Australia: Learn from Ankara Blasts: Lib Senator


THE DAILY TELEGRAPH (AU): A LIBERAL senator has warned Australians against resorting to the deadly violence seen in Turkey to express disapproval of controversial Dutch MP Geert Wilders.

MR Wilders has been given a visa to enter Australia for the launch of an anti-Islam party, upsetting Muslim leaders who fear it will prompt more ill feeling against their community.
