If only all our politicians stop the politically correct spin and be as refreshingly straight forward as this guy! I'm sure you won't see this interview aired in the mainstream media. Part of the transcript of an interview aired on Al Jazeera that a friend sent me, where Scott Morrison, MP was invited for comment. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

INTERVIEW ON CHARLIE HEBDO KILLINGS
MORRISON: Im sorry. I have to interrupt here. Im sorry I am not going to sit here and listen to people stupidly suggest that the French or the magazine or anyone brought this on themselves. Are you for real? We have a dozen people dead, killed in the name of a religious belief and you are seriously going to even slightly justify this? COMPERE: I dont think anyone is justifying anything here. MORRISON: Well thats not what I am hearing. Im hearing this vaguely worded defence that France shouldnt have done this and Sarkozy said that two years ago, and if they didnt draw Mohammed then this might not of happened or whatever. It is obscene and a gutless way of almost saying they all deserved this. Well if you believe that you are about as bad as the idiot who thinks the pretty girl in the short skirt is asking to be raped so she better watch out. COMPERE: Thats a ridiculous comparison. MORRISON: Is it ridiculous? Tell me how? Its the you were asking for it way of thinking. Your logic is those who drew the pictures should have known better and should have known what the response would be. Where as I say, if you cant accept that people have different views to you then maybe the problem is with you if your response is the pull out an AK and go nuts. COMPERE: Well, the material was designed to offend. MORRISON: And so what. A lot of what Ive heard here today has offended me but if youre civilised, and I think thats a major issue with some of the people we are talking about, if you are civilised you just get on with it. We shouldnt have to have special rules for special people. COMPERE: No-one is suggesting special rules just an understanding that some things are offensive. MORRISON: So OK, we can have a bit of fun with the Pope, with Buddha, Jesus Christ on the Cross, The Dalai Lama, The Queen, Barack Obama. Want to add to the list? But not anything or anyone associated with Muslims. Theyre special apparently. And thats where all this free speech talk Im hearing falls to bits. If you defend free speech then you defend offensive speech as well. Its real easy to stand up for the nice stuff but sometime it gets ugly and if you are fair dinkum, as we say in Australia, you stand for all. Now, Im not fond of Jesus Christ jokes but if you crack one you shouldnt fear a few goons showing up with AK47s and shooting everyone in the office dead at their desks. So please, spare me the justification garbage for these terrorists being upset and just responding to provocation. If you think they are even slightly justified for killing people who drew some pictures then Im afraid you are over in their column. COMPERE: OK I take your point but if you deliberately set out to offend there are consequences. MORRISON: Yes there are. People might not buy your magazine or you get nasty letters in the mail from upset people but not a dozen of your workmates dead at their desks, and here we are again talking about consequences. Its back to the same argument as the pretty girl in the bar example. If you think shes asking to be raped you are, in my view, unfit for civilised society. You are uncivilised and maybe thats something we should be spending a bit of energy on. * * End * * Transcript produced by iSentia
