That mindset is based on post WWII development of cities like New York, Tokyo and London. Those cities have certain environmental qualities that Australiian cities do not. London has the Gulf stream, Tokyo has a similar heat energy engine and New york has an orographic (mountains) advantage that our cities do not.
Further, there is now a global concern over 6.4 billion people being ever able to live cohesively on this Earth and that is exacerbated by climate change and a looming Peak oil (Mad Max 2) scenario. The politicians promoting immigration for personal POWER, GLORY and SELF AGGRANDISEMENT need to be aware that in the next 10 years, when the Peak Oil crunch comes they will be regarded as the MONSTERS of modern times. They will be regarded in the same light as Stalin, Hitler and Pol Pot. No 'bolt hole' will hide them from ACCOUNTABILITY. They must think long and hard about their immigration propaganda from here on because in any tribunal, it will be that propaganda, as obvious as Iemma's Deal debacle and X city Funnel, that will be evidence against them in years to come.

Politicians must also understand that although you can legislate against ACCOUNTABILITY in power, that can change as a new wind of truth inevitably blows across the planet.

Mr Bartlett, what must we do to rid ourselves of this immigration policy tarbaby known as multiculturalism? And how can we reduce the number of migrants to zero while we put the house in order?

Does it make sense to anyone other than our dim-witted politicians that as migrants arrive in Australia, our jobs are being sent to India and China? Indeed China's economy is expected to be the largest in the world in just 10 years. Surely if a country needs workers it will be China. And why bring people here to park them on the seats at the local CentreLink office?

Mr Bartlett, Stephen Rimmer was commissioned to report on the cost of multiculturalism. In 1991 he put the cost at upwards of AUD$7.2 billion per year. Let's round it down to an even $7 billion. So that's 14 years by $7 billion giving us an expenditure figure of AUD$98 billion. I'd say that your goal — putting serious resources into settlement services — has been achieved. Indeed some Australians are paying with their lives so that your goal may be achieved. I am reminded of the man who died in a hospital south of Liverpool because it didn't have a CAT machine. He left a wife and three young children behind. Does our present expenditure on multiculturalism mean that our education budget, our health budget, our roads budget etc should be starved of funds? Even the Royal Flying Doctor Service had to sell lamingtons to raise $7 million for a new aircraft. As an Australian that disgusts me.

Why not spend our taxes on roads, education, health, and other essential things and have lamington drives and sausage sizzles and chook raffles to raise money for multiculturalism?

Mr Bartlett, do you and your colleagues know that you are responsible for shaping our society?

This is the same content of analysis and recommendation that Australian citizens are fed by our politicians who live in glass houses.

Treaties signed by our governing political parties especially in the 1970, have resulted in international influences dictating what, who and when we are to receive immigrants and from the countries they choose.

To accomodate our bulging society, Australia focus should be on our infrastructure and maintaining essentials needs.

We see many of our institutes underfunded and not coping with our populations we currently maintain.

Australia needs to pull out of these treaties and access the damage from there.

There is concern about people coming into this country, going on welfare and having a huge amount of babies when they cannot afford them and even if they are on welfare. Australia pays large amounts in Family payments, if you have a lot of kids you get paid a mint, you don’t need to work. This money should be going to our Hospitals and Schools.

There are a lot of issues, some of them are based on beliefs some of them fear and some of them attitude!. Problem is that the Government doesn’t allow us the information to see the facts. It’s all spin. That causes a lot of misinformation, resentment and hostility.

@Jolanda

How about you doing own research? ,you do it for other things when it comes to ethnic people,its not always the government.
I believe people like you will never see any bad in people migrating from countries where the people skin colours/ethnic groups are not black or dark brown. You will never truly see people as people.
Thousands and thousands of immigrants migrated from place like Britain and the rest of europe to Australia, but we will never know that side of the story,or the whole story for that matter.

Andrew thanks, you again remind me why the smell of death hangs strongly around your party.
Migration and Multi cuturism have nothing to do with continueing lawlessness of a few.
Fundamentalism combined with no regard for law and an existing host culture ,are not evedence of racism.
We will continue to grow along with Multi culturism , but without some effort to understand our way of life most Australians will not feel threatened by some selection of migrants.

Whereas I can see the benefit of importing small numbers of of well educated immigrants who have skills which this country needs, I do not understand why Australia needsw to import huge numbers of unassimilatable, violence prone, welfare dependent people who are already notorious for their high rates of criminal behaviour.

That some immigrant groups quite plainly make far superior citizens than those from countries where medieval mindsets and hatred of all governmental authority prevails. But this is something which people like Mr Bartlett steadfastly refuse to look at. Firstly, because it violtaes the sanctity of their humanitarian ideals, and secondly because the Democrats are now actively seeking the Muslim vote in order to redress their continuing slide to political oblivion.

The maintainance of an unacceptably high immigration program so that political parties can pork barrel immigrant groups just before Federal Elections in order to buy "The Greek vote", the Muslim vote" or the "Jewish vote", is quite plainly a violation of the democratic process. (Hang the Australian vote.)

Purely on an environmental level, continueing high levels of immigration are unsustainable. Sydney, the usual recipient of immigration problems, is running out of water (dam levels only 44% after a sustained period of heavy rain) and our roads are choking. Immigration has meant the creation of ethnic ghettoes with high rates of criminal beahviour and welfare dependency. Mr Bartletts solution? Well gee, Aussie taxpayers will have to dig a bit deeper to fund crime prone unwanted immigrants who can not stand on their own two feet.

Multiculturalism has been a disaster for every society cursed with it. These societies are so socially divided that it hasd resulted in high levels of criminal behaviour, terrorism, calls for separatism and finally civil war. Cronulla was simply a portent for things to come.
