That would make a great T-shirt.
Oh please. Malcolm Fraser was an anti-communist to the point of supporting Pol Pot over the Vietnamese installed government in Cambodia. He’d be rolling in his grave looking at this shit.
T-shirt!
Oh Draco! Don’t you get the joke? The whole point is exactly that Fraser was forever an anti-communist warrior and yet the increasingly noxious proto-fascist Abbott Liberals would view Malcolm as depicted in this picture. Furthermore, many on the Left regarded Malcolm as a hero because he stood by his earlier stance on multiculturalism and asylum-seeker policy when the rest of his party went Hansonite under Howard ultimately leading to Fraser’s defection. Of course there is more to it because who would have thought in his final interviews he would seem to have been parroting Noam Chomsky on the US industrial/military complex and global domination and the role of Pine Gap. Yep, strange times indeed.
