Thank you Clifton for a perceptive insight on this deeply troubling issue. I can only imagine the responses your article is likely to elicit in OLI once the usual "defend our borders" mob get going.

What can we really expect from a nation that drifts in a moral and ethical void, unsure of our national values. Fear seems a reasonable response in the absence of a mature and confident cultural identity and clearly articulated norms that underpin respect and honesty and decency.

This national malaise would not be possible without a media that is intent on reasserting its power as the kingmaker, having been displaced for a (short) while by the new government's mandate. Now the media have turned national policy discourse into a circus of personalities and constructed crises, killing hope for real change and returning to the cynicism and disgust of a previous era.

Lowest Common denominator politics

Xenophobia - the accusation trotted out by every bleeding heart head in the sand do-gooder (?) every time they disagree with any plan to limit the access of ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS to Australia.

No NOT REFUGEES! These people have gone through several other nations before reaching us. They have paid their fares to the smugglers and who knows who else and arrived here through illicit means. Their mode of entry creates a number of risks - security, health, quarantine and without papers to prove identity cost millions of taxpayer dollars to "process" while we feed and shelter them. Money that could be so much better used for the good of Australians and legitimate immigrants - including those deemed refugees through proper channels.

If that makes me a Xenophobe then I'm in good company with most of the rest of voting Australia. Bring on the next election!!

no mention from Dr Clifton of the number of illegals who have drowned since Mr Rudd sent out his invitations to come here. As usual the left claim they have the compassionate answers and what works is wrong. Sickening really.

Yes those evil, White Supremacists from the SS have been regularly gathering on beaches, to mark where you mere mortals are allowed to swim, with burning crosses, while they danced around in white sheets, bashing, burning & burying Black fellas, Asians, raping women, etc.

Is there no end to their depravity? When will the Guvmint protect us from the lifesavers?

Many people on the right of politics revere Menzies as our best PM, but he had one fatal flaw, made one dreadful mistake, that we are paying the price for now.

He took a Liberal view of his political opponents. As long as he was winning elections, he did not care that the ALP was being infiltrated by Communist, Anarchist, Socialist, Radicals who follow, "the Frankfurt school".

These "Fifth Columnist's" have been active in all strategic areas of our nation, since the 1960's, politics, academia, education, bureaucrookracy, journalism. White anting our nation from within.

What we need after 2010, NEVER AGAIN is for ASIO to hunt these treasonous thugs down. No Australian child will be safe until these Communists & Fauxmanistas are in "Baxter" "Rehabilitation Resource" for the good of our nation's security.

Formersnag, please let us all share with you your version of "australian values".

FORMERSNAG!

yayyyyyy HURAYYYY jumps up and down with joy bravo.. EWE BEAUDY.. onya cobber..

why ? :)

BECAUSE you mentioned THE FRANKFURT SCHOOL!

For all those who wish to understand our present depressing situation, with the small pox of
-Political Correctness,
-Multiculturalism,
-Feminism,
-Sexual revolution,
-Gay rights
-Environmentalism
-Non violent resolution of disputes.
-Harm Minimization stupidity.
-Lax Immigration policy

Look no further than THE FRANKFURT school of critical theorists (Marxists)

When Aussies see what has been DONE to you by these deceptive bottom feeding scum.... you will share my own rage and outrage.
(I suspect formersnag is with me already)

DONKEY.. a most appropriate name.

you said:

//What can we really expect from a nation that drifts in a moral and ethical void, unsure of our national values//

I'm picking up the bits of grey matter from where they exploded to after reading that utter drivel.

Donkey.. r u a maxist ?

Let me see, the Immigration Dept needs another 500 million, as the
first 500 million didn't go far, with the present debacle.

Meantime 6000 genuine refugees in refugee camps, who are not
cashed up, many women and children, will miss out, as young males
with money clamour for their ticket to the honeypot called Australia.

Frankly things can't get much worse then they are right now,
everyone is losing and justice has been thrown out the window.
So has the efficient spending of tax dollars.

If Australia has to get tough to be fair, which is not the case
right now, then so be it.

Clifton Evers,
It's not "Australian manhood" that is the problem.

Formersnag, please let us all share with you your version of "australian values".
gazzaboy,
If the need is there to ask this question then no amount of explaining can achieve an answer.

individual, please, no one liners, i take the time & trouble to read the entire article & every comment in full before replying, often to every commenter "individually", you could extend the same courtesy, its only polite.

Proxy, exactly. Saving the world is all very nice & well, "in theory" but in practice. Going to all of the worlds worst war zones & rescuing an equal number of combatants from all sides is only transferring their racial tensions to our formerly peaceful country.

Do these do gooding idiots ever wonder why we are getting brawls & riots at soccer matches?

There are gangs of unemployed northern African Muslim youths terrorising our streets now.

There are Aussies sleeping rough, waiting on hospital lists for surgery while "refugees" are being accommodated in 3 star motels or empty hospital buildings.

The multiculturalists continually talk about all the "Greeks" in Melbourne and how they have made a great contribution to our society & they would be right, but try asking some of those Greeks how they feel about a tsunami of radical Muslims arriving daily from Turkey, etc?

If these war zones are as bad as the loony, lefties, say then there should be plenty of orphans available for adoption by couples who are also infertile because the fauxmanistas encouraged them to leave "breeding" until it was too late.

There should also be plenty of young attractive single women available for single Aussie men who no longer find Fauxmanista women attractive anymore.

ALGOREisRICH, loved the video, will be publishing it far & wide mate. Have you tried some of mine? What did you think of my idea for an Aussie "Tea Party"? But Sir Vivor is correct with poor AL heading for the divorce courts we may have to find a new nick name for you.

Incredibly perceptive article. Its a shame that we are putting the wrong people into camps and deporting the wrong people. Australian citizenship should be earned and not taken for granted because of an accident of birth. Our country would be so much better without the unemployed and under-employed racist parasites who continue to feed off the hard work of educated working Australians.

Formersnag.
It wasn't aimed at you, you have a sober view. I thought it was gazzaboy who appears to have a need for asking questions about the obvious.

FORMERSNAG...yes :) I might rename myself ALGOREisDIVORCED

or..ALGOREisSAD(butstillrich)

But I've not seen your vids.. only some PDF's which are very good.

The Greening one is spot on.

"Dr. Gary North calls it "the most stupendous, unified, worldwide propaganda campaign I've seen in my lifetime."

I've not even heard of those works, but I draw the same conclusions from the inescapable evidence independantly.

CJ is part of it.. but the crazy thing is.. he is either doing a good job of hiding his drool at what's happening, or.. he simply doesn't get it and is (strangely in a kind of twilight zone way) *sincere*....

So glad you enjoyed the HISTORY OF PC vid.. I hope CJ watches it and if he wishes..to give a critique.. it would be most informative.

Just a note on the Rothschilds.. the reason I steer clear of that is because it is generally about the 2nd word uttered in any *conspiracy theory*... I would prefer people draw their conclusions from the facts as presented.

I'll give you one little morsel I've uncovered though :)

CARBON TRADING..SOROS....MAURICE STRONG (director of CCX).... FRANKO BERNABE (PetroChina)...ROTHSCHILDS.

Bernabe is the same 'ethnicity' as Rothschilds and Soros, and Bernabe is a director of Petroleum China (Which is connected with the Tianjin Climate Exchange which is a joint venture of CCX and Petro China).. he is also the vice president of Rothschilds Europe.

It's an ideological/economic Mafia mate.

There :) you may pat my back when/if we meet haha.

Thanks to Clifton Evers. Undoubtedly Abbott will stoop to the lowest common denominator in his efforts to secure the bottom feeder vote. I'm no fan of Rudd, but at least he explicitly rejected those tactics the other night. He's not above dog-whistling either, but he's slightly more subtle.

Formersnag: << If these war zones are as bad as the loony, lefties, say then there should be plenty of orphans available for adoption by couples who are also infertile because the fauxmanistas encouraged them to leave "breeding" until it was too late. >>

Another moderate and "sober" perspective from the mainstream, no doubt.

individual - how about you share with us your ideas about "Australian values" that you've picked up since you migrated here? Much of what you post here seems to indicate that you have very different values in some areas from most of the Australians I know.

Well, it's a real effort by Clifton Evers to cite at last one example of a decent refugee. How much research has he done regarding those refugees who aren't genuine. That would be way more relevant & enlightening. If it weren't for the word xenophobia people like Evers wouldn't be able to argue.
We all know that there are good people amongst the refugees. No-one's worrying about them, none of them are causing any problems. It's the non-genuine, agenda based division seeking lot what this is all about.
Come up with some examples on that front

Cj Morgan,
The values I observed & adopted are to care about your country without the need for trumpets. A real Australian is in essence not much different from a real American or Englishman or Chinese or Arab. It's the hangers on who lack the emotion to care & feel any sense of responsibility. These traits are not peculiar to any nationality but is is peculiar to those in every society who avoid the experience of reward for effort. From my personal experience this applies largely to those in the Public Service & those with season tickets on the social welfare bandwagon. The social engineers who are 99% academic are also epidemic in this mentality. Those at the top of the judiciary pyramid don't appear to see eye to eye with the values of fairness & decency either. In the 4 decades here I have come to realise that Australians only think they're different. Australian values are expressing concern for the future of Australians. These values are not to accommodate the whims of religious zealot back door migrants who are hellbent on causing division among the people who take them in.

True Xenophobia...

is when 'Multiculturalism' comes unstuck.....as it always does and will...

Tony Abbot is wiser than people give him credit for.

So you're saying that there are no specifically Australian values that you've been able to identify in 40 years? I thought so.

I don't suppose you've heard about stuff like mateship, egalitarianism and a fair go?

CJ Morgan,
Of course I've heard of those. There's always some reference to that in australian movies & literature
