The 9pm Shire

Published: May 16, 2014, 11 a.m.

b'Australia\\u2019s treasurer Joe Hockey exudes love and understanding. We take the train to Cronulla to find out exactly what makes this southern Sydney suburb so great. And there are shellfish, damn fine shellfish.

Back from hiatus thanks to your support, this episode of The 9pm Edict heads south to the Sutherland Shire to follow up the words of our Minister for Immigration and Border Protection, Scott Morrison, as quoted in The St George & Sutherland Shire Leader in March:

\\u201cI get so much encouragement when I walk through Cronulla mall, go down the beach, or up to Miranda Fair\\u2026 On Australia Day we were at the fireworks at Cronulla and I was walking through the crowd and people were coming up to me to say \\u2018g\\u2019day\\u2019 and encourage me and congratulate me on what we had done so far, and basically saying \\u2018keep giving it to \\u2019em and don\\u2019t back down\\u2019.\\u201d

He said residents weren\\u2019t against immigration or asylum-seekers but wanted a process that was done \\u201cthe right way\\u201d.

But there\\u2019s much more, including observations about the films The Princess Bride and Solaris. For some reason.
