Multiculturalism should never have been inflicted upon us, but it is now entrenched, with dingbats even claiming it to be “successful”; as demonstrated by anti-Semitism, pro-Palestinian riots and seiges, along with ethnic politicians making a fuss about foreign politics, I suppose.

All Albanese says about the abomination that is multiculturalism is it is a “key part” of modern Australia; and we should “nurture our multiculturalism” - just because he says we should: no real reason given.

On the other hand, to give him credit, Peter Dutton recognises the very obvious downside of the policy, and points to the fact that there is, or should be, a social contract whereby “we do not allow the problems, the tensions, or the animosity of other parts of the world to manifest in our communities or on our streets”.

Unfortunately, the Albanese government has not implemented any such ‘contract’; has not even used the existing laws on hate speech.

Dutton has said there is clear evidence of “people in our country today who do not subscribe to our democratic values” and of individuals “who do not want to change for Australia but want, instead, for Australia to change for them.”

There is an election coming. And it is hoped that Mr. Dutton will put his oppositional beliefs into government as the only practical alternative to Mr. Albanese.

Homeaffairs.gov.au tells us that it was in 1978 that the
first official national multicultural policies were
implemented by the Fraser Government in accord with the
recommendations of the Galbally Report in the context of
government programs and services for migrants.

In October 2016 the government formally reaffirmed its
commitment to racial respect. The Prime Minister moved a
Statement on racial tolerance in the Australian Parliament's
House of Representatives. The Statement read:

This House:

1) Reaffirms its commitment to the right of all Australians
to enjoy equal rights and be treated with equal respect
regardless of race, colour, creed or origin.

2) Reaffirms its commitment to maintaining an immigration
policy wholly non-discriminatory on grounds of race, colour,
creed or origin.

3) Reaffirms the commitment to the process of reconciliation
with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the
context of redressing their profound social and economic
disadvantage.

4) Reaffirms its commitment to maintain Australia as a
culturally diverse, tolerant, and open society united by an
overriding commitment to our nation, and its democratic
institutions and values and -

5) Denounces racial intolerance in any form as incompatible
with the kind of society we are and want to be.

This Statement was supported by the Opposition Leader and
was carried unanimously.

In the Western English-speaking countries multiculturalism
as an official national policy started in Canada in 1971
followed by Australia in 1973 and it was in 1978 that the
first official national policies were implemented. Where they
are maintained today.

These were quickly adopted as official policy by most
member-states of the European Union.

A mother, Sakina Muhammad Jan, has been identified as the first person in Australia to be convicted of causing a person to enter into a forced marriage.

Startlingly, the offence has been law for only a decade in this country, although enforced multiculturalism has been with us for 50 years.

During that time, there have been periodic rumblings about young girls being sent back to their parents’ homeland to marry men they didn’t know. Nothing was done because, hey, multiculturalism is so “successful”. Don't want to rock the boat. Don't want to admit how wrong we got it.

Not even friendly warnings that that sort of thing is not on here.

Well the stupidity of the naive expectations of alien cultures just fitting in are now in the MSM. This woman's 21 year daughter was murdered by the man she was forced to marry 6 months after the wedding. He is doing a life sentence.

The prosecutor wants the mother in jail too, to send a message to the “community”.

But, this is in Melbourne where judges are more interested in looking up innocent Cardinals than non- white minority imports.

Also deserving jail are the politicians who thought that all they had to do was introduce multiculturalism (without our permission) and everything would be fine.

"Since forced marriage was criminalised in 2013, significant
steps have been taken by government, civil society,
and communities to better identify and protect those vulnerable
or subject to forced marriage in Australia."

"However, despite those often collaborative efforts more
effective strategies are needed which focus on prevention and
early intervention. To do this we need to better
understand how Australian communities are
impacted by forced marriages, how they
best respond, and what they think can be done to prevent it at
the community level."

"Most of all, we need to understand the experiences and advice
of affected communities, what has worked, and what is needed
to truly have a community led response."

To this end, the Australian Red Cross has undertaken a series
of consultations with communities. There's more at the following:
