There’s a lesson here for anyone who writes repulsive racist, bigoted, misogynist, homophobic and defamatory stuff on social media
Even a wealthy and powerful business identity can lose his livelihood, clients and his reputation. No doubt he has brought shame to his family as well. His life has been trashed forever
This is how the Herald-Sun reported his downfall.

you said it... 
I’m been quiet for a little while now but this rant is really appalling. I hope this exposure ruins him. Let this be a lesson to all the bogots- Stick your ‘free speech’, if you were in the public eye you’d be written up in the Hun
What a knobhead..
He was saying that it was all just a laugh right? Who would find any of this funny?
That’s excuse #13 in the racist dipshit’s handbook.
Aw I was only joking when I said that black people smell like shit and are always stealing things.
Hardi ha ha.
I got seriously offended by something (I can’t call it a joke) a guy I went to school with said a couple of years back at a 5 year reunion.
He told me I was too PC and his “other black mate” thought it was funny, so why didn’t I? I explained that knowing my name didn’t mean we were mates, then scooted over to said “other…mate” and asked him how he thought a comment like that could be funny and he told me the laugh was an uncomfortable one, followed up by “that’s a bit much isn’t it?”. Apparently this guy felt it absolutely imperative that he speak to two different Indigenous people about it, because he thought we’d find it funny. Because, you know, we know about this stuff…
That’s why I don’t go to school reunions anymore.
So, a misogynistic, bigoted asshole with a massive chip on his shoulder. Charming.
What makes him think HE should have the right to vote?
And just like all people of his ilk who get caught out spouting trash, he’s claiming he was quoted “out of context”. I’d honestly like to know what context he meant “WOMAN (sic) HAVE NO PLACE IN BUSINESS OR POLITICS! THEY SHOULDNT (sic) EVEN BE ALOUD (sic) TO VOTE!” in.
Well done to the Melbourne Football Club, Melbourne Victory and Melbourne Rebels. They have sent a clear message to all Sporting Institutions and supporters in Australia. No amount of money excuses any type of racism or racial vilification.
So is the Herald Sun now considered as an antibogan organisation by the bogan scums?
Yeah. I thought the Herald Sun a little hypocritical seeing as Nick Polis’ views were pretty much tame compared with the hysterical nonsense that comes out of its Andrew Bolt page.
I don’t even… ugh. What a scumbag.
By the by, isn’t this the same company that came up with the “doorknocker” ads? Indians and such?
I believe they were
What a way to get publicity for your company, be a racist, claim your company well save the community money because of The Carbon Tax and knowing the corporate watchdog is considering laying charges against you?
Look how tiny and ugly he is! You’d have problems with everyone too if you were this ugly and short. Love how he even insults his own customers, where do you think your money came from, you piece of shit? “I’m not racist, my cleaner is Asian so I can’t be”. Fuckwit.
Serious case of Small Man Syndrome going on there.
I’d love to know how ANY of those comments could be taken ‘out of context’. In what context would they be ok?
Somebody who says and thinks these types of things MUST have some kind of mental illness. And I’m not being a smartass, I’m not being rude again mentally disable people. I’m honestly thinking that he just has to have an illness in his head. That HAS to be it. Otherwise, what hope is there?
* I meant against, not again. Agh, I hate when I do that.
He can’t spell and has atrocious grammar.
And in Further news:
“He [Ben Polis] gave evidence that he is currently unemployed, with no income, no assets and less than $250 in the bank.
He said his name has been “incredibly tarnished” by the media reports of his personal Facebook comments.
“I think the chances of me bouncing back in the current situation are about the same as Greece bouncing back”.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer racist, ponzi-scheme operator.
