The Australian Strategic Policy Institute may have been representative of the Australian Defense Institution in Australia when Howard created it and when it was 100% funded by them. Now the funding is 43% funded by Defense and also includes funding from major defense contractors and IT companies including Microsoft, Google, and others. Nothing is really objective in a sense, but knowing their bias enables us to put their comments in context.

Recently there have been concerns about changes to the ASPI that make it more politicized.

I thought that an article from an experienced former Australian
Foreign Minister and politician would be of value (have merit)
on the subject of the "Anglosphere".
Foxy,
One would expect that but Evans wasn't of such calibre hence the situation now !

enclaves that could endanger our country's
security by certain groups
Foxy,
Not 'could', are !

mhaze,

Thanks for Robert Conquests book suggestion.

I've got several of his books (The Harvest of Sorow, et al).
But not the one you've suggested. I'll try to get a hold of it.
At the moment I'm reading Antony Loewenstein's "The Palestine
Laboratory".

Indyvidual,

Multiculturalism works best when countries have selected
iimmigration policies that ensure migrants are qualified
and able to intergrade into society.

Also co-operative inter-action with people from different
groups can reduce prejudice and hostility. Problems arise
and can make it difficult to maintain national unity
if people see themselves as members of ethnic or racial
groups rather than citizens of a common country.

Countries like German and the UK are having problems because
for decades they had the "come one and all" policies. Allowing
migrants with poor language skills and qualifications who found
themselves on the welfare state.

Australia had a selective migration system that ensured
migrants who were willing and able to fit into our society,
to integrate were allowed in. That is why ours worked better and
Germany, UK,has problems today.

I find Foxy offensive and Anglophobic.

Hi Foxy,

The Kudos Kid said; "I find Foxy offensive and Anglophobic". I hope you are relived and take some comfort by that statement. Given the hate and vilification the Kid likes to engage in, with all his wacky Marxism nonsense spewing out all the time, if he found you agreeable then you would have a problem.
