Provocative conservative speaker Milo Yiannopoulos is returning to Australia for another speaking tour, his last appearance is Australia drew large groups of protesters.
Promoting the tour on the Sky News program The Bolt Report Yiannopoulos said Australia had been infected by “diseases, toxins and cancers” that are political correctness, feminism and attacks on free speech.
Yiannopoulos said Australia was the last country in the world where you could tease and troll people and not get fired – and that was an attribute that needed to be protected.
Last time he spoke in Victoria police sent Penthouse magazine, the organisers of his appearance, a $50,000 bill to cover the costs. The organisation refused to pay the bill.
Yiannopoulos said the police had been “taken over” by left-wing forces and told lies about right win protesters.
“This is the most amazing this that the left does. First of all they take control institutions with these left wing political appointees like police chiefs and the rest of it, who tell blatant untruths about right wing protesters while protecting left wing protesters.” Yiannopoulos said.
The self described ‘professional troll’ said that because universities, politicians and the media in Australia were too left wing, a situation had arisen where respectable people were being charged for their own protection from “rabble rousing”.
Yiannopoulos said people who protest against his statements are “misguided weak minded morons”.
He finished his chat with Andrew Bolt saying that Australia was a place where people could still look at a person and stand up say “This person is ridiculous and has ridiculous ideas and we should stop pretending that they’re a serious intellectual.”
We’ve finally found something that we agree about….
