Of course not all Liberal MPs are racists and bigots, but quite obviously a significant number are.<BR/><BR/>What is Nelson going to do about his miscreant MPs who deigned to not show up for (or bail out of) the apology - for personal reasons, rather than representative ones.<BR/><BR/>Those absent have been confirmed as Liberal MPs Sophie Mirabella (who has also denied the existence of a Stolen Generation), Wilson Tuckey, Don Randall, Alby Schultz, Dennis Jensen. And what about the recalcitrant Chris Pearce and his public fidgeting?<BR/><BR/>Sack ‘em all Brendan, for allowing their personal prejudices to dictate their actions rather than representing their electorates. Sheer bloody mindedness and disrespect. Shame.Peter Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11193189968913129464noreply@blogger.com
