Multicultural conflict and the challenge to the rule of law : Comments

By Laurence Maher, published 30/11/2018

Fifty years ago nobody could have predicted that Australia, along with comparable nations, would have adopted the elaborate ideological Western belief system that is contemporary multiculturalism.

OK Yuyutsu.

You don't like the western concept of the rule of law, which is based upon the separation of powers, and from the primacy of secular law initiated by a people's parliament.

So,in which nation do you live?

If you live in Australia, and don't like the way we rule ourselves, it's a free country, and nobody will stop you from going to an airport.

Dear Aidan,

«The rule of law is not a cult; it's the best way we have of preventing violence.»

Fighting violence with violence, as in "fighting fire with fire"?

Dear LEGO,

If something is morally repugnant, then I ought to point it out - what's that to do with my personal preferences and lifestyle, likes and dislikes?

«You don't like the western concept of the rule of law, which is based upon the separation of powers»

This separation is not an issue, but using one's powers against innocent others is.

Organising your group of people as a nation, of whatever constitution, does not exempt you from basic morality.

«So,in which nation do you live?»

I live on this planet, I don't believe in nations.

«it's a free country»

For wallabies, seals and dingos, perhaps. At least THEY are not subject to human-made laws.

... or paperwork: What do you say for this? http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-11-28/into-the-wild:-what-to-consider-before-going-off-grid/10472884

«nobody will stop you from going to an airport.»

Oh really? They may allow me to use the airport's shops, receive others and see them off, but without their proper paperwork and complying with their body-searches they won't allow me to use the airport's primary purpose.

On 4 May 1493 Pope Alexander VI , decreed in the bull Inter caetera that all lands west the Azores should belong to Spain . Pope Julius II by means of the bull Ea quae pro bono pacis of 24 January 1506 sanctioned Portuguese rule eastwards . The hemispheres met at a line from the Japanese island of Hokkaido through the eastern end of New Guinea giving Australia to Portugal. Cardinal Pell is open to any calls for compensation , paid through his Vatican bank with cheques endorsed "cash".

Fifty years ago there are a lot of things we wouldn't have predicted! The progressive dismantling of cooperative capitalism and replacing that model and by and large the family farm with privatisation/corporate farming!

No one would have predicted how much of our essential service and power delivery would be privatised along with our bank, airline and our telco etc., all to satisfy the whim and caprice of rank tin-eared idealogues. Who probably don't possess a pragmatic bone between them and are so far divorced from reality and the nation? They have managed to look after their own interests quite magnificently while selling ours down the river.

The in your face irrefutable evidence is, we were once the third wealthiest nation on the planet and a creditor one at that. And one with a robust manufacturing arm that toward the latter years produced cars the equal of the finest imports!

Today these same old ideologues still resist actually addressing climate change with the only card on the table that quite massively grows the economy, without really trying.

That card is the nuclear MSR thorium option and a fist full of economic aces if it is coupled to government funded and facilitated cooperative capitalism. What we never ever did need was foreign coal miners coming here and getting extremely rich while we worked for wages as mere tenants in our own country or pits!

These same vile idealogues are rolling out the red carpet for more entirely unnecessary foreign investment/rapacious foreign miners.

To Alan B

You are suggesting that Australia was more socialist and more prosperous fifty years ago. I am on Planet earth, which planet do you inhabit?

The always on strike, overmanned, union dominated, and featherbedded government owned railways, airlines (TAA), power industries (boy, I could tell you some stories about those parasites), postal, and telecommunications industries were legendary drains on the Australian taxpayer. As socialists kept dreaming up ways to tax the productive to buy the votes of the non productive and the counter productive, it became absolutely necessary for even state and federal Labor governments to divest themselves of these grossly inefficient publically owned companies. If they hadn't, our social security would have collapsed years ago.

Perhaps you are from a parallel universe?

The seductive message of socialism has always been, that the public should get lots of free stuff. It is the rotten right wingers who are stopping the public from getting lots of free stuff. That the public should get angry at the right wingers for not giving them free stuff. And if the public elects us socialists, we wonderful socialists will give you all the free stuff. Yay! Cheer! Go Bernie! Go Jeremy! This message seems to be working a treat with entitled millennials ignorant of history. Are you one of them?

Oh, and the standard excuse for why socialism failed in every country it was implemented in, was because "it has not been tried yet".

Still, if you continue to believe in the Human Induced Global Warming hoax, I suppose you will believe in anything. And on that topic, have you noticed how much of the media has gone from outright advocacy for HIGW, to a much more measured tone? That's because the know all, celebrity media stars are beginning to figure out that they were all conned, so they are starting to move to an impartial position. When it becomes undeniable that it was all a hoax, they can pretend that they knew that all along. And like past Australian socialist experiments, they will hope that Alan B does not remember.
