There is a level of support for the idea the disabled should be seperated from the rest of society in Australia as seen recently with the nationalist politician who said autistic students should be seperated from other students. That is probably true everywhere. I do not know if support for seperating the disabled is higher there or just more open there.


It's neither. This 'nationalist politician' you mention (Pauline Hanson) is the leader of a fringe minority party, one that will never garner enough support to win office and govern in its own right. Most of us do not agree with most of her views, because they are simplistic, jingoistic and divisive.


That is similar to what everybody said about Donald Trump

Pauline Hanson ran a fish and chip shop, became bankrupt and spent some time in jail. She may face jail time again over allegations of corruption over personal use of party funds. Trump at least can bankroll his election campaign or bribe people to get out of trouble (like this Russian business).
