‘Back in your boats’: Tele joins the immigration debate
Good to see that Sydney’s Daily Telegraph has taken Julia Gillard at her word when she invited Australia to have an open debate about immigration without fearing political correctness…
Well, she didn’t say anything about nuanced.
(Hat-tip on South Park: @JoelyRighteous)
Too foul for words. It’s like ‘Journey to the Centre of the Earth’ in terms of hitting new lows.

Said it before, say it again… 3,000 or so refugees arriving in boats, more than 50,000 European overstaying tourists & one hell of an environmental mess to sort out… we are focussing on the refugees.
The media can shift the political agenda if it wishes to by asking the important questions, and driving alternative debate over and over till the spin cycle has to match step. The fact that journalists and editors are continuing to ride this wave of fear and nonsense will be looked back on as one of the key mistakes of our generation.
The mainstream news media have become shallow professional regurgitators of PR, spin, wire service feeds, marketing content, status quo political ideologies and corporatism. The journalistic ideal of informing the citizenry is all but dead here.
