Australian PM’s Nephew Dons Ku Klux Klan Costume To Protest Racism
Thanh Rudd and a friend of his demonstrated briefly on the Australia Day outside the Australian Open tennis tournament at Melbourne Park. Thanh Rudd and his friend said they were protesting against attacks on Indian nationals in Australia and the Federal Government's support for "genocidal regimes".
They accused the Federal Government of hypocrisy for rejecting refugees fleeing those regimes.
"The Australian Government is supporting governments like the Sri Lankan government, for example, in preventing Sri Lankan Tamils from escaping the Sri Lankan government," Rudd said.
"Australia funds the genocidal Sri Lankan regime and then rejects the refugees who flee. In this country you could not get away with doing that against whites. So they're the basic reasons we're having the protest today."
Van Thanh Rudd said he chose Melbourne Park as a place that would get significant attention on Australia Day.
"I'm pretty certain [the public] won't like it too much - the aim is to create a bit of a scene, not by creating any violence or anything of course, but just parade about a bit.
"And we did not ask for permission to do it, so I guess we fully knew that it may only last 10 minutes."
Van Thanh Rudd, the son of the Prime Minister's brother Malcolm and his wife Tuoi is an artist and is known for bold public statements in his artwork, including a painting which was banned by Melbourne City Council depicting Ronald McDonald running with the Olympic torch past a burning monk.
