By Jack Maxwell, published 24/3/2014

It’s difficult to believe, but 60 per cent of Australians want the government to increase the severity of the treatment of asylum seekers.

It doesn't surprise me that the {now extinct) Labor government of Tasmania piously proclaimed that Tasmania would take in all the refugees that the mainland did not want.

My recent visit to Tasmania amazed me in that there was barekly an ethnic to be seen anywhere. I felt I was in a time warp where I was back in Australia during the pre Whitlam era when the White Australia Policy still protected our people and our culture. It just goes to show that the old refrain that "those who ae most enamoured of multiculturalism, are the ones who live the furtherest away from it's consequences."

Tasmania is a sleepy little place. What it needs is a population of Arabs inhabiting a particular suburb and filling the night with the sounds of gunshots, like we have here in Sydney. This would stimulate the economy through job creation in the prisons, courts and police industries. I have always wondered whether the fact that so many lawyers are enamoured of multiculturalism is because they see boat people as their new clientele.

101 days and no boats arriving on Australia.

That's what the majority voted for.

Why would anyone voluntarily relocate to Tasmania? The greens and labor are taking it back to the stone age.
