What values should Australian society be built upon?

Gee, David Holcroft, that's a no brainer. Whatever benefits the Australian people, that's what.

Since the "refugee" program is inimicable to the interests of the Australian people, it should be scapped immediately. The only exception shgould be to the white people suffering under black regimes in Africa. After all, we the white people stabbed our own in the back with our "sanctions" which helped destroy white rule and usher in an age of barbarism in Africa, so we have a moral duty to help our own.

White refugees would be easy to assimilate, and being white would be free of the criminal tendencies and welfare dependencies that some ethnicities are renowned for.

Whilever the coloured races continue to breed like flies than there is nothing that we can do for them other than wait until the traditional and natural forces of starvation, war, and disease thin them out.

The sun gets 10% hotter every 500 million years and we either get off this planet or we burn up. We can no longer waste money that should be spent on scientific research keeping a bunch of people who appear to be genetically incapeable of living in the modern world.

Most of these "refugees" demanded that white people get out of their countries and they got their wish. For these people to now scream that they want to live with us in our countries so that we can continue to fill their begging bowls is not on.

An article that every Australian should read and talk about. Especially without getting into the usual pathetic slagging of others with name calling or angsting about 'multi-culturalism'. This is about refugees and how their numbers fit into our yearly intake of migrants.

Australia is no longer an isolated island far away from the rest of the world. We love the wealth global trade brings. We love being part of the political world stage from hobnobbing with American presidents and hosting important confabs in Sydney-primarily looking at economic benefit.

Having large numbers of people without hope on our planet impacts on us, whether we like it or not. It simply cannot be ignored.

Australia yearly takes in a large number of migrants. It is totally beyond me why we insist on mainly taking on skilled workers thereby depleting nations that are in greatest need for people to build their nation and then whining that countries are not able to get on their feet and costing us lots of money in aid and military intervention/policing/nation building.

We should spend all the money necessary, publicly and privately, on educating and skilling Australians already here and by extension refugees.

We can sell our ability to educate wealthy overseas students, but return to their own country must be mandatory. Studying here in Australia is more often than not used as a stepping stone to gain migration status to Australia.

This has nothing to do with left wing bleeding heart mentality, but with pragmatism. Not much trade or business to be done after a while in a slum. We can pay our overseas aid to our own overseas aid workers, which will make us feel real good and we can crow about how generous we are, but it isn't changing anything is it?

We meddle in overseas politics because we need the trade, we like our economic wealth. At the moment we are mainly acting like slum lords of the past. Thinking the immediate economic benefit will somehow have no consequences for our future, either in regard to national safety or economic prosperity.

Gone are the days when Calwell made me cringe. We did have one of the most successful immigration programs in the world at the time though. " apity it was we ran out of labour" to cut cane look after the sheep and all the other sh#ty jobs needing doing, those were the days.

for British ten quids worth of travel, for honeymoon or holiday just had to cope with it for two years, sometimes that wern't easy. I was glad to see the people of the past immigration on Tele recently, a pommy was chosen to represent dissatisfaction with anything Australian, she played her part well.
That the dissatisfaction shown today should be the same! they want to blow us up or something, scary.
One fellow while wandering Africa with some other kids new only how to cook on an open fire? on coming here he was unable to cook as we do on a stove, sounded like a regular guy, I'd like to meet him I need some tips.
Pity about our immigration minister halting any more of his likes coming here in the future.
