Toxic Latham pushes welfare eugenics

God save me, via Herald Sun:

One Nation’s Mark Latham has attempted to explain how his DNA testing of people who claim Aboriginal ancestry would work.

The One Nation NSW party leader appeared on Today this morning, telling host Deborah Knight “a single dollar of wasted welfare money is a problem”.

The state party leader said his idea would stop “welfare rorters” and stop “self-identification”, claiming the idea was already working well in the US with Native Americans.

“What I’m saying is if the technology exists for the DNA ancestry testing, let’s use it,” Mr Latham told the breakfast show.

“Let’s find out the heritage of the people applying for indigenous programs and obviously if they have got very little or have got none, they are trying to rort the system, that’s no good.

“We should be respecting genuine indigenous identity and getting the money to the people in need who have got the genuine Aboriginal background.”

With the immigration war on workers in full roar, this garbage is what Mark Latham settles on to run his NSW tilt.

You bloody idiot.
