‘Victimology’: One Nation’s Mark Latham lays into Today host Brooke Boney over Australia Day comments. By Natalie Richards.

One Nation candidate Mark Latham has become the latest high-profile personality to lay into Today’s new host Brooke Boney after she described Australia Day as the “beginning of the end” for indigenous Australians.

A day after the network’s new presenter Boney’s sensational on-air speech, just days into her new job, Mr Latham slammed her words as “victimology” and “absurd”.

Boney told viewers, while she was proud of her country, she did not want to celebrate the national public holiday on January 26.

“I feel like I have almost more reason than anyone else to love this country as much as I do because I’m the oldest of six kids, a single mum. This is the best country in the world, no doubt,” she said.

“But I can’t separate the 26th of January from the fact that my brothers are more likely to go to jail than they are to go to school.

“Or that my little sisters and my mum are more likely to be beaten and raped than anyone else’s sisters or mum.

“And that started from that day. So for me it’s a difficult day and I don’t want to celebrate it.

The nonsense exposed:

Today, Mr Latham took aim at Boney over her suggestion the First Fleet were to blame for the issues facing her family.

“You decide: Have the Boney Brothers made a decision in life to break the law and be repeat offenders in jail, causing dreadful heartache to their family? Or did the First Fleet make them do it from 231 years ago?? Victimology reaches a new absurd high on the failing Today Show,” he wrote on Twitter.

“If we are the best country in the world (no doubt) it’s commonsense to celebrate the day on which Western civilisation arrived here, with the advanced technologies, rule of law, education, healthcare, civilised institutions etc etc that have made us GREAT!!”

Umm, who’s mainly doing the raping of Aboriginal women? Why is there so much Aboriginal domestic violence? Was it worse for Aboriginal women before 1788?

I think we all know the answers to those questions. But the media are training us not to ask those questions and not to think of the answers, because that might lead to non-PC conclusions.
