By Ghassan Hage, published 18/9/2006

Assimilationists are the real exclusionists of Australian history.

LOL CJ. You are not alone in cringing at their poor english. I wonder how many Australians would fail the new test? Me thinks many.

Citizen - aptly named. Generalisations of any kind always shock me. I wonder how many Australians identify with your above description.

Then I think. How does the umma feel about being labelled as liars, hypocrites etc?

Then I stop thinking because I realise that nothing you say is actually worth contemplating.

It would be like taking a comedy show seriously. Who does that?

There is absolutely nothing wrong with asking immigrants to accept Australian values if they choose to live here. Universal Australian values are as follows: freedom, democracy and prosperity. Australian values are not: tolerance, fair go and diversity.

Because...

Australians have the freedom to hate multiculturalism and say so. Australians have the freedom to show animated respect towards ethnic minorities and to sneer utter contempt towards Anglo battlers. That's freedom and democracy in action, mate.

Australia has an established order that affords us the freedom, democracy and prosperity we all hope to retain. Imports (sorry, 'new' Australians) must accept this or do themselves and us all a favour and go home.

And finally, white Australia is not such a bad thing. White Australia developed the country and made it a desirable place to live for immigrants around the world. Whites effectively do the spade work, while immigrants sleep on the pillow. All the more reason for immigrants to assimilate into our way of life

Good on you mate. As a 6th generation Aussie with children who's Australian heratige goes back a few thousand years further than my own I welcome you into my world, hope you feel the same way.

Interestingly we do have a selection of Australian values, we even have a strategy for teaching them in Aussie schools. You can find them on a poster supplied with the Australian Values for Schooling Kit at

http://www.valueseducation.edu.au/verve/_resources/values_values_we_share_poster.pdf

But the short version is “Fair go”, “Care and compassion”, “Responsibility”, “Honesty and Trustworthiness”, “Integrity”, “Respect”, “Freedom”, “Understanding, Tolerance, and Inclusion” and “Doing your best”.

There you go, straight from the boardroom of some well intentioned committee!

DA

I know your type DA quite well. I know a white woman who married a jamaican and had black kids. Except she taught them to hate white people. Now one kid is a wheel chair bound heroin addict. The other kid is in jail and the third kid has to supply drugs to the one in the wheelchair.

Assimilation requires respect for the broader culture. Steer clear of those extreme leftie feral types.

CJ Morgan.You apparently would not respect the the National anthem of any country on this planet,not even the one you wish to emigrate to? I don't particularly like our anthem,but I ways show respect for those who made Australia such a wonderful place compared to a mostly undemocratic,chaotic world that surrounds us.

All the left wing lunies are screaming xenophobia,and racism in the light of what countries like The Netherlands have been doing for some time with good reason.The anachists pluck facts from all over the world to suit their twisted agenders,but never do they look at the total picture of what is good for most of us.

The majority of Australians just shake their heads in disbelief and disgust at you lot.We have tolerated your lunacy and anarchy to the detriment of Australia for decades.The mentality of being soft on drugs,discipline,law,order,traditional values,work ethic etc, has brought about the decay we are witnessing now.

Enough is enough and it is time for those who work hard every day and hold up this fragile umbrella called civilisation told you lot where to go.In the past they were too busy working,but now there is keen interest.

Kim Beasley knows the reality and the hand wringing bleeding hearts who prey on our weakness are pleading for a softened approach because they might lose votes from all the minority groups they have pandered for decades.

The Labor party have painted themselves into another corner,and their demise was of their own making.The Aussie public are far more astute than the Labor Party or left wing anarchists.
