their knitting.”

The AHRC said it was doing the work asked of them.

Queensland was the home of segregation in Australia, Cods.  Indigenous people were limited as to where they could live, what jobs they could work and who they could marry.  Indeed, South Africa came to Queensland to learn how to make their Pass Laws work.   

Thankfully, that is all dead and it appears buried if your claims are correct.  Name calling is childish but it is what people like Matty excel at.  They are trolls hiding in their basement bashing out what they think is thoughtful posts but are really only designed to incite peoples' tempers.

Australia has a problem with Racism.  Most Australians would be willing to tell a Racist joke and laugh about it, rather than face the reality they are furthering the cause of Racism.  Australia's problem was once remarked to me by an Englishman I was working with as "a casual relationship."  All too often the concepts, the remarks are that, casual but they still hurt.  Asian, African, Indigenous Australians for example can all too often relate about how their feelings have been hurt by casual remarks.  You have idiots like the Bolter decreeing that some people are "too white to be Aboriginal".  Gee, if it was only skin colour which determined if a person was Indigenous.  Peoples' attitudes are determined by many things, not just skin colour unfortunately.  Look at Bobby with his senseless attacks on innocent Africans living in Australia.  Look at Matty's senseless trolls about Muslims.  Tsk, tsk.

That's true. I said just this to the old boy.

Stop being such a girl, I said. Stop crying. Get back on the horse.

I shat on his face for good measure.

It always hurts me more than it hurts them, you know. Spare the stool and spoil the child, no?
