'Racist' Australia compared to Apartheid South Africa by UN Human Rights commissioner

Ah, the UN and their little "Human Rights" campaigners who flit around the globe and preach to first world countries about how to treat non-White people. Navi Pillay, a UN Human Rights Commissioner, is concerned about Australia's treatment of 'asylum' seekers. Ms Pillay, a former anti-Apartheid campaigner (says it all really) and a South African, is another useful idiot and it's time to point out a few things to her. Firstly, the UN has countries like Angola, Cameroon, China, Congo, Cuba, Jordan, Kyrgyzstan, Libya, Mauritania, Qatar, Russia and Saudi Arabia on their Human Rights Council and you expect me to take your opinion seriously? Seriously?? Secondly, go pick on a country that really has no human rights, like Cuba, before coming to a White western country, where you get to stay in top hotels, drive in luxury vehicles and experience first class treatment. Hey, here's an even better idea - why don't you go to Zimbabwe, just the other side of your homeland and rant at Mugabe?? Let's see how serious you really are about human rights. Thirdly, the intervention policy for Aborigines that you pull your nose up at, is for their own good. It curbs them from spending their welfare money on alcohol, which is a huge problem in their community. This, in turn, helps to stop the rampant child sexual abuse - which, according to Bleeding-Heart Pillay, is not a good thing. Yeah, rather give Aborigines free money so they can booze it up and rape kids! Pillay says she could sense the deep hurt and pain that the Aborigines have suffered because of government policies that are imposed on them. Funny, but there a many true Aborigines that think the intervention is a good thing - but what would they know, right? Give me a break, you stupid liberal marxist communist. Bugger off back to Africa, where you can go lecture your own ANC government about human rights - a government which turns a blind eye to all the corruption, nepotism, crime, genocide and abuse going on in that country. Australia can look after herself, and believe it or not, without your help.

Bleeding heart, Navi Pillay

The United Nations' top human rights watchdog has attacked Australia's tough refugee policies and the treatment of outback Aborigines, saying there was a strong undercurrent of racism in the country.           

According to UN Human Rights Commissioner Navi Pillay, long-standing policies of locking up asylum seekers had 'cast a shadow over Australia's human rights record', and appeared to be completely arbitrary.

'I come from South Africa and lived under this, and am every way attuned to seeing racial discrimination,' she said.

The 69-year-old is a former anti-apartheid campaigner and international criminal court judge, and she was speaking to reporters at the end of a six-day visit.

'There is a racial discriminatory element here which I see as rather inhumane treatment of people, judged by their differences, racial, colour or religions,' she said yesterday.

Before she left Pillay held talks with Prime Minister Julia Gillard and expressed deep concern about the minority Labor government's latest plan to send hundreds of asylum seekers to Malaysia for refugee processing, hoping to appease voter concern about asylum seekers arriving by boat.
The government has been struggling to handle the flow of illegal immigrants and earlier this month said it had struck a deal with Kuala Lumpur to ensure asylum-seekers caught heading to Australia would be sent to Malaysia, which is not a signatory of the U.N. refugee convention.   

More than 900 people, mostly from Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran and Sri Lanka, have arrived in Australia so far this year.

A total of 134 boats carrying 6,535 people turned up last year, prompting the government to harden immigration policy.               

While Pillay's criticism may cause Australia some discomfort internationally, it is unlikely to convince Gillard or her conservative political opponents to change tack, given polls showing wide voter concern about border security.

She also criticised an 'intervention' policy.

It was introduced by the former conservative government and continued by Gillard.

It places controls on welfare spending for Aborigines to help fight alcohol and child sex abuse in remote outback areas.     

'In my discussions with Aboriginal people, I could sense the deep hurt and pain that they have suffered because of government policies that are imposed on them,' she said.          

Australia's 460,000 Aborigines make up about 2 per cent of the population.

They suffer higher rates of unemployment, substance abuse and domestic violence than other Australians, as well as having a 17-year gap in life expectancy.
