MODERATORS
There has been bipartisan condemnation of a "racist" full-page newspaper ad campaigning against the Voice to Parliament, in which a female MP is depicted sitting on her father's knee while he hands money to a Torres Strait Islander man below him.
The advertisement has Ms Chaney in a teal dress and piggy tails sitting on the knee of her father, Wesfarmers chairman and Yes23 director Michael Chaney. He is handing a wad of green cash with a $2 million price tag on it to Yes campaigner Thomas Mayo, who is wearing a red shirt with a hammer and sickle on it.
I find it so telling that their campaigning which can't be overtly racist, instead is clutching at straws that one person is a communist.
He's a communist!!! ... And?
Don't forget them 'elites' 'playing the race card'. Mmmm smell that imported bullshit.
Honestly anyone trying to claim an Australian Aboriginal holds the position of social elite in Australia should just straight up be comitted because they clearly have zero association with reality in any way, shape or form.
I haven't seen the ad, but from the description it sounds like textbook racism to me. Black man getting a handout from a white man who is in an elevated position is hardly subtle.
Yeah, sorry, it has to claim to not be racist (even though it obviously is).
No need to apologise, I wasn't correcting you. Just piggybacking off your comment to share my thoughts!
