John Kerr had to be a member of the most anti-Australian government this country has ever seen.

During the politically correct madness of the Labor years everything Anglo-Australian was categorised as 'bad' and everything nonAnglo-Australian was 'good'. In a Marxist inspired 'dead weight of history' philosophy, the government seemed hell bent on eradicating everything inherited from our 'white' past and replacing it with a new ideology called variously; "We Lack Self Confidence", "We Have an Inferiority Complex", "You're better Than Us", or by its official name, multiculturalism. For the kids in charge it became a kind of substitute for 1991 and their Communist Utopia Lost.

And it seems a leopard doesn't change its spots. So many years later Kerr is still trotting out the same, 'we're bad, you're good', party line.

Perhaps John Kerr (and his supporters) would care to take a look at 'multiculturalism' as it works in Lebanon before he calls Australians racist. He might specifically take a look at the period 1975 -1990, where around 100,000 people were killed in a religious and ethnically divided civil war.

Hmmm... What is the implication of the term "racist" anyway? Does it mean that the people must then go on trial or maybe will miss out on heaven?
I spose the adage "dont judge a book by its cover" would be broken if one were ajudged "Racist"

Morris Iemma has a police shortage because he uses them primarily as revenue collectors.How many times have you passed a RBT unit with six police and no one on call for robberies or assaults?Why not have one policeman and five RTA people to man the RBTs.Also use the RTA manpower to manage the traffic.

This has the double bonus of freeing up more police to counter crime, but also it removes the resentment the public feels toward police for being revenue collectors.You will then raise the status of the police,get a higher quality of recruit and have less crime.

If Morris still doesn't have enough police,talk to John Howard about rebadging with police uniforms,people from the army, who then can be our riot police.Morris proposes a force of 50 men for the whole of Sydney.This is totally inadaquate.

When the dust settles they will go back to their old tricks of spasmodic strikes on unsuspecting individuals and the cycle will begin again.We need zero tolerance and real consequences for thuggery.

I can't see Morris Iemma taking tough decisive action ,since the problem eminates from his electorate.

Racism is ugly in all forms, my grandfather told me of his first experiences in Australia, how he would be taunted by fellow pupils in the early 1900's. Australia has always been one of those countries where new immigrants were treated badly, but over time, learned to blend in with the population. First were the Italians, then the Greeks, then soviet bloc countries, then asians, and lastly middle eastern countries. All races have made a positive,contribution add to our society, and sadly most races have something negative to add. We tend to take the positives, e.g variety if food, culture etc... We are a much enhanced society for multi-culturism, if only as a society we could learn to welcome people of different races, instead of making them go through an iniatition ceromony before they are accepted, we would surely heap the benefits, sadly some in our society are unable to do this. Why is it that we must catergorise gangs as Muslim gangs, instead of just plain gangs, and deal with the gang, rather than the race? To me thugs are thugs, whether they are black, white or brindle, and should be treated as such, equal under the law, without discrimination, if they act irresponsably, charge them they are breaking the law. What do we sat when a gang is made up of different races, we then try to put them in a socio-economic bracket, what is needed is not a vicous crackdown, but rather acceptance, why is it that hospitals and other workplaces can work in harmony, yet the racial card is played in political terms. One can only deduce it is for political gain, divide and conquer a theory as old as Nepoleon, sadly an apathetic public fall for it every time, by the way my grandfather was English.

God you whinge and whine.

Can you tell us how to fix this tragedy?

Please don't give me Abbo stuff and Anglo stuff.

Please don't tell me because I am white and that Captain Cook invaded this country, that I am the cause.

I have lived with Aboriginal people.

You would not listen in previous posts about my experiences with my fan-bloody-tastic Aboriginal friends.

Stop blaming Captain Cook. I have Irish and Polynesian heritage. My GGG grandma was a Polynesian Lady. I love that! Indeed, she was a Princess.

When I lived in Townsville, people thought that I had Aboriginal heritage because of my features. My Murray mates laughed their heads off when I told them my heritage.

You always come across as a really angry person.

Merry Christmas
Kay
