Dear Cody,

You may not like it but eventually you will
have to accept growing numbers of tourists,
entrepreneurs and students from Asia, some of
whom will remain here permanently. This acceptance
will have to go along with a recognition of
Australia's dependence for trade and security on its
relationship with Asian states.

This doesn't mean severing links with Europe or the
English-speaking world. They also have growing
connections with Asia, and with each other, of which Australia
must be a part. The sensible compromise between Keating's
"Australia is part of Asia," and Joh Howard's greater
affinity with the English-speaking world is to accept that
Australia is a part of both.

It is a responsibility of governments to explain these
realities.

Foxy "No one likes or supports an abusive, illogical or weak debater."

Mirror, mirror on the wall...

"To maintain its population and productive workforce requires a level of immigration at least as high as at present."

Why do we need to "maintain" our population size?
With the mechanisation and computerisation of virtually everything, we will need far *fewer* workers in the future.

How about making the *existing* population more "productive" first.
We already have over 700,000 unemployed (many of them your beloved immigrants).

"This will necessarily increase the non-British and non-European proportion of the population"

To 80%? (The current immigration ratio).
What? The White world is suddenly devoid of educated, skilled people?

"Gotcha"

You haven't "got" anyone in your whole life.

Dear Shocker,

Think whatever you like.

The future will take care of itself despite
your protestations. Which actually don't amount
to very much at all. Its so convenient
to have your little gab fest here behind the
veneer of anonymity, and on a forum such as this.
So easy.

The term "Gotcha!" was directed to Cody - and his
use of the word "Adieu" actually meant that I did
have some influence on him after all - for him to
sign off in French - I took that as a big step forward.

As for my not getting anything in my life?
Well, let's see - I have a husband, two children,
three grand-children, friends, colleagues, neighbours,
who I love dearly. I have a fabulous job, excellent salary,
I've just bought a luxury car, I have an architect-designed
house, so sorry - you loose in your assumptions!
(apart from also being absolutely stunning looking, with killer
cheek-bones, slender build, almond-shaped eyes, over 5ft ten,
with the greates mane of hair ever). And a brain that's not bad.
No complaints so far. Life's been good.

What about you - can you beat that?

Bye again.

Notice the 'librarian' did not actually read what you wrote. Such a shame. Notice also the 'librarian' made no attempt to reply to your valid points, and simply assumed My 'Adieu' was directed at me as it 'actually meant that I did
have some influence on him after all - for him to
sign off in French - I took that as a big step forward.' As I said previously, I have lived and worked all over the world.

Foxy, you truly sound like a BPD, grandiose and unrealistic, and think the world revolves around them. You are also evasisve to an extreme - another characterisitc of BPD. Just underneath is probably a deep buring rage and anger.

Now I have some work to do, and by work I do mean work, not 'activity' such as meetings and presentations.
