I think Katter is asking that guy where he can get a HSP.

It's definitely a traditional Lebanese nose, all out of joint.

I don't understand, Bob. Your grandfather was an immigrant from Lebanon. My Grandma was an immigrant from England. I see no difference. I have no idea why you'd be sensitive on this topic.
Even if your platform is 'Stop immigrants coming here', you can be proud of your Middle Eastern heritage and maintain that the present cultural mix of Australians is a part of our new local culture now, while saying we lack the infrastructure to take more immigration at this time. You'd even have something of a case worth discussing, if that were your platform.
But by being all huffy about your middle eastern heritage and combining it with talking points about integration, you're just being racist.
Accept that you aren't 100% white. Accept that Australia is not 100% white. Accept that our white Aussie kids are going to marry non-white Aussie kids - this is already happening and is already "normal" (if there is such a word). Australia is not and has never been a "white" country.

Just looked up a picture of the guy. His nose is more interested in sniffing his upper lip than I've ever been interested in anything in my entire life.
