So when one of Labors poorly screened refugees commits an act of terror at one of your children’s, or grandchildrens primary schools, or some other public place dense with people, despite ASIO having already established that the culprit had in fact already been convicted of multiple terrorist offences elsewhere around the world, and had been subject to an Interpol Red Notice also....

Don't complain kids, or else you will be labelled a red-necked racist bogan by the left.

And remember, terrorists are people, and need somewhere to live too.

Sure, their hobbies and interests might be a little unorthodox, and their resumes might raise a few eyebrows also, but it all comes down to tolerance and understanding, celebrating diversity, and most importantly, saying, thinking and doing what’s politically correct.

Lets not discriminate, because terrorists may now call Australia their home too.
