A bold protest will hang over the South Sydney Rabbitohs as they attempt to keep their NRL premiership dreams alive in tonight’s semi-final against the St George Illawarra Dragons.
This comes as former Prime Minister, and recent Bunnies die-hard Uncle Tony Abbott tweeted his support for Harper Nielsen, the 9-year-old Australian schoolgirl who refused to stand during the singing of the national anthem at assembly out of respect for the Indigenous population.
In a frenzy of since deleted tweets, The Member For Warringah and newly appointed Special Envoy to Indigenious Affairs said the young Brisbane girl should be proud of her actions, and that he will be doing the same before today’s match.
”Too black, too strong! ✊🏾” tweeted Uncle Tony.
”That anthem means nothing to me or my people. I’ll be kneeling like a motherfucka”
However Prime Minister Morrison has made it clear that Uncle Tony will face severe repercussions if he refuses to stand during the National Anthem between the two iconic rugby league clubs with historical ties to the Indigenous community.
”When I gave him this job, I didn’t think he’d actually do anything with it” said the new Prime Minister.
”I worry that he had taken his role as an ambassador for the rights of black people too far. There is even whispers that he has joined the Nation Of Islam”
”The Member For Warringah ought to think carefully before he stages any protests at today’s football match. If he doesn’t stand, I’ll pull that son of a bitch off the field”
Morrison’s comments follow the news that Uncle Tony has been controversially re-endorsed as the Liberal party candidate for the Sydney northern beaches seat of Warringah after a branch meeting on Friday night.
Abbott stood unopposed, and was chosen, despite angry grumblings from at least 30% of grassroots Liberal members, who appear to have taken a disliking to his “black armband view of Australian history”.
Uncle Tony has since accused his colleagues of ’whitesplaining’ issues they don’t understand.
