Imagine for a moment you have a filthy rich benefactor happy to spend many tens of millions of dollars to allow you to try to convince your fellow Australians through blanket advertising that you just might be a racist, ignorant, dumbfuck son/daughter of an appalling un-Australian moronic, braindead, bastard/bitch.

You wouldn’t do it, would you? But, wait, there’s someone who has!

Meet Australia’s next prime minister come late next Saturday night. Well, it will be Suellen Wrightson, leader of the Trumpets of Patriots if Clive Palmer’s racist, moronic, rabble can get enough seats!

Now, we at The Bug can’t say for sure Wrightson (far, far, right, at top) is a racist. But it’s clear that Wrightson like all far right wingers is deliberately pandering to racists/ or deliberately stoking racism. So what does that make her?

Wrightson might be the only person in Australia stupid enough to declare publicly that she doesn’t know any First Nations people and …. wait for the clincher … “knows nothing about them”. Where the fuck did she go to school? The Tony Abbott Primary for Lobotomised Learning?

She knows nothing about the oldest surviving civilisation in the world? Their amazing story of survival in arguably the world’s harshest land? Be that true, do we need medical proof that Wrightson lacks the two brain synapses required to rub together to spark just a hint of logical, decent, thought?

Of course, the argument that we whities shouldn’t have to be welcomed to our own country is racist rubbish stolen like aboriginal land from Australia’s white indigenous leader Pauline “I am not a racist” Hanson. Will Hanson sue?

I’m pretty sure all you BUGgers out there would know instinctively that, like Hanson, Wrightson thinks it’s a rock-solid white and black argument that shouting “white lives matter too” and “all lives matter!” makes perfect sense. Will we ever close the gap between what these two say and sensible, decent, thought?

Didn’t Dutton’s dopey dunces in Parliament voted for that exact sentiment put up by Aunty Pauline?

We also wouldn’t be losing any money if we had a bet that Wrightson would have been secretly applauding that Nazi piece of work who booed the welcome-to-country speech in Melbourne’s main Anzac Day Dawn Service.

I suppose we should be grateful that in calling for a massive reduction in immigration – another monster dog-whistling effort stolen from the It’s Our Nation playbook – Wrightson has shown restraint by not claiming that these immigrants are rapists and murderers who’d rather eat our cats and dogs than give them a pat. Not yet, anyway.

The latest polling has the Trumpets of Patriots on about 2 per cent primary vote. Great return on investment, Fat Man! That’s 2 per cent more than it deserves but at least it gives us all hope that, just maybe, Oz is not quite as racist as the successful No campaign’s “the darkies are being offered something we whities aren’t being offered!” and “Albo cares more about the Abos than he does about you whities struggling in the city’s outer suburbs!” very base arguments.

EDITOR’S NOTE: In searching our archives for footage to go with this column, we found this historic snap of someone called Wally “Coon Catcher” Wrightson. Same surname but no relation that we know of.
