dave88 1,565 Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 I thought that speech looked a bit too ballsy for any politician from any country to have the guts to say Quote Link to post Share on other sites
walshie 2,804 Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 If only she had really said that, but she didn't. It's one of those urban myth things. It's been a round for a long time. Oops just saw BB beat me to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Blackbriar 8,569 Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 I've mentioned the Hungarian PM Viktor Orban a couple of times now. Here is a popular national leader who unapologetically actually says what he means - no misquotes or false attributions ! http://www.dw.com/en/hungarys-orban-tells-germany-you-wanted-the-migrants-we-didnt/a-42065012 http://www.dw.com/en/hungarys-orban-threatens-pro-refugee-ngos-slams-muslim-immigration/a-42638009 https://www.ft.com/content/7ecde2c2-af12-329a-9133-29a7bee08e31 And there's lots more..............(but my Hungarian friend gets annoyed ! He says it should be Orban Viktor.....) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Silversnake 1,099 Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 Definitely too hardline to be Ms Gillard, Tony Abbott who succeeded her as PM did take a similar stance to Islamic immigration to that article. I am no fan of him but I agreed with him On this point. From what I know of Victor Orban I am a fan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
