Which prime minister oversaw the passage of the Immigration Restriction Act 1901, the legislative basis of the White Australia policy?

Which soon to be prime minister took charge of the drafting?

Which prime minister declared the White Australia policy to be the nation’s “greatest achievement”?

The answers are Edmund Barton, Alfred Deakin and Billy Hughes.

So why were the busts of Tony Abbott and John Howard at the Prime Ministers Avenue in the Ballarat Botanic Gardens attacked over the weekend?

Easy. The little leftie vandals appear to have all the advantages of a modern educashun — none at all. They’ve been taught by equally ignorant leftie “educationalists” simply to hate the powers that be.

No history. No context. No perspective. Simply hate — and ignorance.
