Australia Day cringe : Comments

By Audrey Apple, published 25/1/2008

Holding on to the ridiculous mythology of the Aussie larrikin as being the definition of Australian spirit IS cause for a cultural cringe.

In flooded country Queensland, in little country towns, we are having problems with white christian anglo's looting people's homes.

Any thoughts on what we should do about this revolting un-Australian kind of behaviour? People like that who cannot integrate and accept Australian values, but take criminal advantage of a typical Aussie calamity should not be allowed to migrate here.

Jolanda, your children should be proud of their heritages. Australians are made up of many varieties of mixtures. It is only a culturally boring, noisy, right wing minority who cannot accept this.

Tate, people from the British Isles are by far the largest group of people who do not make any kind of commitment to Australia and remain British with a permanent residency status. All the benefits of living here without citizenship duties.

Yvonne,
Yep, I could come up with a few punishment ideas. I haven't heard what colour skin or religion, if any, the looters are. Nor do I care, but forget Christmas Island (the climate is too good) but a few years on Macquarie Island would do them the world of good. The same goes for those who sexually abuse kids.

The parents of the looters should also face penalties for not teaching their kids to respect other people and other peoples property.

Like Jolanda said first off, respect is the missing ingredient.
