Loudmouth, you are also half right. Aboriginal people have not always been given a "fair go" but 2 wrongs don't make a right. Earlier conservative christians were patronising in some ways but well intentioned, whereas the closet communazis were deliberately "white anting" our culture/society with multiculturalism, feMANazism, etc. All according to the evil seditious, treasonous PC, Thought Police plan.

http://www.academia.org/the-origins-of-political-correctness/

i repeat aboriginals like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Perkins would never have been able to achieve what he did without basic literacy skills which the overwhelming majority of aboriginal children since the 1970's have been denied, by the loony left social engineers working to a deliberate, premeditated, "plan for failure".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1967_referendum predates 1975, but multiculturalism came afterwards with comrades Hawke & Keating in 1983 or was that "1984". Bear in mind that Vietnam was a French colony, many who came to Australia were catholic & all were capitalists escaping another communazi nightmare. In other words their "culture" was similar to all the Italians & Greeks who came before them, as soon as they could learn English, they assimilated.

Food recipes different, culture the same.

Multiculturalism has never been positive in way shape or form. It was designed by closet communazis at the height of the cold war to fracture western capitalist democratic society into racial "ghettos" of NON Australians who would never assimilate or in many cases even learn English.

Aussies of British & European decent have no problem with people of other "races" coming here IF they learn English & assimilate. Maintaining a seperate culture with "diplomatic immunity" is something altogether different. White Australians have never had a "fair go" since the 1980's, because of "positive discrimination programs" keeping us out of work & education opportunities, most especially if you are also male, as well as white.

Aboriginals however despite all the billions wasted on them continue to also be excluded from this multicultural mess because all of the programs "helping" them were designed by closet communazis to fail.

Squeers, you need to get out more, speak to main stream, middle class Australians instead of university intelligentsia.

all they want is a "fair go", instead of "positive discrimination" against them. 60% to 80% of them want the "white australia" policy back, why do you think the polls are running against the loony left. i don't BTW.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilal_Skaf have you forgotten about this guy? 2nd & even 3rd generation Lebanese are still a problem, when they are Muslim instead of christian.

How many of our females need to be gang banged before you admit multiculturalism is a failure?

So what if some of them are good people if many of them are not. My little brother married a girl of Indian Hindu decent, i have also had "black" girl friends. Race is not the problem, culture is.

The "problem" was created by closet communazis, not me, we the 99% will be cleaning up the "problem", namely the loony left.

Diver Dan, excellent comment.

Squeers, stop "moving forwards", look backwards with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight at the mess you have created & start UNdoing it instead trying to make it worse.

Saltpetre,

1, rubbish http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilal_Skaf MC is a huge & growing problem.
2, in a democracy do paedophiles & criminals deserve to be heard?
3, before 1975 our immigration policies worked, ever since then they have been failing, how is it preempting anything to accept this well documented scientifically proven fact?
4, why not consider a sealed borders policy? 60% to 80% of the population want that.
5, 80% to 90% are NOT contributing, even 2nd generation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilal_Skaf he is one of many.
6, refugee migration was designed by closet communazis to create more poverty in BOTH the 3rd & 1st world.
7, MC has never worked anywhere, it always was a "plan for failure" http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5871651411393887069# help people in country.
8, we were wealthier before 1972.

Formersnag,

It's mentalities like yours, I'm sure, that prompted Mahatma Gandhi to comment: "What do I think of Western civilisation? I think it would be a very good idea."

Geoffrey Blainey was right when he wrote that multiculturalism is basically a new form of colonialism, in which we are the colony of every nation on earth. Under multiculturalism, Australia is not seen as a real nation with a distinct identity or cultural of its own. Rather, multiculturalism preaches that Australia is just a global boarding house for all the world's peoples.

Perhaps the most egregious aspect of multiculturalism is the way in which it accords different rights and privileges to different groups living in Australia today.

Immigrant communities, for instance, are encouraged to promote their own ethnic identities and their own group interests. Ethnic minority organisations – cultural centres, business networks and political lobbies – are accepted and treated with respect by politicians. The justifying story told to the majority is that we all benefit from "cultural diversity". Yet, at the same time, majority ethnocentricism is held to be dangerous and regularly criticised in the media, education system and by the multicultural lobby. Any attempt by members of the Anglo-Celtic Australian majority to advance their own group interests is immediately condemned. Australians of Anglo-Celtic descent are expected to forgo group loyalties and are even punished for showing them in politics and business. How can something be so precious and notable for one section of society but worthless and disreputable for another?

This flagrant double standard is most noticable in immigration matters. Apparently, it is acceptable, even noble, for immigrant communities to lobby for the importation of more of their own kind. Yet, it is "racist" for the Anglo-Celtic majority to prefer British or European immigrants over those from other backgrounds. Immigrant communities openly brag about their growing demographic strength, while Australians of Anglo-Celtic descent are called racists merely for mentioning the fact that current immigration policies are reducing their percentage of the population.

Mac: "We could, of course, adopt the Islamic version of 'multiculturalism'."

I can only imagine what would happen if a large population of Western Christians moved en masse into a Muslim country and then demanded that the host society change to suit the newcomers and redefine itself as a multicultural country (an oxymoron if ever there was one). If the Muslim host population reacted in outrage to the changes this alien cultural group was imposing on their country, the Westerners could respond: "What's your problem? In challenging your past exclusionary practices, we're not threatening your religion, culture and way of life, we're enriching them! You should be grateful for all the amazing diversity we are introducing into your once monocultural country!"

Of course, if Western immigrants flooded into Muslim countries and began changing those societies to better suit themselves, they would be accused of colonialism and more than likely forcibly evicted by the host populations.
