By Tom Calma, published 22/8/2007

Reinvigorating multiculturalism is not just an option, it is a necessity for a healthy, functioning democracy.

Frankgol, organised influence. Outside of one man one vote, I'm against any government lobby for special consideration. I don't care if it's for your racist reasons because your afraid your whiteness is being ignored or if it is because someone else thinks their culture or ethnicity should receive special attention and/or tax dollars. Farmers, corporations, religions, sex, ethnics, nothing beyond your one vote. If you require an ethnic and culture council fund it on your own dime. Government should not be in the business of funding race, culture or ethnicity anymore than government should be propping up private corporations and businesses.

So we can look forward to your vigorous postings on OLO whenever the agrarian socialists (the NFF) demand more drought relief administered through the CWA. And when large corporations are seeking subsidies and tax breaks for research and development.

And you will oppose the tax-free status of churches in Australia and government funding for their schools.

And the next time Anzac Day comes around, you'll be advocating a user-pays policy when service personnel are used for ceremonials?

It's an interesting concept that you raise - teh banning of 'organised influence'. There are going to be an awful lot of noses out of joint and snouts out of troughs. Under your benign reign we might even have to abolish Government advertising designed to boost the flagging stocks of political parties rather than provide a public benefit.

"Little pig, little pig. Let me come in!"

"Of course, Big Bad Wolf, we have a non-discriminatory door-opening policy.
I'm sure your cultural tradition of eating little pigs is something we can negotiate".

Planet Earth. Year 3471 AD.

"Death To Diversity! One Race, One Culture, One Nation!" says a poster on the wall.

The rantings of white supremicists?
No, the successful global government election slogan of the Caramelites.

Centuries of global migration had created a new majority race with a new dominant culture, a synthesis of all the old races and cultures.

This "new race/culture" was everywhere you turned: Sweden, Kenya, Brazil.

Tourism was virtually non-existent.
Everywhere else was the same as back home, so nobody bothered anymore.

However, pockets of the "old" races and cultures still survived here and there.

The Caramelites couldn't stand this!
It prevented the "pure" new world from reaching its full potential.

Anything of the "old" world posed a threat.
Any reminder of how things used to be might make people want to go back and revive it.

Rampaging across the globe, The Caramelites destroyed anything and anybody that reminded them of the "old" world.

Most people either supported them, or were too afraid to oppose them.

Anybody too white, too black, too yellow, not quite the right shade of brown, or with the "wrong" facial features was shot on sight.

If large groups were found, extermination camps were created.

The Caramelites burned Turkish libraries, German museums and Mexican art galleries to the ground.

They turned Greek statues, Chinese monuments and Indian temples to rubble.

After 63 years, in 3534 AD, nothing was left of the "old" world.

No recordings, no photographs, no artworks, no documents, no artifacts, no buildings, no "old" races.
Nothing.

Only the new race and its new culture remained.

After a few generations, nobody even knew there had been another world before Caramelitia (as the global nation was now known).

Nobody knew what had existed before 3534. There were no records.

Was Caramelitia a "better" society than any before it?
Nobody knows and nobody dares ask.

"Death To Diversity! One Race, One Culture, One Nation!"
One Caramelitia.
