From what I've read about Abbot he seems to be an excellent guy.However it's unwise to equate the politics of Oz with ours today.Osama Obama’s was elected because he's black.It's that simple.My understanding is that race isn't nearly as big an issue there as it is here.If I'm correct in that assumption it's easy to see why it's true.Oz has no history of slavery for starters.And there isn't 10% of their current population living there illegally demanding citizenship and government $$$.

You’d be right in your assumption if you correct it to a denial that slavery took place in OZ.

They tried to bury their own history. The Germans tried the same of the holocaust. The complete history of WWII was “neglected” in German schools. It wasn’t pretty when the truth came out. One of the reasons Germany has outlawed home schooling?

Racism is also strong in OZ. Seems to me that recently there was some sort of keep Australia white movement.

OZ is populated with people just as flawed and who made as many mistakes as Americans have. They also treated the Aboriginals pretty poorly.
