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: http://sbs.com.au/language/hindi/en/article/what-does-being-an-australian-mean-to-you/5l6fp2hst Posted by Foxy, Friday, 15 March 2024 11:33:15 AM

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. Posted by ttbn, Friday, 15 March 2024 12:21:31 PM

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. Posted by Foxy, Friday, 15 March 2024 1:00:55 PM

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.
