Today in dispatches from the wild world of The Australian‘s opinion section. Jennifer Oriel, political researcher and occasional apparatchik of free market thinktank Institute of Public Affairs, has written a fun screed about the immense discrimination faced daily by society’s most victimised demographic: heterosexual white males. It was so good, obviously, that the paper’s editors catapulted it onto the front page:
Any doubt that Labor is captive to neo-Marxism was dispelled by its campaign to enforce compulsory queer political programming of schoolchildren under the misnomer “Safe Schools”.
“The racial classification “white” is attributed generally to people of Celtic, English or European descent. In academe, it is common to find statements about the group that would be classified as hate speech if applied to any other. When I was an undergraduate, the phrase “the only good male is a dead white male” was ubiquitous in the humanities.”
As economist and writer Tom Westland, writes on Twitter, that particular turn of phrase is so ubiquitous that Oriel appears to have coined it herself:

And in true, shining form, the piece ends with a reference to ‘Animal Farm’, because conservatives appear to not have read any books that aren’t critiques of the Soviet Union published in 1945.
