Aussie moviemaker BAZ LUHRMANN is urging America’s President-elect BARACK OBAMA to thank his lucky stars he wasn’t born Down Under - because he would never have got the chance to become a world leader.
Perhaps, it is a rare Australian’s testimony to realities of still existing in a distant spot of the Earth xenophobic neo-feudalism institutionally grounding the best-preserved England-originating Jurassic Park Australia known is.
Would one acquainted with ex-premier minister J Howard’s prophesies on US-election-2008 be wondering at Mr. B. Luhrmann’s comments completely supported by a range of Australian celebrities while naturally initiating a patriots’ sharp disapproval ?
A last producer’s movie, “Australia” is being now screening round a globe, and it reflects as clear from reviews a real state of affairs in procedures-infested tyranny of xenophobia and racism covered with exotic features of kangaroos and platypuses for foreign consumption.
Although explicitly Anglo-xenophobic national-liberal Howard government was in Australia forced out of a power a year ago to a date, one must not be naïve thinking that discrimination on biological origin in education , at job market and simply in shops had gone already.
And this reality of a cancerous biological hatred of non-UK-natives is what the US and oncoming US President should surely be concerned of while customarily enduring democracy and human rights round a globe.
