Since when was demography static? Australia's population is set to grow to 26 million by 2030 and 29 million by 2050. Yet, Australia's total fertility rate is well below replacement levels. All net population growth occuring today is exclusively due to ongoing, historically unprecedented levels of immigration. This means that, while Australia's ageing (dying) European-descended population will continue to shrink in both absolute and relative terms, the immigration population will grow by leaps and bounds in the coming decades.

Peter Costello warned last year: "Theoretically, a nation that does not replace itself can eventually disappear." Pity the mass immigrationist Howard Government is part of the problem.

In fact, not a single Western country has a fertility rate that will enable it to survive in its present form through this century. By 2050, only 10% of the world’s people will be European or of European descent, and it will be the oldest tenth on Earth with a median age of almost 50. Call it a demographic neutron bomb. A dying resident population combined with high immigration means that the cities and towns will still be standing and inhabited, but the civilization that built them will be extinct.

“Peter Costello warned last year: "Theoretically, a nation that does not replace itself can eventually disappear." Pity the mass immigrationist Howard Government is part of the problem” – that is the beginning and the end of a story: increasing an Anglo tribe on expense of the strange-to-the-tribe is rather a silly delusion than a reality of development.

Care to answer the question, MichaelK? Considering your overt Anglophobia, I presume it's some place far superior to the "Anglo" nations.

Oligarch gave China as an example country preaching unity by not allowing African immigrants. Though, it is probably more a case of few requests of migration to China by Africans than a Chinese policy, but let's leave that aside.

Firstly, China is a more ethnically, linguistically and racially diverse country than Australia. Just because 'they' look 'alike' to you does not mean 'they' are. The written Chinese language is the only way many Chinese can communicate with each other. All the languages are as diverse as Finnish is to French. Only the educated speak Mandarin.

Secondly, comparing a totalitarian nation like China to Australia is weird. Or are you hankering after a totalitarian dictatorship (or oligarchy as your name suggests)?

Just because there are Australians, of any cultural background, who are misinterpreting Multi-culturalism as clearly laid out on our government's website: http://www.immi.gov.au/media/fact-sheets/06evolution.htm does not negate its value for a society to live by. It is about respect for each other, not about condoning nationalistic feelings for other nation states. And it certainly does not condone disrespect towards other fellow citizens who have a different cultural back-ground.

The criticism I have about how we deal with multiculturalism here is that we do not stress enough what it stands for. Waving around with other nation state flags is about NATIONALISM, a dangerous thing in my view. A citizen should be able to be comfortable about their heritage, whatever that may be, and be a fierce and loyal patriot.

Incidentally, the Union Jack in the corner of our Australian flag is an early acknowledgment that different peoples can come together as one nation. That is a bit of English, Scottish and Irish heritage for you.

Yvonne,
Do you follow discussion or must manifest own visions? Please, read a message exactly above yours of Saturday, 14 July 2007 8:10:42 PM, by Oligarch, telling us of “Anglo nations”. Which “Australians” do you repeatedly mention of?

Please, let all interested in my answer to Oligarch be assured, that I simply reflect my personal experience in Australia, that is, according to a sure expert of the local environment, ex-PM P. Keating, an “asshole of the world” leading by “a nationalist as Hitler understood it”. However, I bear it in mind that people are what they were/are being told and affected by surrounding.

Moreover, I deeply thankful for Oligarch providing such a stuff as “Anglo nations”, which is to my understanding an explicit expression of confusion by unable to further traditionally oppress an increasing number of not-UK-linked-biologically as a world is tired from feeding up parasites from born-to-rule English elite – no association with the USA, please, as Americans in extending numbers also wonder at reasons they should feed the UK bills round a globe, and in the States surely.

As media informed, Australia is next to a top among countries youngsters loss their virginity at average age of 17 y.o. in.

Is it good or bad?

That is, for instance, a sort of questions to answer while considering “how Australia measures up” to any other place in the world, especially those places, from which professionals are being lured into betrayal of unexacting opportunities in “only for Anglos” entity.

In spite of ethnic or cultural or religious background one always awaits for any citizen who places such appendices to their identity to come out in defense of the nation or national interest. It's a rare event these days thanks to cultural marxism. Marxism loosely defined as a belief that the ultimate interests of workers best match those of humanity in general, having failed around the world, and displaced by a "new" belief that the ultimate interests of a culture best match those of humanity in general. Both ideologies how ever similar reject man as responsible, self-determining individual with a sense of personal worth and social value independent of the masses. Engineering social values through use of emotional multi-herd identity issues. Or multicultural identity issues used to further fragment an already tenuous social structure absent of unifying community values that lead up to a unified nation regardless of races, creeds or colours.
