The positives in your article about multi-culturalism are great. I support them to the hilt. I'm liberal and multi-cultural. It is not the preserve of the ALP.

The negatives, finger-pointing, the baying and blame belong only among ALP members and unionists. (Remember they are our traditional racists)

No problem with people coming to our country.......just the numbers!

When will we wake up? Maybe the rule should be "one in one out", that way we keep our diversity and maintain what is left of our natural environment for the future. We also lessen the risk of one group getting into a powerful position and changing our laws which would restrict the freedoms our Fathers and Grandfathers fought for.

Guy V - does your 'one in one out' idea apply to births and deaths?

Spendocrat.

Australia's natural population change is roughly zero, similar to most countries where women have an education and a life expectancy.

Thank you Emma! There are many of us who love our country and our varied compatriots passionately. Some gladden us, some infuriate us, a bit like in any family.

Australia is without a doubt the most successful multicultural country. It is unendingly tedious to have people constantly compare us to other countries. Like Britain, or France. Like comparing apples to oranges.

Bruce Haigh, that was a beautiful post you wrote.

It really amazes me that multiculturalists claim that "Australia is without doubt the most successful multicultural country"

What, even better than Canada, the instigator of MC?

One can only wonder at what their criteria for claiming success is.
Is it ongoing inequality for women in some quarters or that the RSPCA only rescued 30 roosters, in South Brisbane, from cockfighting?
Well that is better than the 123 fowl they rescued the year before.

Is it that Auburn hospital only had to treat 50 odd patients for post FGM problems last year. How many other girls suffered the truama of FGM but did not get medical attention?

The MC lobby is ignorant or blissfuly disregards these types of issues. They never offer suggestions about how to reduce the social problems of some groups. They ignore the rude and offensive conduct of Leb muslims to females, the intimidation and gang bashings of anglo males, the 70 gang rapes of girls in S/W Sydney with racial purposes, the harrassment of girls, for 10 years, at Cronulla from which that infamous day grew where the locals retook the beach for all to use. They further ignore the riotous behaviour and bashings that took place after Cronulla, resulting in serious injury of individuals.

Then there is the riots and violence of the serbs and croats. What do they suggest we do to stop that cultural hatred.

If Aus is deemed to be MC successful, perhaps we should have a closer look at some of the less successful countries.

Or, maybe the multiculturalists should remove their rose coloured glasses and have a good look at reallity.
