All, Hasn't Howard and the Right been in power for last decade?
And where do you go to cut and paste all that gobble de gook into your posts? Its so theoretically dyslexic.. or is this your intention.. to appear to be pretentiously sophisticated without saying much at all

Gee Rainer, you are being a bit hard, what cut and paste? If you do not understand anything, just ask, or even grab a dictionary. This was not a Howard problem; you know that, it started under Whitlam. Expand your horizons a little and employ your talents for the greater good of everyone, not just your self, start repaying society for what it has given you , and that is a chance to succeed. Discharge the crap some idiot has filled your head with and get on with it.
Read some of your contribution history, interesting Rainer, interesting.
If the best you can offer is insults mate butt out.

The Background to all human conflict, of course is 'resources'

Gen 21
25 Then Abraham complained to Abimelech about a well of water that Abimelech's servants had seized. 26 But Abimelech said, "I don't know who has done this. You did not tell me, and I heard about it only today."

27 So Abraham brought sheep and cattle and gave them to Abimelech, and the two men made a treaty.

Abraham had been living among the Palestinians.. OOps.. that should read "Philistines" (same thing actually) inevitably, they started fighting over the BEACH.. ooops again..no, it was access to pasture and a well for watering animals.

Same old same old. "its our beach"..."NO... its OUR beach" Instead of Abimelech's herdsmen harrassing Abrahams, we have he Lebs and Anglo's going at it.

When Abimelech heard about the fault of his herdsmen blocking the well against Abraham, he fixed it by acknowledging the crime, and making a treaty with Abraham, hmm... I'm getting this mental picture of some Commanchero's and some Bra boys having a warm fuzzy here.....

But, like most things where the issue is really a clash of cultures, the 'fix' was short term.

The conclusion that 'policy' is the answer is correct, but rather belated.

-No large concentrations of single enthnic/religious groups in one area
-No immigration or State Settlement policies which allow too many people of a similiar profile to areas in which there is no employment.

-Zero tolerance, no nonsense policing. (the idea that police must inform the people they are 'moving on' of who they are and where they work is ludicrous, see open letter from serving policeman of 17yrs in the papers)

Nothing worked for Abraham, he ended up keeping on moving till 'no one harassed him' which took quite a while.

AAh I love the Genesis, its so up to date :)

that was a great article from the former cop, just unbelievable.

how cum the media isn't all over this debacle and expose how the labour gov has feminised the police force.......in fact why isn't the liberal opposition making an issue of this??

that peter ryan was a typical PC pmmy plodder, more worried about public relations and playing politics instead of controlling the streets.

the cops should go on strike and force changes.

Vinny

thats my question as well, cops should strike god wouldn't that show people.

A friend of mine is a truck driver and had the police radio on all through the Sydney Multicultural riots, He said the cops were terrified and couldn’t deal with it at all.

We need a petition to lobby for a commonwealth level enquiry into the inability of the police forces to combat islamic crime. They face physical retribution and also legal issues (i.e. calls of racism for attempting to police islamic thugs) I think it takes about 15000 signatures to prompt a legislation change, so doable even if its more to get a Government enquiry

Government policies have certainly removed hope. The Federal Government most of all. Its continuing funding of "niche" schools, separate to, and at the cost of, the State Education System is now bearing fruit in the complete dicthotomony of Cronulla.

The egalitarian, humanity based State Education System where all of us learnt the unbiased facts, is being driven into oblivion. The option of maintaining cultural links as an addition to a civic education has been removed.

The Fed's capital funding of private schools does not encourage acceptance of multi-culturalism but allows the school's proponents to isolate and proslytize their singular point of view - turning out less than well informed students with all the cultural bias of their homeland and none of the egalitarianism which has made Australia great.
