African gangs scare campaign: there must be an election coming

It has started again.

This week鈥檚 statement by Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull that there is 鈥済enuine concern about Sudanese gangs鈥 suggests we have reached the epitome of this ongoing scare campaign. Offering the same rhetoric the Victorian Liberals have has been drumming out for the best part of the past two years, Turnbull unashamedly entered the fray.

African community hits back at Dutton鈥檚 racist hysteria

There is a popular folk saying: 鈥淚f it looks like a duck, swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck鈥.

The Malcolm Turnbull government鈥檚 hysterical warnings about 鈥淪udanese gangs鈥 in Melbourne certainly look and sound like a blatant case of trying to stir up a racist moral panic that can be used to his political advantage.
