I heard her comments and believed she was simply warning Australians that Muslims carry out most of the attacks on innocent people. I believe there is irrefutable evidence to confirm this as fact.
He also makes comment about us older voters, particularly on the Brexit vote and that the younger voters will have to suffer the consequences suggesting they will be bad. The younger voters will also reap the benefits of the decision.
Multiculturalism has contributed very little to our country. Australianism, certainly has. My glass if half full, not half empty.

WHY VOTE LABOR?
Why do you people continue to vote Labor in this area? When in Government they only “talk” Albion Park Rail bypass, lifts at Unanderra Railway and gay rights and now in Opposition they whinge and whine demanding the Libs do something.
To Gareth Ward please get started on these matters as when Labor gets in control again in a decade or so they will still be talking.
Some of the things the Libs have done since taking over is extensions to Wollongong Hospital, roadworks along Picton Road and roadworks Gerringong to Berry.
As safe seats Labor does nothing down here other than wasting the country's surplus, and as for Liberal they are the enemy who support business, which employs you voters. The only option is to elect some good independents which should stop their complacency.

STOP THE ABUSE
In response to the article "Kruger defends comments on Muslim immigration" (Illawarra Mercury, Tuesday, July 19, 2016) as an Australian citizen in a democratic society, Sonia Kruger is entitled to her opinion.
The issue that both News Corp columnist Andrew Bolt and TODAY Show host Sonia Kruger are raising is that terrorist attacks have been linked with Islam. Not Christians, Hindus or Buddhists.
The concern the average person has is within the Muslim community there are groups of Islamists who believe in jihad against Western Civilisation and democratic freedoms that we value.
Australia's highest security prison reportedly houses an extremist ISIS gang that has threatened to behead correctional officers and inmates unless they convert to radical Islam. Imagine if this gang was still "free" in society?
However, Australian progressives in politics and social media are displaying just how wonderfully open-minded they are by mercilessly abusing TV host Sonia Kruger for daring to voice her opinion on Muslim immigration.
This is the standard modus operandi of the supposedly tolerant left which includes harassment, intimidation and ultimately silencing dissenting voices. Kruger has been personally insulted, abused, bullied and threatened and even compared to Hitler. She has even been encouraged to kill herself.
Australians are sick of their politicians and media elite refusing to speak about the issues that matter to them. If people do not agree with Sonia Kruger then debate her with some facts and counterpoints, not crazy hate-driven abuse.

BAN RUGBY LEAGUE?
It was stated recently, in regard to the greyhound industry, that "it had lost its social licence". If this is the case, then when is the Premier going to ban rugby league?
With all the rorts, abuse of drugs, abuse of alcohol, abuse of women and indiscriminate thuggery fuelled by alcohol surely league has now lost its "social licence"?
