    In case anyone was under any illusions about the intentions of the 'hate speech' laws passed by federal and state governments in recent months, consider the official governmental and media responses to the campaign of hateful racist booing of Aboriginal elders at ANZAC Day ceremonies around the continent today.

    In Gadigal/Sydney, Naarm/Melbourne, Tarndanya/Adelaide and Boorloo/Perth, organised groups of racist hecklers jeered and booed as Aboriginal elders (many of them also ADF veterans) gave a Welcome to Country or Acknowledgement of Country. The campaign was organised by some of the same far-right white supremacists behind the recent 'March for (White) Australia' rallies.

    In the flurry of media reporting and comments from politicians about how disgraceful the booing was, or saying how booing "misses the point", I have not managed to find a single article mentioning the obvious application of the new draconian hate speech laws to this very situation. Nor did I see a single call for prosecution from a politician. (Nor calls for politicians who have encouraged such hate to resign.)

    The double standard has always been obvious. But at times like this, it is utterly glaring.

  8. A quotation from Horace

    Like the Athenian miser, who was wont
    To meet men’s curses with a hero’s front:
    “Folks hiss me,” said he, “but myself I clap
    When I tell o’er my treasures on my lap.”
     
       [Ut quidam memoratur Athenis
    sordidus ac dives, populi contemnere voces
    sic solitus: ‘populus me sibilat, at mihi plaudo
    ipse domi, simul ac nummos contemplor in arca.’]

    Horace (65-8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
    Satires [Saturae, Sermones], Book 1, # 1, “Qui fit, Maecenas,” l. 64ff (1.1.64-67) (35 BC) [tr. Conington (1874)]

  11. Canadian fans booing the US national anthem before NBA and NHL games in Toronto and Vancouver.

  12. The fallout from #Trump's latest tariff action has spilled out onto the ice rink.

    #Canadian #hockey fans were heard #booing the #US #nationalanthem as it played ahead of a game between local team, the Ottawa Senators & visiting #American team, the #MinnesotaWild, on Saturday night, just a few hours after Trump's announcement.

  13. My 11 year old daughter also quipped that they should be called #Booing instead of Boeing 😄. (f h)

  14. Munching on #popcorn. Riffing on “#GroundhogDay.” #Booing loudly, scrolling their phones and strapping on their infants.

    By the time the #battle ended its #second day of #House members had run the gamut of ways to cope.
    Lawmakers sat in their chairs for hours, chatting among themselves, as #frustration (Republicans) and amusement (Democrats) failure to claim the chamber's top #gavel.

    If #Elmo buys Boing Boing, will it be called #Booing Booing?

    Apropos of nothing at all that might or might not have happened to a truly awful person recently.
