The white Australia policy grew out of the racial tensions that arose with the arrival of the chinese. The government of the day wanted a society free from ethnic conflict.

John Stone is 100% correct, as we have seen the effects of Muslim immigration to Australia has been mostly negative. Unemployment among the Turkish & Lebanese is extremely high, although as Bob Carr once said, these Lebanese are fully employed in drug dealing, car rebirthing, ect. The imprisonment rate of middle-eastern men is sky rocketing, but one can't say that the Muslim community has the same problems as say, the Aboriginies. No Muslim drunks, or Muslim homeless, indeed, their youth drive around in brand new hotted up Subaru's with number plates "On Dole", which shows how sick & racist such people are towards our giving community. Armed robberies, racist bashings on whites in Darling Harbour by gangs of Lebanese men on Friday nights, social security fraud (according to the Daily Telegraph, ethnics are most likely to rort welfare as they often have various identities)it's outrageous. Gunshots & a riot (although it's only come out in the leftist media now) in Auburn in January over the Iraqi election poll vote. A man was actually bashed in Auburn for putting an Australian flag in his shop window by middle-eastern thugs. Labor branch stacking in Auburn as well, showing us that such communities aren't democratic in the slightest, as we see in their undemocratic hellhole nations. They vote for who their leaders tell them to vote. I agree wholeheartedly with Stone, although I'd go further & say multuculturalism shouldn't only be stopped, but reversed.

I agree MS Burns - the effects of immigration have been murder on the original inhabitants of this country.

If you can't trace your ancesters back more than say, 10,000 years you should go back where you came from.

I broadly agree with Stone’s points 3, 4 and 5. Given that citizens can vote, I think it is reasonable for citizenship candidates to have enough English to be able to take part in general debate on relevant issues, and to have some sort of demonstrated understanding of and commitment to values like tolerance, respect and the rule of law, although a written test sounds a little heavy.

On the other hand, I find point 6 excessive (English as an absolute requirement for immigration), point 1 meaningless (I can’t see any reason why abolishing SBS would be a good idea) and point 2 completely daft, ridiculous and offensive (refusing entry to all Muslims).

Saying that Islam is a failed culture because some nutters use it to justify blowing up tube trains is as absurd and pea-brained as saying that Christianity is a failed culture because some idiots use it to justify blowing up abortion clinics.

to john stone ,
john howard has made it harder for intelligent young aussies to go to uni and expand their views on the world around them, and i hear a muslim leader telling young muslims they should not go to university or they will have their thinking contaminated .just great! now john stone wants to close the borders AND sbs .
more dangerous ignorance and less tolerance on both sides won't give your's or my grandchildren a better life.
all australians should demand a better plan and action for a peacefull future ,to be put in place by this [or another] at present, very poorly led government .
hanging on to america's coat-tails won't solve our social and political problems.

Ian,the problem is that there are far more nutter Muslims proportionally and numerically than nutter Christians.The Muslims have too many head banging Koran readers that are totally subjugated to a very narrow belief system.Just go to the Middle East and live under their totalitarian system and dare to espouse such comparisions.

Kartiya,whose coat tails do we cling to,if not the USA?How do you propose that we, a miniscule nation defend ourselves against the might of China?
If we want to go it alone we have to develop our own nuclear weapons.
Either China , India or Japan could pluck us like an unwanted nostril hair at their whim.This is why we suck up to the US and we do their bidding.Can you suggest a viable alternative?
