Australian Values...Recent 'social movements' regarding Reclaiming Australia (apparently from Halal and perhaps even Kosher hamburger providers) represents, for me, the peculiar dissociative phenomenon we call Australian Values. I am surprised that the people who are so anti-Islam have not called it all a Zionist Conspiracy.
Whilst we are compassionate and deeply emotionally supportive of international heroin traffickers facing the laws they knew they were breaking, and seeking to save them from the subsequent known legal terminal punishment; we are, at the same time, more than happy, every day, to have our soldiers and airmen lethally punish (thus execute good and bad alike) a lot of people in communities in Iraq, in 'surgical' (sic) military operations that have never been effective and have never brought about good outcomes for anyone, including us, in the past, and cost us a billion dollars every year as a minimum. I guess we can afford that, but can't afford decent care for disabled Australians.
Australian Values? Pull the other one.
