UN human rights chief slams Australia for making asylum seekers 'convenient scapegoats'The United Nations' leading voice on human rights has flagged serious concerns with Australia's asylum seeker policies. Remind me why anyone should care what the unelected socialist parasites at the UN have to say? I notice they had nothing to say when people were drowning by the boatload due to our virtue signaling politicians and their lax border security. Would she like us to return to that? Former President of Chile from the Chilean Socialist Party. Say no more.....

I realise that the laughable SBS likes to act as the mouthpiece for the UN, but we, as a sovereign nation, are under no compulsion to take any notice whatsoever of the socialist parasites at the UN. Nor is any other country. Which is why the UN is largely ignored and laughed at.
