I have always wondered at the appointment of Tim Wilson as Human Rights Commissioner, with his ultra-conservatism and Liberal to the right tendencies. It hasn’t been a good fit. And never did seem an appropriate position for him.
Now he gets to run for a very safe Liberal seat … mmmm! If he becomes a member of Parliament (yes, I know the seat is super safe), let’s see exactly who he is pro-active on behalf of.
Why didn’t you ask Wilson about his support for repealing section 18c of the Racial Discrimination Act to allow neo-Nazis deny the Holocaust.
Love the lack of depth of your work, not.
