UN lacking the proof to cry ‘torture’

For the United Nations to criticise Australia on human rights, given the extreme violations in many other countries, simply exposes its agendas and hypocrisy.

Only rich, predominantly white nations can be criticised.

What makes it even more galling in that, in so far that there are issues, they were created in the six years that the Labor Party was in power and the UN was more or less silent. It only becomes an issue to be criticised when a conservative government is elected, and can't fix the mess instantly.

When reading criticism of Western countries one can safely stop when they see “United Nations”,safe in the knowledge that to the UN all suffering,all death,all oppression,all injustices are the work of countries in which English is the predominant language.

What about torture in Cuba? Saudi Arabia? Iran?

In upside down world, if you adopt policies that encourage 100s of people to drown at sea, you are a humanitarian nation.

If you stop that policy and prevent 100s of people from drowning, you are an evil guilty white racist nation.
