PM joins the Dutton gang

The editorial, “Gang of fear” (July 21–27), was excellent. Peter Dutton is indeed racist. When he says he wants the right people, we know he means white people. It is sad that the prime minister, Malcolm Turnbull, whom I had once regarded as a fair-minded person, is now spouting the same slander against the Sudanese in Melbourne, just before the elections. The fact remains, according to crime statistics, 71.7 per cent of offenders are Australian, and 1 per cent are Sudanese.
