People PLEASE!

You are all right depending on your individual experiences. However, I think you are all missing the point. It doesn't matter where people come from, it is how they react and behave in their new environment that matters. If someone comes to Australia because the land they left is untennable, why would they want to change the land that gives them succour and a quality of life far above that which they left.

As I have said before, it is a numbers game. Too many people from one origin is definitely going to cause agravation. Look at English football hooligans. We need diversity to give us perspective, variety and a bit of spice (especially food) to our lives, but why jepardize our quality of life by increasing the NUMBERS of people.

If you wish to live in a culturally diverse country, this is it, but if you want to change it to the stultifying, poverty stricken culture from which you escaped due to luck, good management or money, get on a plane and go back to where you came from. We should be working to improve the lot of people in underdeveloped countries by offering free education and back up resources for when they return home.

Educated people in their own country can have a far greater influence than foerigners trying to do the same thing. Then people would be happy to stay where they are.

One in, one out and educate!

Long shot.....yes, but at least it is an alternative to the mess we are rapidly heading towards now!

Missionary? Please just give up. Whilst you are unintentionally very amusing, it's about time you got your coat, mate.
