Dear Rhian,

When you have three cultures: A, B and C, where A is more refined than B and B is more refined than C, I see no valid reason why followers of culture A should compromise and lower themselves to the level of B, how less so identify with B, just because people in general are afraid of C, not even if that fear is justified, not even if followers of B fail to differentiate between A and C.

Then of course, there are those who were born in culture A but either drifted away or did not receive adequate cultural education to begin with. It is sad to see them settling for B.

India, China, and Africa have 1.4 billion people apiece, making up 4.5Billion of the 8Billion of the worlds population (due to be 9Billion by 2032). They are not minorities in a world sense, they are invaders. Hopefully they develop more sustainable population policies. But western nations allowing them in, is complicit in the crime of irresponsibility.

Shaping, sharing and preserving an Australian identity, respect for national symbols, including our flag, fostering a shared sense of belonging, and upholding our history and collective values.

My goodness, Aarushi, it sounds like you were one of the rally speakers! That's precisely what the Aus flag waving rally speakers were saying. It's these ideas that we all turned up for to support.

So, why did you spend the majority of the first part of your essay dissing them?

No one there at the rally was against migration. They had a theme against 'mass-immigration'. Perhaps a point too subtle for a third-year Monash law student to comprehend.

I was there, with my Aussie flag. And I am a migrant, though I've lived here most of my life. I went there with another friend, also a migrant, who has lived less than half of her life in Australia. It might be difficult for you (only being a law student) to understand, but there were many migrants there at the rally. Migrants love Australia. That's why we came here. For Australian values.

We love the Australian flag. For me and my friend who were there, we also love the flags and some of the values of the country from which we came, but we were very happy not to see them being flown on that day. This is the day for celebrating our new identity, our chosen identity, celebrating Australian values and symbols - celebrating our unity.

(I think this only shows how Monash law students must be too brainwashed by MSM to be able to think for themselves.)
