What have you done? Zippo," Kennerley said, to which Stynes responded: "I'm sure that's not even faintly true Kerri-Anne and you are sounding quite racist now", eliciting boos from the audience."

That's a pretty inflammatory comment by Kennerley and good on Stynes for calling her out on it.

It was the truth. Inflammatory, yes, but the truth. But not every where. And Stynes should be called out on that fact. Has Stynes been west of Parramatta?

Another thread that’s lost its focus at best and plumbing the depths at worst. Time to shut it down? Or what.

Get off your soapbox, it was in general.
You pretty much proved my point thanks.

Frankly that response doesn’t make a lot of sense. You posted without checking that what had been alleged in the original comment was even correct, which it wasn’t, and then went on from there.

For the record, none of the protesters, or Yumi Stynes for that matter, said that supporting the current date of Australia Day was racist.

Trout1105 implied that the protesters criticising Kennerley were saying that Kennerley was racist because she didn't support the invasion day marches. But that doesn't appear anywhere in the article Trout linked to. What the protesters were protesting against was Kennerley's statement linking Invasion Day protesters with child rape. So, no-one called Kennerley racist because she didn't support changing the date of Australia Day.
