Peter Dutton’s comments this week about illiterate and innumerate refugees did not sit well with the Australian public. He is just about as popular as home-brand milk right now.
The Immigration Minister’s remarks about refugees who “languish in unemployment queues and on Medicare and the rest of it” did not just spark outrage among the Australian immigrant population… it also attracted the ire of media commentators including Karl Stefanovic who called him downright “un-Australian.”
There is one positive outcome though. The internet has been flooded by stories of immigrant success.
A group of creatives from the advertising industry have also come together to create the I Am A Boat Person campaign. Their aim is to create and distribute a collection of posters that highlight the positive impact Asylum Seekers can have on Australia by using examples of real-life success stories.

And this, people is the Dutton who wants to be our PM. He should have resigned a long time ago, multicultural Australia does not need his abuse. And if you think Australia should not be multicultural, well, you can go back to the UK and leave Australia to it's original inhabitants, as that is what Australia would be like with no immigration! We are all welcome here, but we should be working together, not abusing others.
The standard of political journalism in Australia is appalling. Dutton's comments have been hijacked by the pc brigade despite speaking the truth. We demand truth from our politicians and then when we get it there's an uproar.
