In this wonderful country that prefers foreigners to locals, and fast tracks visas for said foreigners from Gaza in no time flat, Irish comedy writer (Father Ted e.g) and anti-transgender activist, Graham Linehan, has been waiting in New Zealand (no trouble getting in there) for weeks for a visa to enter Australia.

Australia is the only country in his many travels where this has happened.

He has been unable to find out why he hasn't been able to get a visa. But it's getting harder and harder to find out anything. The hard Left Albanese regime censors everything, especially things and people that don't follow its doctrines.

In the meantime, Foxy just gives us more junk references from the very same people and organisations she lifts her "opinions" from.

Good Morning Folks,

Here's the link again that I gave earlier and left out
a letter. My apologies:

http://sbs,com.au/language/hindi/en/article/what-does-being-an-australian-mean-to-you/516fp2hst

It is an interesting read. It shows the love and passion
that so many people
feel making this country their own. Of course as we can
see from some who post here there is a vast chasm between
yhose who do have love in their hearts and
those who don't, are insecure, and display symptoms of
severe mental health issues.

As I wrote earlier none of us are obliged to have unity
with hateful people. We are not morally bound to make
peace with a heart that dehumanizes other human beings
because of their skin, their nation of origin, their gender,
their orientation, or if their opinions and politics
differ from ours. We need to remember for our own sanity
that we:

We don't have to support people who brandish such
polluted hearts and continue to actively brandish
and actively perpetuate inequality and the stoking of
division and manufacturing discrimination.

We can all be conscientious objectors in a war against
this kind of country. That's why no matter how much the
supporters of people like Pauline Hanson may bleat -
they will not make much headway and will eventually
die out. For which we can all be grateful.

Once again my apologies. I have problems with my
eyesight and a very old computer. Here's the link again:

All these junk references!

Junk references are those that are wrong, irrelevant, misleading, corrupt, uninformative, useless, or purely rhetorical. There is no way of knowing whether the person using them has actually read them; if they have just thrown them out hoping nobody will check them; whether the references have been verified by other parties.

For people expressing opinions they are totally useless. If a reader has an opinion different from a poster, that opinion is not going to be changed just by one or more extra versions of that poster's opinions.

They are super-dooper waste of time for people who have multiple goes at getting them right, and then blame an inanimate computer for their inabilities. Added to her problems is the naivety of thinking that anyone but one of the very few raving lefties here will be turned by the SBS and the ABC.

References and citations are for academic purposes. They are a waste of time on social media and anywhere OPINIONS are expressed.

I will own up to NEVER reading what just amounts to another version of the same opinion I disagree with, or what is actually just the source of the posted opinion. People who can't sink or swim on their own OPINIONS on a site called ONLINE OPINION, need to look elsewhere for entertainment.

ttbn,

My goodness I must have again hit a nerve with you.
I sincerely apologize for apparently upsetting you
so greatly. I can assure you that I do read all of the
links I give - and they are carefully chosen by me
to back up my posts.

Perhaps, I should have consulted you first prior to
selection - as to what would be acceptable to you and
not considered a "junk reference, "by you. All I have to go
on is being a professional qualified and trained
researcher with over 30 years experience.

Still I appreciate your passion and interest in me and
in whatever subject I happen to choose. We do have a history
on this forum and no matter how often you promise to leave
me alone - you find me to be some sort of magnet. I guess
I should be flattered and not just concerned.

A pity that you didn't read the SBS link. It related to
the opinions of migrants - which was the topic under
discussion after all. Or are you saying their opinions and
experiences don't matter and you consider it all "junk?"

In any case we are obligated to not violate the forum's
rules against personal attacks. Members of the forum are
expected to treat each other politely and if they continue
their vindictive behaviour the Moderator may consider
suspending accounts.

BTW: I have explained in the past that I have problems
with my eye-sight (I need operations) hence my mistakes
with the links and my antiquated computer does not help -
but I'm fond of it.

I ask for your patience and understanding.

Try being the decent chap that I feel you really deep
down are.
