The flow of young, second-generation Muslim men and women reared in secular multicultural societies to Islamic State would not be possible in the first place if the 'diversity' tail was not wagging the immigration policy dog.
As a sop to winning short term UN approval and with hope to win seats in western Sydney and a few other marginal electorates, Labor and Greens bend over backwards (forwards too!), to placate the noisy extremists - easily recognisable political lobbyists who are often given a podium by the taxpayer-funded ABC.
Why do federal governments give preference to immigrants from cultures with traditions, values and political systems that are diametrically opposed to our own? The feds have to knock back more suitable migrants to import from high risk cultures.
That is playing fast and loose with Australian culture and public safety and knowingly introducing risks that will NOT go away in a lifetime.
All of the bunk from apologists who say that it doesn't matter what toxic values, traditions and behaviours migrants are capable of introducing because the second generation will be 'Aussie', flagrantly disregard the scientific evidence that differences, especially ones that matter, may not only be maintained by migrants, but it is usual and expected for some to magnify the cultural differences. That is apparent even where the homeland of origin has made illegal and largely got rid of nasty cultural practices such as kidnap brides and honor killing.
Australian politicians travel abroad far too much and in trying to impress make decisions that are plumb crazy back home. -Why would Australia, a country that has always put the needs of migrants first and taken so many since WW2, be committed by politicians like that smirking Turnbull to rush in and rescue in Europe?
As if any of the countries involved or the economic migrants give a rat's behind about Australia, that is except to take advantage of its integrating politicians who strut the world stage.
