The Demographic of Australia is undoubtedly at the pivoting point. Multiculturalism was to be the ideal solution however, recent years have offered insight to the contrary. Many migrant groups are peacefully living here yet quite a number are of late becoming a disturbing element with serious doubt of them living in harmony in this Western Christian-based Nation.
I'm not referring to the Christian part in a religious sense just simply in the sense & evidence of people from all over the World living as a society of relative peace & harmony. The status has been fractured over the past ten years by unwarranted claims of racism by racist elements seeking to destabilise this society by exploiting & undermining Government policies under the guise of Diversity, equity & inclusion (DEI).
Migration needs to undergo some vital changes if an all-out civil unrest or heaven forbid, war is to be avoided.
It really is high time for a properly worded Referendum before the next federal election or included in the election as to what kind of society Australiuans want to live in.

Dear Indyvidual,

«properly worded Referendum... as to what kind of society Australiuans want to live in.»

That is not a matter for referendum because it's an individual choice, for each person do freely decide for themselves what society(s) (if any) they like to join and belong to.

Yuyutsu,
You mean like this ?

Who would instigate this referendum?

Dear Individual,

I keep away from filthy social-media websites.

If I were to redesign this forum again, then when trying to submit your last post you would receive the message: "Remove the profanity".

Yuyutsu,
Good to have it revealed which side you're on !

ttbn,
The Voters, for a start they can vote against the party that causes this mess & once removed we can go from there.
One nation could possibly make the first move if encouraged by voters. Just keep bringing up the idea & the fence-sitters might just sway the right direction.

Yuyutsu,
Actually, what profanity in my last post are you on about ?

I sympathise, of course, but the voters rewarded the party responsible with 94 seats. And the only voters who can cause a referendum are those in a countries like Switzerland where they have true democracy via citizen initiated referendum. The authoritarians here will never allow that.

Dear Indyvidual,

«Actually, what profanity in my last post are you on about ?»

That reference to filthy "[anti-]social media".
I obviously wouldn't open that link, and even if I mistakenly clicked on it then I have set my browser to block it.

If there is anything you like to tell me on this topic, then please do, or at least direct me using a DECENT link.

GBN has some good material. Thanks Indyvidual.

If Australia was a real democracy citizens would have the initiative to demand the referendum that Indyvidual rightly suggests. But even Constitutional lawyer, Professor David Flint seems to have given up on it. Australia is not a real democracy: it is a virtual one-party-state, with a so-called Opposition who has not done much opposing since Labor was elected. Australia also requires people who have no interest in politics - and who, therefore, completely ignorant, to vote or be fined. That's pure authoritarian bullying, as is the preferential system that forces voters to put a number against candidates they despise.

Is Albo a Westminster Dictator ?

Net permanent and long-term arrivals during January to 30 June were 279,460. This is the highest number on record, exceeding the same period last year.

The federal budget immigration forecast for the year has already overshot by 37%, or 125,000 immigrants.

Over the past 25 years, Australia's population growth has exceeded that of all English speaking countries, with immigration contributing 80% of that growth.

This nonsense affects the housing crisis at a time when the Albanese government has dumped the target of I.2 million houses by 2029 for sure, to a mere “aspiration”, according to the housing minister.

So, it's now someone might build some houses, sometime in the future, maybe.

The only thing that is certain is the continuation of mass immigration.

Will Australians start thinking too ?

Individual

I don't know what's going on, but your reference, for me at least, opens up toby a Samsung ad.

Also, Facebook is not available to non-subscribers, and I'm probably not the only person here who does not use social media.

Indyvidual

Quotes from FB are a Leftist booby trap; something similar to quoting Al Jazeera.

ttbn,
It's a clip about the Conservative mentality on a return march in Europe topping incumbents on every chart.
Europe has had enough of helping people who reject their help because they have a different agenda that doesn't include the wellbeing of the hosts.
Sadly, Australians still don't have their eyes & ears quite open but it's happening here too gradually.

Same here soon ! However, there's still some time for Australia's Left to wake up !

Indyvidual

Yes. Australia is out of touch: not so much with the rest of the world, but with our own, English-speaking allies.

A recent article in the SMH revealed that the US is concerned about the Albanese government's failure to speak up about China publicly, as previous Australian governments did. The leftist government being much less willing to discuss the threat of China than previous Australian governments could risk AUKUS.

The usual denials of softness towards China by foreign minister Wong are unlikely to reassure the US that an Albanese government would use the AUKUS submarines in a possible conflict with China.

It is noted by the US that Western left parties used to feel the same way as conservative ones about Communism, but that might no longer apply? Particularly in leftist Australia.

ttbn,
It's a case of the stupid celebrating & exploiting the self-destruction of the mindless !

https://www.facebook.com/watch?v=1448537553146673

For those who refuse to see & listen !
Looking at the Western Woke though this could actually be used to make them wake up !

Can I assume that Australians are quite happy with going down that road ?

If the current government had any you know whats they would cease all immigration for a couple of years to let things get sorted out. That wont happen so we continue to flounder along on any path available and the country continues on the downward way.
Glad i'm at the end of life and dont have to worry about the future.

gj123,

I feel the same. And I'm sick of this need to 'leave a better society for future generations' nonsense.

How about leaving a better future generation for society.

How about leaving a better future generation for society.
ttbn,
Precisely, however this can not be comprehended by the indoctrinated educated Woke as we witness here !

Indyvidual

While all of the nonsense continues, the latest polls show that the Albanese government is getting more popular: that if there was another election now, Labor would probably get even more seats.

Australians clearly approve of mass immigration and multiculturalism changing the country forever. They are more interested in handouts - bread and circuses like the Roman emperors provided to keep the disgruntled plebs quiet.

I have been accused of ‘blaming the victims’; but Australian voters are not victims: they are the instigators: Albanese is their creature: he wouldn't be there if they didn't want him. This ‘didn't get the primary vote’ is BS in our stupid system, which is too confusing and too much hard work, as it is meant to be, for the drones.

The bias towards Albanese's hard-core Socialism is said to be 60:40.

So, most Australians are getting what they want. The minority - that's us - just have to suck it up. We don't have to shut up, though; and who knows, the penny might drop before we are just like China - which is the sort of system that we are heading for.

The ridiculous preferential voting system was designed to keep the uniparty in power. Now that the other side of the uniparty has not been able to dislodge the most left-wing government ever (worse than even Whitlam), and then makes things worse by getting itself a real dud at the head of it (can't call her a leader), it looks like being permanently rooted. Australia is in a very bad place.

We have been described recently as pursuing the wet-left European model now, instead of the US one that we used to emulate. We are a joke, at the arse-end of the world, at the mercy of China, filling up with peasants who hate the West.

One commentator opines that Albanese's “recognition” of the non-existent state of Palestinian (a suck up to his Muslim/Arab imports) “breaches the social contract”. It fractures the delicate contract that binds Australian society. ‘Delicate’ because of the immigration of inappropriate people.

Albanese has recognised terrorists and ignored Australian citizens, of whom a minority support the “recognition” before peace is attained.

More splitting of society so favoured by dictators.

Not to mention the big win for Hama terrorists who have congratulated Albanese.

The commentator calls the move a “move towards terrorism”. I don't know about that, but we now know that the thought is out there. That it is an “ideological overreach” is a given. Virtue signalling over the common good. A fracturing of the social contract for “fleeting applause” from other leftist, decaying countries and from traditional enemies and terrorists.
