Attributing the rise of one nation to “Nazis” is even dumber than the conclusion that musks political opinion causes people to not buy teslas.
Well, I mean Pauline Hansons "there's not a single good Muslim" comment.. you know.. isn't that much of a stretch
Edit: mind you these comments were made on public broadcaster, concerns me what conversations are had behind closed doors.
Honestly, bible quotes are meaningless. None of the many Australian Muslims I know have tried to slay, make war with or even ostracise me. And similarly I haven't found any Australian Christians following all the junk in their bible either. Those still following these Abrahamic religions are following versions which have evolved over a thousand years - and pointing to a few extremist crazies interpreting it differently can be done with most groups - three extremist Christians were involved in a terrorist shooting in QLD in 2022, and the Christchurch shootings in 2019 were performed by an Australian Christian Nationalist. But it would be ridiculous to point to those and claim Christian Terrorism should make us hate all our Christian friends.
That is not what they said.
It definitely is.
