Can we keep **Michael McCormack** as Acting Prime Minister? In just two days, Big Mac has done more to take the fight up to the left than **Scott Morrison** has done in nearly three years.

First, McCormack got the left’s knickers in a twist by [attacking Twitter’s ban](https://goodoil.news/australian-government-defends-free-speech/) on US President **Donald Trump**, and by correctly noting that the violent, unhinged “Black Lives Matter” movement – with the explicit encouragement of the media and the left – had committed far worse crimes than the Capitol protesters. McCormack also pointedly refused to join the conga line of leftist cretins and “condemn” the President.

**Now “Big Mac” has sent the left into a shrieking meltdown by daring to suggest that all people, of all colours, are equally worthwhile.**

> Acting Prime Minister Michael McCormack has stepped up his comparisons between last week’s pro-Trump insurrection at the US Capitol and the Black Lives Matter protests of last year, using a controversial catchcry often favoured by hard-right activists in Australia and the US.

Note the *ad hominem* fallacy, there, not to mention the deliberate conflation of opinion with reporting. “Hard-right” is a journalist’s opinion, not a fact. More to the point, it matters not one whit whether the phrase is favoured by the right, the left or the local Apex club: is it a reasonable opinion?

> **If the left and their media lapdogs would care to explain why all lives do *not* matter, then I’d like to hear it. Because arguing otherwise sounds an awful lot like racism, to me.**

> After only two days acting in Scott Morrison’s role, Mr McCormack has become the centre of Labor’s attacks on the government for his refusal to criticise **US President Donald Trump**’s incitement of the US Capitol riots, and for his comments about the Black Lives Matter movement.  
>  
> The Nationals leader has also defended controversial government MPs George Christensen and Craig Kelly, who have posted pro-Trump and COVID-19 conspiracy theories for months.

“Conspiracies” being the empirically demonstrable fact that **hydroxychloroquine** can be an effective treatment against the Wuhan plague, and that lockdowns and mass mask-wearing either do not work or are nowhere near as effective as proponents claim.

Nor did Trump “incite” anything: yet again, the media are blatantly lying.

And McCormack is absolutely right about BLM.

> “Irrespective of what the agenda of that (BLM) protest (was), the fact is there was violence, there was destruction … and there (were) lives lost,” he said. “There are a lot of people out there who are being a bit bleeding-heart and who are confecting outrage, but they should know that those lives matter too. All lives matter.”

Like a yapping Pavlov’s cur, Labor immediately began chasing its tail and snapping and whining.

> Opposition health spokesman **Chris Bowen** called on Mr McCormack to apologise for saying “all lives matter”.

> [The Australian](https://www.theaustralian.com.au/nation/politics/michael-mccormack-doubles-down-on-comparison-between-us-capitol-riot-and-black-lives-matter-protest/news-story/7a97015073a8d0a5d20bd7841988ffc6?ref=goodoil.news)

So, Chris Bowen thinks it’s offensive to aver that all people, no matter what their skin colour, equally deserve to be treated with dignity?

If all lives **don’t** matter, Chris, kindly inform us just which lives you think don’t matter, so we can know exactly what kind of racist you are.

**Meanwhile, I’m backing “Big Mac” for PM.**
