| | Beyond The Politics Of Left And Right |
 | | The Australian Establishment's politics is, for want of phrase, my scaffolding again, an attempt to use the labels of Left and Right against the people and their national cause. |
 | | But it is a powerful politics, able to motivate its supporters from the boardroom, to the parliament, to the agencies of state, to the university, to the media, to the Trotskyite street storm-trooper gangs, the dross who were out there screaming against Hanson and who now want the refugees freed from detention. |
 | | These New Right warriors, from the parliamentary cockroaches like the Abbott-Costello show through to so-called social-democrats like millionaire R. Hawke, and then arch-capitalists like Hugh Morgan, Frank Lowy and a host of others, set the ground for a horror-Australia where social rights are undermined, where all structures are dissolved to make exploitation simpler and efficient. |
