Australia has a very successful multicultural society thanks to the intake of post war migrants. Yes, there is always problems with people, regardless of ethnicity, but in Australia those problems have been relatively minor compared to the benefits immigrants have brought to Australia.

When we see or hear what appears to be the nonsense of “successful multiculturalism”, and retort that it hasn't been successful anywhere since it was it was forced on white, Western countries only, perhaps we have got the the wrong end of the stick, and it has been successful in doing the job it was meant to do: destroy Western civilisation after the mongrels responsible for are dead and gone e.g Malcolm Fraser in Australia.

If multiculturalism was meant to bring down the West, as I am convinced it was, then it is proving to be very successful.

regardless of ethnicity,
Paul1405,
yes, there are bad apples in every crate however, when you have crates upon crates of bad apples delivered to your shores instead of having them sorted first then you're literally inviting a contaminated harvest. To claim this import to have unforseeable consequences is as idiotic as it can be.
Race is not the issue here, it's ethnicity. IMO one of the worst factors is dual citizenship as people are splitting their loyalty from the start.
There are also those who take on Australian citizenship for a smoke screen because the silly system allows religion to be instrumental in changing this society in their favour not in Australians favour ! After all, the Census statistics are what policies are made on not the number of people.

If my parents and grandparents had not been invited to
come to Australia and settle here to fill the acute
labour shortage post World War II. If they had not
been accepted here they would have joined the millions
murdered by the regime from which they were fleeing.

Therefore I care deeply about refugees and asylum
seekers. My family worked hard in this country.
They taught us to respect the norms and values of our
neighbours and colleagues. They taught us to avoid
stereotypes, judgements, and biases.

I think the reason that in our country we've been
successful with multiculturalism is because
our governments have been clear and inclusive and have
established clear and shared expectations.

Their policies and programs have helped greatly.

Australia is, in my opinion the best country in the
world. That's why so many want to come and live here.
We're not perfect. But we're certainly better than
many others.

All of us have ancestries of people who came from elsewhere.
We are and have always been a diverse people. Even our
Indigenous people were made up of different tribes -
speaking different languages.

We need as human beings care about injustice and inequality.
We need to find our shared humanity and what unites us not
look for divisions and exclusions.
We should care deeply about refugees and asylum seekers and
that they should be met and welcomed to this country.

Migrants have made a huge contribution to our nation. And
they continue to do so. That is something that we need to
acknowledge . Because it is factual.

Dear Indyvidual,

If anyone is to be blamed for "invasion" then it is the white/British Australians who "took" the land from the aboriginals.

But I am not asking you to feel guilty because you are not an invader - you are a guest on God's land just like the aboriginals before you, it was neither previously their land nor is it now yours. They had no "right" to prevent you from coming, nor have you any "right" to prevent others - and those who attempt to forcibly prevent others from coming are bullies.

There should be no need for stealth and deceit because those arriving from other continents into the continent of Australia do not even need to inform you why they come, just like your ancestors never had to inform the aboriginals why they arrived.

If people arriving wish to join your society as well, then of course that is a different story - if they want to be entitled to welfare, healthcare, aged-care, police+courts protection, etc., then obviously you may ask them why they come, then obviously you have every discretion whether or not to accept them into your society - but not so if they only wish to move into this continent.

Yuyutsu,
We all know the Aborigines but we're still unclear as to who the Aboriginals were although new findings are made as DNA testing goes on. The Aborigines claimed all the Aboriginals had but they're not accused of invasion.
