Don Arthur joins the fray on Theo Dalrymple (real name = Anthony Daniels?, real nationality = ?, real occupation = ?). As Don points out, although the Australian right loves Dalrymple’s claim that most (British) asylum seekers are bogus, they are in something of a bind. Unlike the genuine refugees, who are merely fleeing persecution, Dalrymple observes that the “illegals” are entrepreneurs willing to risk life, limb and liberty in the search for economic opportunity for themselves and their families – just the sort of people the CIS, IPA and the rest of the alphabet soup of right wing think tanks ought to love. But as far as I can tell, every notable organisational manifestation of the free-market right, with the exception of Gerard Henderson’s Sydney Institute has line up behind Pauline Hanson (and her more successful imitator, John Howard) on this issue.
