Well from your perpetually entrenched position in I'm alright jack, ancient history territory Hasbeen, any future vision would smell like the grass you used to smoke/disable your brain with?

Little wonder you rarely add any intelligent debate, just abusive denigration that invariably attempts to attack the messenger!?

A pretty astonishing article. It beggars belief that someone would want to take a leaf out of Angela Merkels book and do the same kind of damage to our country that she has done to hers.
But more importantly, why would we wish to develop a society that does not have shared values, traditions, beliefs or history? Why is it somehow better than a country with a cohesive society where the vast majority are able to agree on our social norms and way of life?
There seems to be some kind of self loathing or at least dislike of his own culture, history and values that he wishes to dilute it in such a manner.

Bowden: Australia could take many more refugee families.

I suppose Australia could, as long as they are definitely not of the Islamic Religion.

The animals and birds whose habitat we are rapidly destroying and sending extinct really count for naught, don`t they?

The lack of viable fertile soils and limited fresh water resources also really don`t enter into the sustainability equation at all do they?

Yes let the population growth Ponzi scheme roll on.

It is all very well to rabbit on about "the rights of the child" and "human rights" but what about the rights of nature?

It as, after all, nature what keeps us alive.

Surely nature must have more rights than anything else.
