I wonder where some men keep their brains

Many Australians, like many Americans, are fed up with politicians who appear to be riding roughshod over their concerns and ignoring their requests and opinions. We now have our own 'Donald Trump' who would be a nightmare as a leader but who is causing the three major parties to take notice. It won't hurt them to be shaken up a bit but there is no way that Pauline Hanson would be a great leader for our country.
Her One Nation party is running a number of candidates in the March elections. One of them is David Archibald who is standing for the seat of Pilbara in northern Western Australia. Our former Prime Minister, Tony Abbott, suggested in 2015 that living in remote indigenous communities was a 'lifestyle choice'.
Archibald has written an article nominating ' lifestyle choices that could be defunded'. His first choice in this area is single Mums who, he says, are too lazy to attract and hold a mate, undoing the work of possibly 3 million years of evolutionary pressure. This will result in a rapid rise in the portion of the population that is lazy and ugly.'
I cannot believe that anyone could think like this let alone put such an opinion forward into the public arena as a legitimate comment. Ms Hanson has already had to dismiss some of her potential candidates. This is another one that needs to go.
One Nation's candidate for the WA seat of Pilbara says taxpayers should not support single mums who are too lazy to keep a partner.

Sounds like you could potentially have a nim-rod 'ruler' too in the future.

Now I haven't heard that expression in a very long time. You're probably right @AbbyGreenhill.

He also says the 'stolen generations' are a myth which should lose him all the support of the indigenous people although he claims to be part-aboriginal himself. The stolen generations were all the young aboriginals who were taken from the families and communities and brought up in missions (mainly) and taught to conform to the ways of the Europeans. There is no way this is a myth as there are people still living who went through the ordeal.

Wow! Just Wow! I'm sure your entire country is up in arms over this statement. Our own new president made some horribly off color remarks during the election process and I am stunned he was actually elected.

@JudyEv You'd think..
I know that at times these things can be taken out of context, they mean it one way but their words came out wrong and the media pounces on that.. because of course scandal sells..
But knowing that you'd think they'd be even more careful with their words!

@katsmeow1213 He has said a few other things which won't win him many friends either. We don't need people like this in our parliament.

Surely they must know that they will alienate many with these sorts of remarks.

How do people make such remarks and continue to me in place? Is anyone going to challenge his behavior/comments/opinions?

@PatZAnthony with the political climate the way it is, Pauline (One Nation) decided she wanted to stand as many people as possible. She couldn't manage all the interviews herself I guess so she got an elderly couple in our capital Perth to vet the candidates in this state. I guess this one slipped through the radar.

No-one in Australian even is familiar with this person. 
It was one way to get his name in the paper I guess.

He is up against the man (leader of the 3rd biggest party) who have us our Royalties for Regions (money for small towns to do something significant) so I very much hope Archibald doesn't oust him. He would be a very poor substitute.

He sounds quite Trumpish. I don't understand how any of these people are getting noticed and even elected.

Something wrong with the morals of these people.
Something is seriously wrong with their supporters.
The economy of Australia has just started to pick up after a long decline of mineral prices, the last thing the country needs is idiots to head the country.
