This is not ok. Australia can do better.

The influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those that follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. I believe that the reasons for ending all further Muslim immigration are both compelling and self-evident. -Anning
This week senator, Fraser Anning of the Katter Australia Party (Full Transcript here) addressed the Australian Senate..

Excerpts of the speech, party leader Bob Katter's response and Annings non-apology are all available to watch below.

We cannot stress enough, this xenophobic, ​inaccurate, wildly inflammatory speech does nothing to advance the cause of improving equality of opportunity for any Australians.

For a representative of 'Australian' Ideals, Anning seems to forget that the second verse of our national anthem begins with;

"For those who come across the seas, we've boundless plains to share."

Without even going into the abject abuse, disenfranchisement and continuing negative impact of colonialism on the Indigenous Australians, the current anthem for Australia includes room for those from across the seas. Not Europeans from across the seas.

This divisive, hurtful and false rhetoric from our parliamentarians must be called out, but even further, their divisive and damaging actions must be called out too.

This is not ok. Australia can absolutely do better. We see the very best in the opportunities for positive impact that can be had, through effective corporate and community engagement and management. Keeping people doing what they are really good at, on the road to effective impact, and making sure that people who need help, get the help that they need, when they need it, for as long as they need it.

Keep looking out for each other, keep supporting the most vulnerable in our communities, and as always, Just Be Nice.
While all Muslims are not terrorists, certainly all terrorists these days are Muslims. So why would anyone want to bring more of them here? - Anning
