'Words matter': Anne Aly targeted in 'It's okay to be white' campaign


READ MORE

“‘It’s OK to be white’ aren’t just five words that are arbitrarily thrown together and have some kind of expressive meaning about racism,” she said.


“It is actually a loaded slogan with a long history within the white supremacist movement.


“And when we have our leaders in Parliament using white supremacist and neo-Nazi slogans, and when you have the Liberals and the Nationals following One Nation and voting for it, this kind of stuff happens.


“It emboldens people to do this kind of intimidation and harassment.”


Dr Aly said the phrase was a recruitment tool for the alt-right.

How to finish off manufacturing: become the world’s biggest gas exporter

Image
READ MORE Did you know Australia has now over taken Qatar to be the largest exporter of natural gas in the world? But, thanks to private profiteering and government bungling, this seeming triumph comes at the risk of further diminishing manufacturing industry in NSW and Victoria. It’s yet another example of naive economic reformers stuffing things up because real-world markets don’t work the way they do in textbooks.
