Paul Murray blasts Laura Tingle over ‘outrageously racist’ comments

Sky News host Paul Murray has blasted Laura Tingle for her “outrageously racist” comments at the Sydney Writers Festival where she accused Peter Dutton of handing Australians a free pass to abuse migrants looking to buy or rent in the country.
Ms Tingle claimed Australia was a “racist country” during a panel discussion at the Sydney Writers Festival at Carriageworks in Eveleigh on Sunday.
“It shows the sign of a person who thinks the suburbs are just full of people who all look the same like her because maybe that’s the last time she went into the suburbs,” Mr Murray said.
