KH, actually i know a few aboriginal & Torres Strait islanders who are NOT happy about invasion #2 either.

it is just as uaual that the lame stream media & major mistakes political parties are not publicising any of their concerns.

DIMA projections are that onshore processing will result in 600 refugees coming here every month that is 7,200 per year. Our migration programme brings an extra 1500 people to our shores a month. (Treasury budget estimates show that they have factored in 180,000 migrants pa.) If we were smart we would bring migration to zero and allow on shore processing - make it clear that anyone without papers will be deported so that we can do the checks quickly and efficiently. Assuming that 80% of asylum seekers are approved that would mean that population growth due to migration would be slashed from 180,000 to about 14000, 5000 of whom would have arrived by boat.

Ammonite,
He's right, sort of, but anthropologists don't study White people (or if they do they don't release their findings) and there's no White race based "industry" other than anti Racism, which as we know is just a code word for Anti White.
Individual.
A colourblind society would be nice but it won't happen until Whites are accepted as a race, which is problematic since we're not really the same as the other 90% of humanity.
Anti Racists have to invent their Strawmen, the "Racist" and the "White Supremacist" to prove that we're not a Race and therefore cannot be allowed to exist.
Yet we Whites all know we're not "Pure" like the other races, it's a constant theme in our history, "We're not worthy", some of us even question our right to exist and side with the Anti Racists who work toward White Genocide.
It's a big can of worms, I'm not surprised that the study of White people is discouraged and suppressed. It's bad enough as it is with people trying to wipe us out because we're "subhumans" and "mongrels", imagine if they had proof that we're something other than fully human?

Formersnag, you are definitely correct in what you say about the Indigenous opinions you mention.
I don't think anybody would be particularly comfortable about the potential for what kind of people are knocking at our door at the moment.

Individual- is that a good enough answer?

King Hazza,
Are you indigenous ? I think Jay of Melbourne commented realistically. I'm still waiting for an indigenous group spokesperson to lay out the indigenous' view on further immigration, especially on the boat people influx. Considering that many people already living here don't get half the assistance the boat people get. Pensioners are the forgotten lot in Australia unless of course they have accumulated enough to be worthy of consideration of being fleeced.

Individual- sadly that's a pointless exercise- you've had Formersnag cite some Aboriginal people clearly against boat arrivals, which I have no reason to doubt. And as far as web anonymity goes, for someone else to come here, claim to be Aboriginal, and then claim to the be the voice of all Aborigines, would have to be judged by the rest of us.

The fact is, you could just as easily get Marylin Shepherd, Frank Brennan or some other loopy pro-refugee advocate declare themselves the "voice of white people"- but you'd know they wouldn't represent very many white people at all because you'd know that plenty of white people have other opinions in direct contrast to theirs;

Why would it be different for Aboriginal people? They may be facing the issue under different circumstances, but the fact is they'd have different opinions on it just like any other person. Uniformity doesn't exist in any race (particularly as there are approximately 400 Aboriginal races in Australia).
