You were right about starting to get shit thrown around with that remark!!! 
you little Redneck Fuck!!
Paul Keating said sorry and publicly revealed the horrors these people went 
through (in his great speech in Redfren Park in 1992) and were there 
millions of dollars in phony law suits then??? no
Just the beginning of a public understanding and support for people that has 
missed out on it for too long!
And all Howard has done has brought it upon himself to waste our tax payers 
dollars turning back every bit of landmark policy Keating put in place. (yes 
i am pissed off and yes i am a Keating and Gough Whitlam fan! so fucking 
shoot me!!!).

            All the best wishes to the non Redneck Fucks out there who are 
not responsible for hate and xenophobia and the need to support the bastards 
who want to bomb the living daylights out of women and children for 
Oil!!!!!!,
                                        [name removed].
