And yes. It is possible that some of the obnoxious practices from overseas, and from previous times, could creep into Australia because of our out-of-control immigration, and multiculturalism (gradually becoming multicivilisation in badly divided Australia).

Permanent and long term immigration was 494,540 in the 12 months to January 2026: the highest on record. Albanese's ‘reduction’ in immigration was just one more of many lies.

You cannot have multiculturalism and a cohesive society. Homogeneity is best. Same sorts of people ensure against the chance of some people being treated differently from others - something that is already occurring in Australia.

Attaboy Paul. When you can't respond to the substantive points, play the fool instead. Standard operating procedure for Paul.

Its interesting that others are also ignoring the world wide nature of the past slavery problem. The UN and its compromised agencies are also knee deep in the trough. They likewise are ignoring the fact that slavery was perpetrated by African tribes, by Muhammadian Berbers, by Middle-Eastern Muslims, by Turkish Muslims, by Chinese Han, by Maori tribes. They also ignore the fact that 90% of the trans-Atlantic slaves went to South America and less than 5% went to places that became the USA. They just want to talk about slavery in the US.

Why? Well as Willie Sutton once said when asked why he robs banks... "because that's where the money is".

Hi ttbn,

"It (slavery) doesn't, and never has, occurred in Australia" That's right there never were people clasped in irons, and put on ships and transported to Australia to "slave" as free labour to the ruling class. Australians never kidnapped 60,000 South Sea Islanders and made them into forced indentured labour on Queensland sugar plantations. Nor did we force Aboriginal people to work as station hands and domestic servants for nothing more than a ration of food. NOTHING TO SEE HERE, NEVER BEEN ANY SLAVERY IN AUSTRALIA.

Hi Trumpster,

You conveniently forget that in the first half of the 19th century, some of the richest people in the world, the richest as a entire group in fact, were the plantation owners of the Southern United States. ALL BUILT ON THE LABOUR OF BLACK SLAVES! The northern industrialists and traders also did very well out of slavery.

"You conveniently forget that in the first half of the 19th century, some of the richest people in the world, the richest as a entire group in fact, were the plantation owners of the Southern United States. "

That's simply untrue. You need to do a bit more research than watching "Gone with the Wind". They weren't even the richest people in the US.

But I didn't forget it...indeed I actually mentioned it. What I didn't forget and what you're trying very hard to ignore was that the slavery in the US southern states was just one of many many slave societies over the centuries and even at that time of the early 19th century slavery was prevalent in North Africa, Central Africa, Turkey, the Middle-east, China, South America and (as you are trying hard not to notice), among the Maoris. And compared to most of those, the numbers of slaves in the US southern states was small.

Yet this is the only one that the carpet-baggers and the UN (but I repeat myself) want to talk about.

Hi Trumpster,

What you say is, slavery was widespread, I agree, it even mentions the duty of a slave in the Bible, and its was not condemned in either the old or new testaments. BUT that doesn't excuse slavery as a practice today, or in the past. I could say murder is widespread in the world, in some countries honour killings are permitted, you even supported the Zionists murdering 70,000 Palestinians, therefore murder should not be a criminal offence in Australia.

Trumpster take this on board, so much for you to learn;

"Southern plantation owners, particularly the elite planter class, were extremely wealthy, commanding vast fortunes primarily through ENSLAVED LABOUR and LAND OWNERSHIP. By 1860, the richest 1% of Southerners held median wealth over three times higher than their Northern counterparts, with the lower Mississippi Valley holding the highest concentration of millionaires in the U.S."

"In 1860, the market value of ENSLAVED PEOPLE exceeded the total value of all U.S. railroads and factories."

Note, post Civil War, a system of 'Penal Servitude'(Convict Leasing) was introduced in the South, a form of state-sponsored slavery, you will claim it was not slavery by another name. 'Penal Servitude' ended in the last state, Alabama in 1928, but the last person was released in 1942. So we can say slavery ended in America in 1942.

Attaboy Paul.

Pretend that all the slavery over the millennia throughout the world isn't worth talking about except for the relatively small slave society in the Southern US states.

20-25 million African slaves sent to the Middle-east between the 8th and 20th century. Nup, Paul doesn't know about nor want to know about it.

3-4 million European slaves sold in North Africa and the Middle-east. Nup, Paul doesn't know about nor want to know about it.

11 million African slaves sent to South America. Nup, Paul doesn't know about nor want to know about it.

Half-million slaves sent to North America. OMG, its a disaster for the planet. Compensation must be paid by people who never owned slaves to people who never were slaves. Its all Paul can talk about and all he wants to know about.

I'm particularly impressed by Paul's persistence in ignoring the slavery perpetrated by the Maori, even though they themselves boasted about it.
