Turnbull and Dutton give up to racism whistles – It's our job not to bark

With the racist whistle between their lips, Turnbull and Dutton set the tone. It's up to us to make sure that our bark is less than our bite.

There is a noise in AusPol that we can not ignore. His height immediately grabs our attention – the racist whistle. Our ears sting, and we bark under the pulse. This week he was blown twice by those who have a very slim lead. Malcolm Turnbull and Peter Dutton

Yesterday, Turnbull, coming out of his remarkable hibernation, proclaimed loud and clear that there was "a real worry" for the seemingly marauding African gangs who track down Melbourne's evening streets . This goes against historically low crime rates in Melbourne, and is only supported by the Seven Chain clash and the Victorian Liberals who miraculously printed the same number on a dangerously pamphlet. close to the place broadcast.

But this is not How it sounds, because Malcolm was It's easy to dispel the chaos, but it's certainly not racism: "We have a zero tolerance for racism … Australia is the multicultural society the most successful in the world, it's one of our greatest successes. "

. @TurnbullMalcolm : There are Sudanese gangs in Melbourne. No one is thinking about the Sudanese people in general. The fact is that there is a problem of Sudanese gangs here and that it will not disappear by pretending that it does not exist.

Earlier this week, Peter Dutton took to the airwaves to denounce the existence of aliens, ranging up to $ 25,000. to claim that if we took fewer migrants, we would save more money. For what it's worth, we welcomed 162,417 people in 2017-2018 – well below the 190,000 ceiling, compared to 183,608 the year before.

Again, this is not what it gives, Dutton called the decrease in numbers in logic: "We actually bring more productive people because we do not bring people who have made false statements. "

We all know what they really say, as we know what the next election will do. to be fought in the name of: fighting "the other", saving us from a mysterious and evil force. This thing we blame, but never humanize. Waiting lines, African gangs, migrants cost taxpayers.

"We have totally stopped the boats until it is in our political interest to say that they have recommenced and we will stop them again." – @PeterDutton_MP #auspol

The subtext is as obvious as it is direct. But that's where we come in. We are conditioned to answer. A trigger for us to bark at the dark silhouettes of the fence. It's a provocation, a sharp collection of consonants that pushes millennials to arm themselves with their best gif / photoshop skills, and the older generation to do their best. This is the opportunity to choose fights with the opposite. It's a Pavlovian trigger to fight each other, and not them. That's the standard canine logic. We hear barking, we bark back.

This election is going to be quite long. It will be longer if we choose to put our neighbors in some boxes and close them. We are a nation of "others", our national identity is empty, it depends on who you are. We are all different, and we are all the same. Basically, we all know that migration is what makes us, us . We learn this as children, but as adults, we stop our education, instead of choosing to count the cost.

We get lost in combat. Each daily argument supplants the other. It's hard to follow. That's exactly what we learned in the US elections. There are many fragmentary issues around our brains, we are unable to concentrate, so we are horrified, we shrug our shoulders and bad things happen as we try to get examples.

The key here is to not forget who is the antagonist save our loudest barking on polling day.
