This morning I was on Today when asked about Nick Kyrgios’ antics at Wimbledon.
During my answer, I said that if people like Nick don’t like it here, they should go back to where their fathers or their parents came from.
I added that we don’t need them here in this country if they act like that.
Well, haven’t people got upset over one little racist remark on national TV?
The truth is, I just said what other racists were already thinking. In fact, I’ve received a huge amount of support from other racists already.
In fact, I think my point has bipartisan support as a policy at a federal level.
It’s pretty unfair that if you go on national TV and say something racist that people then interpret that as racist.
How is telling someone to ‘go back to where you came from’ racist? It’s not like it’s a phrase so easily identified as racist that a TV show was made with that title.
It’s not my fault if people read things into it that are there.
Anyway, I’m just glad the interview finished before I worked in my ‘worse than ISIS angle’. Those left wing do-gooders would have been up in arms about that one.

She heard Steve Ciobo tell Zaky Mallah that he should be stripped of his citizenship and deported - even though he was born here and has no other citizenship so can you blame her? She's just telling it like the majority of fair dinkum Aussies who vote Liberal see it.

exactly ... even though she's not racist. She was just the spokesperson for all racists ... even though she's not racist.

TitusOReily we don't need blatant racist spokespeople in Australia. So she should go back where her ancestors came from.

I don't think so. Dawn is not a racist. She has many, many friends of diverse origins. She was the original Aussie sports rebel.

Just because you have friends of a particular nationality doesn't mean you can't have hated against them all.

I was watching that match - It was hilarious - his opponent also smashed his own racket at one point. It was a tense battle and Nick list it at one point, John McEnroe was asked about it he enjoyed it :). Did you read nicks response to dawn "Blatant racist, Australian legend." Awesome

Let's get this into perspective, Dawn is a great Australian, but used an unfortunate phrase when berating Nick. Who in turn behaved like a tennis brat. Both should apologise to each other, Nick needs to show respect to the country that has paid for his sport, he is an enormously talented player, but is young. So with some age will come wisdom.. Storm in a tea cup - both his tantrum and Dawns racist remarks.. End of story.
