Carr recalled Thatcher warning him against immigrants taking over Sydney, saying that Australia could end up like Fiji “where the Indian migrants have taken over”.
“She warned Australia, talking to me with Helena [his wife, who is of Malaysian origin] standing not far away against Asian immigration, saying that if we allowed too much of it we’d see the natives of the land, the European settlers, overtaken by migrants,” Carr told ABC television.
Former premier of New South Wales said he found her remarks “unabashedly racist”, adding that he was “so astonished” he couldn’t think of an appropriate reply.
Carr said Thatcher’s “evil nature of the communist totalitarianism” was the reason his party removed her in the early 90’s.
Former British Prime Minister died on Monday at the age of 87 after suffering from a series of strokes.
In a show of the depth of public hatred against the former Conservative leader, hundreds of protesters gathered in Brixton, London and Glasgow to hold “Thatcher death parties” while similar parties were also planned in Liverpool, Newcastle and Manchester.
