How did a leftie kid, who actually had the cojonies to get up and protest against the annexation of Hong Kong with 12 others, end up the darling the Australian right?

That is the question that should be sending shockwaves through the lattes of the fake left in the Labor Party and its vertical market media cheerleaders.

How many Labor Party MPs came out in support of Drew Pavlou? None that I know of.

How much coverage did the Labor Party press cheerleaders give Pavlou? The ABC a little. The Guardian almost none. Domain did better.

By contrast, a whole swag of Coalition, National Party, conservative independents, and right-wing press supported his campaign to fix the wrongs of his corrupt persecution at the hands of UQ and its CCP mates.

It’s not as if Pavlou is an unattractive figure to the left. He pursues human rights everywhere he goes. He’s climate change savvy. He’s of Greek heritage and a shining beacon of multicultural success, defending the very liberalism that makes it possible.

He damn near single-handedly unraveled the silent invasion of the CCP in our universities, striking a huge blow against tyranny in this country.

Yet the fake left’s silence speaks volumes. It barely said boo while this child was virtually persecuted from sight by the Chinese Communist Party within Australia.

This goes far beyond hypocrisy. It is extreme cognitive dissonance that privileges race over every other consideration be it class, fairness, climate or nation.

How can Australians possibly trust this totalitarianism with government?
