Husic Nudges and Winks at Western Sydney

Jeez, it’s getting so an anti-Semite can’t bellow, “Gas the Jews!” any more without being judged, or something. In fact, it’s so bad, that a politician desperate to pander shamelessly for Muslim votes has to stump for anti-Semites’ rights. Labor frontbencher Ed Husic has defended
