        I’m guessing you were referring to the “Lock out these refugee thugs. Rape outrage the last straw as migrants flout our laws”

        What you haven’t seen is below that it saids “Taken from the Herald Sun”

        Here’s the article

        https://www.crikey.com.au/2007/02/21/the-latest-hot-button-issue-scary-sudanese-people/

        Although I can’t read the entire article, given the initial tone and Crikey’s history, I’m going to say it’s going to be critical of the right wing media framing

        Given this article was from 2007, well before Crikey’s sale, I’m going to say that yes it was a credible news source then.

          You know that's fair enough. I really just wanted the opportunity to talk about how much I hate racist Australians.
