And ill say it again - stop the boats was a liberal wedge that had racist folk voting liberal
Yes and those racist folk are a very small minority, don't be seduced by the 'noise'.
If they weren't a minority then Hanson would be in power.
I think you're looking at the 'stop the boats policy' from only one angle, this policy was also 'sold' as a 'saving the refugees lives' angle and 'stop human trafficking angle'
Among other policies that could be viewed as 'right wing friendly' and that's how it was reported by media - the 'noise'.
Sure that appeals to the white supremo neo lib, but also appeals to those who have empathy for refugees or disdain for traffickers - y'know the centred folks (which is obviously majority).
