Multiculturalism is a central characteristic of a
shared Australian identity alongside Australia's
First Nations traditions and its British institutions.

Our national identity continues to grow from
pre-settlement today and into the future. Migration is
fundamental to the Australian story. It supports our
economic success and drives the increasing diversity of
our society.

Successive waves of migration have shaped and influenced
the development of a rich and multicultural society.

Dear Nathan,

I replied to your opening post last Friday.

You decided to reply to Mhaze first «mhaze (the first I'll reply to)"» and so I waited patiently for your response.

Meanwhile the rest of the stuff that flies here on this thread is of no interest for me, yet I am forced to follow it and be alerted when people post, in case your response is coming.

You don't need to respond to me, but I do not need to continue wasting my time here either, so if you do not write back to me today then I will assume that you are not interested and quit this thread as I do have better things to do in life. Thanks.

My previous post was taken from the following link:

It's worth a read.

It's the most authoritarian of impulses.... everyone has freedom of religion, so long as they chose a religion I approve of.

Talking about impulses?

I smile because I'm a poster on this forum.
I laugh because there's nothing you can do about it!

mhaze,

Now to be serious.

I can tell by your sarcasm and at times by your rude
comments - that we really should be best friends.
