Also worth noting that not only has Abbott failed to mention any Soviet involvement in his statement but has also forgotten to mention Britain.

What the gently caress. Just, what.

How to you get into a position of power while being this much of a self-aggrandizing prick.

I mean it doesn't even have any subtlety to it: it is straight up claiming the 'spirit of D-Day' and of WW2 as a whole for the ideology of highly aggressive unrestrained capitalism, currently polluting the world right now.

Yeah man, environment regulation is just like fascism that kills minorities (like reffos). That's what people signed up their lives for. Yep.

The D-Day landings were less about defeating Nazi germany, and more making sure the soviets didn't push all the way to the Atlantic. Something like 7/10 Nazis killed died on the Eastern Front (at incredible loss for the Soviets).

I'd assumed he only mentioned the countries he was visiting, since it would be out of character for him not to praise the Motherland given an opportunity.

The University of Western Sydney at least have frozen their fees, effectively taking a further 20% funding cut on top of the across-the-board cuts. Because they are good. :unsmith:

Deakin University have frozen their fees as well. They've come out against the budget and changes to higher education as well.

People dying rather then be sent back is like ye olde which trials where if you sank you were innocent.

That's assuming the government even acknowledges that they were a genuine refugee instead of constantly stating how regrettable it and not addressing it.

I'm fairly certain the Soviets were involved in the misdirection and misinformation campaign surrounding Overlord that led to Hitler refusing to commit reserves to Normandy until a couple of months after the landings, actions which significantly contributed to its success.

But anyway, point is that it was a massive multinational undertaking with a scope and purpose that appears to be utterly beyond the comprehension of Prime Minister of the Commonwealth of Australia Anthony John Abbott.

Come November and he'll be telling people to spend their minute of silence to ponder how great his government is and all the good work it's done in stomping in the face of the poor, helpless and disadvantaged.
