8. The Australian electorate has much to answer for

The rot started with Howard - he encouraged the ugly side of the Australian psyche. The part that is racist and xenophobic, narrow-minded and insular. It was always there, but with the sixties and the embracing of more open thinking, we tended to try to put that sort of attitude behind us. But Howard brought it back, and encouraged it, as did every conservative leader since, until we now have a group of leaders who are closet Nazis.

It’s especially ironic given that the real native people of this country are those whose forebears we’re here 40,000 years ago, while we white-skinned people have mostly lived here for little more than.two or three generations. But we think we’re the rightful rulers.
