Keep up, David, today is a completely different ballgame. Albanese and Chalmers are inflicting massive immigration, especially from Modi India and Xi China, two-year numbers 60% higher than Rudd ever dared.

Under today's woke culture, black good white bad, anyone who objects to this is automatically a racist. If it means extraordinary levels of rental distress and homelessness, that's just tough luck. Labor will continue to brag of its "43% emissions reduction", budget surplus and cost-of-living "relief", and world's best "multicultural society".

Dual citizenship is wrong.

Dual citizenship and multiculturalism do not encourage loyalty.

“Most importantly, they became contemptuous of Australian culture and values ….”.

Yes, and they were aided and abetted in that by our rotten politicians and Leftist activists. They still are: in fact it has become worse.

Multiculturalism is being used by Australian governments on both sides to divide and rule.

Did I say 'both sides of government'. Sorry, that’s wrong..

I've believed for some time that we have a virtual one-party system with Labor and the Coalition being so close,

Dr. Jim Twelves, Melbourne University, puts it like this:

"Here in Australia, we no longer have the two sides of politics that the people choose between. Instead, we have a uni-party that receives its instructions from global elites and international corporate giants."

Given it is Muslims who musky refuse t assimilate. Let's give others first crack of the whip.

On paper and for convenience I am considered a dual national.

In reality I am nobody's national.

I have my own good values and do not require any of yours, thank you very much, especially not the archaic barbaric ones, including that foolish idea as if any of God's blessed lands and continents belongs only to a select group of people.

I am happy and fortunate to be here where I can meet and make friends with so many nice and good people from all over the world.

I would expect a better attitude from an author who considers himself "libertarian" and who did not even research his facts (I legally become a dual citizen here well before 2000). I would expect a better attitude even from a tribe of monkeys.

Well said Yuyutsu. Democracy for me is about letting me be myself and not telling me who I should be.

Is this piece some sort of joke?

We get told: "freedom of speech faces yet more limits...." yet the same author wants people to assimilate. Isn't that a limit on freedom of choice and freedom in terms of way of life?

I mean at the end of the day how someone chooses to live their life is up to them or it at least should be. For example do I as a vegetarian get told to "assimilate" with the meat eating majority in Australia because David says I should?

I also find this assimilation message strange coming from a libertarian, telling other people how to live their own lives, but then stands a high moral ground about freedom of speech facing limits.

Well if you expect people to assimilate, then naturally you cut off someone's ability to be themselves and express themselves how they see fit, limiting free speech.

I also agree with Yuyutsu on basic facts here. David you are wrong on so many levels and details regarding dual citizenship. If you did some basic research online you would know your dates are way out here and other details totally inaccurate.

"Between 1984 and 2002, a foreign-born person could take up Australian citizenship and keep their first nationality — if their country of origin allowed it — making them dual citizens." (One source alone online).

Assimilation is an evil practice that should be imposed on no-one and I hope it is never imposed on the author of this opinion piece.

NathanJ,
Say those who in comparison of contribution benefit the most ! That's why more Tax Dollars get poured into enclaves with next to zero contribution. It really is a case most reward goes to those who do the least again, by comparison or at least apparent comparison.

Not sure what data the author is drawing on, but one observes the phenomenon not widely, just British or more English immigrants who look down upon Australians and do not assimilate; yet attract more fawning behaviour and obsequiousness from Australians....
