Granted, he has Helpmann's blue eyes but I recall Sir Robert's chin being a little more pronounced.

The intelligentsia behind "Reclaim Australia", although "Intelligentsia & Reclaim Australia" is an oxymoron

His sign is right though! Not sure where the racism is, no race is mentioned, for that matter, no religion is, either!

Well, no - his sign just expresses moronic xenophobia. What he's fearful of is that Muslims will take over Australia and turn it into an Islamic state. How likely is that?

His predecessors were variously worried about Greeks, Italians, Turks, Lebanese, Vietnamese, Cambodian, Chinese etc etc taking over the country and destroying "our way of life". Their misgivings were equally misplaced.

There are some a$$holes about and it is always necessary to sort them out but, hey, someone let Martin Bryant into the country, too.

I don't think his mothers midwife should be held to account for that though.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Re the Reclaim Australia stuff, I noticed the ABC were reporting that there were a few minor incidents, whilst the Herald Sun reported that an organized punch on between extremists has cost tax payers $250,000.
