Hear! Hear!

Define a terrorist.

We will end up with an increase in terror due to this.

A big increase.

Here is another left-wing politician defending the multiculturalism forced on us by the Fraser Coalition, turned into a religion by the ALP, and now tolerated by the current so-called conservative government because they don’t have the guts to knock it in the head.

The “strong” foundations of multicultural madness are, as he says, being undermined because people, at last, have woken up to the stupidity and frailty of the whole shebang of multiculturalism and the totally unrealistic, unnatural idea that people from greatly different backgrounds can blend together.

People worldwide have always chosen to live with people of their own kind. There is nothing peculiar about white, European type Australians wishing to do the same. The only amazing thing about Cronulla is that it has taken so long to happen. It was inevitable – postponed only because of the natural tolerance and easygoing nature of Australians - but here at last because of the stupid, arrogant assumptions made by politicians that they could force people to accept something entirely unnatural.

Kerr, of course, blames the Howard government and, also of course, ignores the fact that the population can make up its own mind – and has – about what they want and think. How arrogant and ignorant, even for a politician!

If Howard’s policy on which immigrants should be allowed into Australia was directed at Muslims as Kerr claims, it is not reflected in his (Howard’s) wishy washy attitudes to those Muslims – particularly the trouble makers – who are here now and who are still coming here.

If Kerr and the general limp left community think of Howard as a hard man, heaven help us if we ever get a weak PM. Howard is an opportunist politician and, when it comes to the crunch, he is all mouth and trousers.

Kerr, bereft of all reasonable argument, drops in racism as the reason for Cronulla. Of course racism was involved, but Kerr and those of his kind mean only white, Australian racism, not the racism inherent in all races, particularly that which has certainly been displayed by Lebanese

You can't be serious Duncan! I cannot believe that the regular suspects have jumped on John Howard again over these riots of all things!

Aside from the reality that there have been massive problems brewing in Sydney long predating 'September 11', it is the ALP's policy of multiculturalism that has got the country into this mess. I say 'ALP's policy' because it isn't multiculturalism that is the problem but rather the fact that the 'Left' has perpetuated the notion that being Australian doesn't entail a responsibility to uphold the basics.

I'm not talking about playing Rugby or singing Waltz Sing Matilda either. It seems to me that to the majority of Australians the beach is their mosque- a place to go with your family, ponder how lucky one is and appreciate 'the higher being' that created Bondi, Surfers Paradise etc. Going to the beach is a basic liberty, as is a woman's right to wear a bikini without sinister repurcussions and a mans right to believe in whatever he likes.

There can be no argument that certain elements of the lebanese community DO NOT support these basic rights and have made it mighty difficult for others in the community to access these rights. If a gang is a bikie gang we call it that. If it is a surfer gang we call it that. Why can't we call Lebanese gangs just that?

It is because people like you Duncan Kerr have naively hijacked the issue into one of race rather than one of crime. Nobody ever agreed that multiculturalism was a license to hide under an obscure banner of 'cultural relativism' and justify the denegration of women and of Australia's traditions. Where were the unequivocal condemnations from the mullahs when those girls in Sydney were gang raped? Whatabout the lads who mocked the ANZACS on 60 minutes-did they get a dressing down from their community? Multiculturalism should be a celebration of our differences not a free for all on the nations basic fabric.

Typical garbage from the worst type of racist there is.

All this trouble started when the Hawke/Keating government thought they were losing support in some Sydney electorates. Their solution? Import thousands of easily manipulated immigrants to stack the electorates. The problem's been made worse ever since by spineless grovelling cowards like Kerr who have convinced Muslims that they're "victims" of our racist culture. They're victims of their own racist culture. They're victims of people like Kerr who have given them victim status, encouraged their fear, herded them into ghettos and encouraged resistance to inclusion in the dominant culture. Muslim people have sowed hatred and racism wherever they have settled in the world. Britain, France, American, Australia, they have all been victims of the insidious racism of the likes of Kerr.

Government can solve this problem tomorrow by instructing their police forces to actually enforce the law and to give them the powers and resources to do so. When yobbos and grubs can call police any names they like, use any language they like, and behave in any antisocial manner they like the community is in trouble no matter what the ethnic mix. Add to this weak bail laws, pathetic sentences, and timid magistrates and it's no wonder we've got some problems.

It just shows you how pathetic we've become when bikie gangs, surfie yobs, and ethnic crime gangs are involved in brokering peace agreements. They're given a degree of legitimacy by the media and we're all supposed to be relieved that they're talking to each other! If they're running around killing each other in an underworldy, gangsterish kind of way, hurting no one but their own then they can broker any peace deal they want. But when they're elevated to a central power role in a genuine community and policing problem it just beggars belief!

Hopefully it'll be a long time before Kerr and his bunch of gutless political opportunists ever get a chance to do this country more harm.

Part I

Leaders, real elected ones, have forgotten to lead. They lecture us on economics yet rarely show us how to live and go about our lives, they fail to promote the combined strength and trust and other principles that we need in society. Their mistake is to forget that society is not just there it is also being created every minute.

Perhaps we shouldn't be surprised or offended when some Australians riot and are verbally offensive. Only recently, Sydney Magistrate Pat O'Shane declared from her bench that community standards have disappeared and it's normal to swear and abuse people in public. That sentiment might make her happy but it shows again how out of step with reasonable principles, members of the legal-political professions can become.

Elected or appointed but powerful professions need to remind us why they are there. Not merely I think, to "reflect" society but also to "lead" society.

Leaders make laws that govern behaviour but they also make laws to "create" behaviour. An example is EEO legislation enacted at a time when wider society was unimpressed with moves by women to gain employment in non-traditional fields. Society adjusted to it, the sky didn't fall in and no one looks back today. In fact most wonder why on earth they weren't given the opportunity in the first place.

Putting the 'racism' cart in front of the "culture and integration" horse is rubbish and we all know it and this futile debate on whether Australia is a "racist society" should end. Some few citizens plainly are but only recently the sympathy for an executed heroin trafficker provided the counterfactual. The state governor herself is from a Lebanese background.
