Benjamin,

Your post is excellent except the bit where you compare Nazi Germany with the left. Nazi Germany controlled the press for the good of the mother land. The left don't care about Australia. That's a big difference. The left is about race mixing and sexual perversions(child porn etc). The only good leftie is a dead one.

A zero tolerance policy needs to be implemented. There is too much tolerance for these thugs who have been terrorising our streets for years here in Sydney. Muslim countries have a harsh zero tolerance, implemented by the police / military and it is required over there because of their violent culture. They have brought their culture here.
I am of Lebonese origin and know my relatives left their birth country for a better place to live.
Australia is the best country in the world and I cant understand why todays muslims want to turn Australia into the muslim country they, or their relatives had fled.
The comments I get are "not every muslim is a terrorist but all terrorists are muslims", and it makes me wonder why they left their terrible country.
All these troublemaking muslims need to be sprayed with pigs blood so they can go to hell without their virgins and then the good ones will be left alone.

Can anyone really clarify to me why Australia needs immigration from any country at the moment?

Our infrastructure is in disarray, Sydney (in particular) packs people like sardines into its public transport. Our suburban areas are becoming over developed, tearing down traditional aust houses with large backyards and creating third world slum estates.

We dont have a labour shortage like post WW2 and i know HEAPS of uni students that are not employed in technical fields they have paid 15k plus to be trained in.

And now we have a fragmented society... Therefore i ask what good was or is any further immigration in general?

Never truer words were spoken David,and you can tell by the bile ,hate and attempted character assassinations by some on this forum that you have hit quite a few raw nerves.Good on ya and keep at it.

AMSADL,

“You wouldn't believe the ABC by the sound of it, so try any other national paper” Hmmmmm Yeah Okay that’s …umm logical?

Sorry but you lost me after that. Is that not what the article is saying. If the “shock Jocks” did not provide what majority of people wanted, reporting and discussion, then they will go by the way side. (Oh by the way thank you, Oh intelligent one for pointing out to little old me that Alan Jones is a shock Jock)
If a station does not rate or a newspaper does not circulate then people have made their choice. What journalism is supposed to do is report all the facts and analyse on the facts. And not shout people down who have a difference of opinion. (Where is David Marr these days). Talk back provides that at the moment

Your comment “asking why the media in Australia is so uncritical of the invasion of Iraq “ I am sorry but what planet are you on? I get sick of reading the entire world will end stories on Iraq in the media. Be serious. . Oh and all Howard’s lies. Well that’s the beauty of democracy, people can chose in elections…… Pity they do not always chose the way one wants.

Onya mate! Great post. Have you read Dr Waleed's article on another post in this forum? It will make you feel good mate.

Distain - agree with you. Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast are going crazy with so-called development - without any infrastructure.

God I'm glad we left Sydney when we did!

Merry Christmas to all
Kay
