On the neo-Nazi threat

White supremacists killed more people in the US last year than any other extremist group and this marked a 157% rise from the people killed by them the year before. But no one seems to be concerned much about them even though just last week a neo-Nazi group leader in Florida was charged with possessing bomb-making materials. If he were Muslim, different questions would have been asked and Islamophobes would have blamed Muslims unequivocally. As an Ahmadi Muslim who believes that extremism has no religion, I would like to know when we are going to discuss how to root out this extremism and why does no one ask where these people were radicalized?
This government is ideologically committed to destroying Medicare. I gave up PHI [private health insurance] two years after Howard introduced the rebate, because that’s all the time it took for the private funds to eat up the rebate with increased premiums.
On a different note, it isn’t just PHI. Have you looked at the premium rises for your comprehensive car insurance lately? Mine rose by 10%, and the insurer, NRMA were utterly unable to understand how that could be seen as a rort. They said my risk profile, which shouldn’t have changed, warranted the increase. You have to be thinking that if your risk has increased by 10% in one year, you’d be afraid for your life.
All insurance is fraudulent.
