Sonia Kruger is just a white racists

I'm not muslim, but she should be allowed to voice her opinion, even if it is based on fear, hysteria and a lack of rational thought. Then again, she is not on the idiot box for her magnificent brain is she.

I fully agree with her comments.

So any fanatic of any other religion is welcome but no muslims according to Sonia...OK

beverleywang Checkout operator at Woolies and Sonia Kruger....same.

What a slapper

I dont agree with what she said to ban all muslims because of extremists is absurd...however...how do we differentiate between regular islamic migrants & terrorist islamic migrants? As we must find out a way to or else we are letting in terrorists which we cannot...Solution?

It is difficult to express an opinion without offending someone today. There is little tolerance towards an alternate perspective. So many of those preaching equality and understanding are hypocrites.

I wonder if she's Christian.

Let us all hope that in future, all television presenters become as bland as can possibly be, regardless of race creed or colour. Then, television will will be a place where nothing of importance is discussed and no one is offended, regardless of their race, creed or colour.

Sounds like the decision of a committee.

It’s called free speech.

Obviously religion and race are different. That doesn’t excuse her bigotry.

She did not vilify anyone. She spoke the truth. Have we become so precious we can no longer say what everyone else is thinking. This is a tactic of the Left. If you dare speak out they will name, blame and shame you into silence as a racist, homophobe, xenophobe, transphobe etc

Semantics.

I agree with Sonia!

Sonya Kruger shouldn't have shot her mouth off so readily. She needs to think and not rely so much upon ridiculous stereotypes.

The tribunal needs to take a good hard look at itself and wake up, get of PC train and think for yourself not the way the vocal minority of the far left want you to think. It is decisions like this in the name of righteous 'Group Think' that make me ashamed to be a lefty :(

We need to go to Australia and mass breed to replace these invaders

Wait is she Sonia Kruger or Sonia Cougar? Can't decide but danm girl she fine and strong 😎💞

No one likes it when you hit the nail on the head

She isn't the only person I have heard say the same thing. Should being scared and wanting distance from violence perpetrated by some Islamists be called out as vilification? Obviously not everyone in Australia agrees.

A shocker

She was just telling the truth. She only spoke. They killed!

White lady expresses how White people feel two years ago which triggered a taxpayer tribunal process to concur it's OK to say mean things about people. Wow. fragilemulticulturalism

Despite the anti-islam/muslim sentiments, this reply section has actually been quite tame. Very rare of those sorts.

I’ve had these people who carry on about speak their mind about how our country is being changed Im with you Sonia stay strong I’ll walk with you on this

She’s expressing a concern, in a human and authentic way. There is an obvious link between Islam and the terror events she’s referring to. I think she’s brave to share what is likely to be an unpopular opinion. Her concern for her community shouldn’t be attacked.

AlistairPDBain There is a difference between vilified and vilification, and I applaud the tribunal for making this distinction

How is it vilifying Muslim’s ? Islam is the major link to terrorism in this country , I guess the truth hurts but when it comes to Muslims the truth is against the law .

Geez, the west has been criticizing the freedom of speech in China. After living in Aus for many years, I can honestly say, we enjoy more freedom of speech in China. 😂

Oh what has become of Australia. Too many sensitive people who reach for the law book at first opportunity. And then there are those who want certain religions to be the rule of law

Racial Vilification - no Religious Vilification - hell yeah Put everyone in one basket because of religious belief - fuck yeah

Sonia should feel comfortable to say what she believes without fear of vitriolic persecution in return. As a middle aged, middle class, white Australian woman, her opinion is potentially reflective of a large portion of this country and should be acknowledged.

Can someone elaborate what this means? Does she get punished or business as usual get promoted even further for being racist Australian style?

It’s not racial vilification it’s a religion.

if christians and scientologists and flying spaghetti cult worshipers can all be vilified at no penalty of Law, so should muslims only moral cowards cuck themselves into a double standard, and political correctness is an authoritarian movement

Well, she just doesn't like people who are not of the same faith as she is, pity I know some lovely Muslims.

Catholic priest raping all the children but let's blame muslims

I just had a muslim taxi driver tell me women were all pretty useless that is why everyone wants male children. I wanted to pinch him on the face but I resisted the urge 😇

Free speech. So important

Qldaah How nuanced....

This doesn't make her a nicer person.

lhilakari The usual mix of nasty people and dummies backing her in the comments🙄

Good onya Sonia, stick it up them!!!

How many times has she been ‘vilified’ ? When will we see the results of that tribunal ?

luv u Sonia

Of course not, because Islam isn’t a race 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm not a racist, I'm just a bigot

Muslim means a person who follows the will of God. It's not a religion!

All the country are emigrants and now they thought they can stop other emigrants to come 😂

Terrible Country Australia 🙄 oh but wait people still want to get here 🤔 outrage

This blonde theory is not as silly as it sounds.

Go Sonia , Many Australians agree 100%

Wait... what?

So she did vilify & deserved tge crap she got.....but got off on a technicality 👍

I don’t know what’s happening... but I’m outraged

Who watches this crap?

Just another dopey female presenter.

TheTodayShow Today is just too whitewashed and is not a clear representation of the Australia today.

People can say what ever like!

Who watches this dumb person? Channel 9 continue to push her on air

Too bad we can’t close out such intolerance but then it’s a country of free speech etc. Will just have to call it out for the ignorant intolerance it is.

Bullshit.

'We are fools not to change our own immigration policies to protect ourselves,' Bolt said. Did Bolt vilify someone too? Or is he speaking common sense?

Agree with you Sonia...

There you go snowflakes, official verification that nobody who speaks against Islam is racist! So stop with the empty name calling! As for vilifying them, how can giving an opinion of who should be allowed to come to your country vilifying. She didn’t call them insulting names!

No she engaged in bogan fuckwitted ignorance and who cares what she thinks anyway

I agree with her.

that would be because 'muslim' is not a race. And no we shouldn't be taking in people who don't have common values as we do bc of their religion.

toss her into the ocean
