Miranda Devine’s ingenuity in finding a way to indict her opponents for this tragedy shows us why she gets the big bucks. Her last column argued that “the left” was culpable because they offered assistance to those who might be subject to racist attacks through the #illridewithyou campaign – because Monis was a Muslim. Devine says: Denial, deflection, projection. They see themselves as morally superior to the rest of Australia, which they imagine as a sea of ignorant rednecks. In their eyes the threat is not terrorism but Islamophobia. I cant speak for anyone else, but I only claim to be superior to Miranda Devine - and thats no great achievement, I fear.
