Hi mikk, Rhian,

I see the acceptance of those basic rights; "the rule of the law, non-violent resolution of conflict, equal rights and opportunities regardless of sex, gender, race or religion; freedom of speech and religion; democratic government." as part of the universal values that all people share. Along with some other added values, customs, language, dress, beliefs, history, arts, foods and traditions that a person holds dear, those things combined forms a persons culture. Ones culture is influenced by many factors as well, family, education, social environment, employment, and certainly by ethnicity and for the religious by their religion.

Those values that Rhian mentioned are very important as forming part of the Australian ethos of the somewhat abstract ideals of a "fair go" with its egalitarianism, honesty, respect and mate ship, these ideals are far more important to me than what food you eat, how you dress, what language you speak, from where you came, or the way you look, your sexuality, or the colour of your skin. As these things are far easier to identify within people, they are also far easier to use to universally stigmatise, blame, vilify and create animosity towards others who are, "not like us"!

The Lovely Pauline is doing just that as part of her seeking power through a weak populist agenda. I am totally shocked that the Coalition (not all) is prepared to jump into the back of the Gina plane with Gina as pilot, and the Lovely Pauline as co-pilot up front, as they all fly off over right field trying to drag Australia along with them.

Hi ttbn,

To take YOU up on your comment;

"I (ttbn) note that another rich person, Kyle Sandilands, has thrown his weight - and presumably his money - behind Pauline Hanson. That should have the instigator of this thread (Paul1405) yowling like a cut cat."

This KS is as I understand a radio 'shock jock', in the same vain of that turd who karked it, John Laws. Pleased that he has thrown his weight, which seems to be considerable, in fact he appears to be obese, a heart attack waiting to happen, behind One Nation, I would tear up my Greens membership if KS was contribution to them.

Sandilands only "talent" is to pollute the air waves with obnoxious obscenity along with his partner in crime, some blond bimbo named O! Doing this nonsense for millions of dollars. These cretins are engaged in what I call "wealth theft", taking huge amounts of dosh from a productive society, whilst contributing absolutely nothing of value themselves.

The Lovely Pauline is another wealth thief, thirty years with her snout in the public trough, whilst contributing nothing worthwhile. Is it not ironic that Hanson wants to sack workers who through sickness can't work, yet she in her $341,000 pa Senate job, has turned up 12% of the time. Who should be sacked!

Modern civilisation takes things from many cultures. It is multicultural by default. If you want monoculture then go to the Andaman Islands and get the arrow porcupine welcome to country from a bunch of savages.

Monocultures are the equivalent of living at the end of the railway track, one piece of Lego is not equivalent to the completed model if you like. There is good and bad in the building of civilisation, but all benefit from what has been built. Leaving the pieces in a pile seems to be Magoo's idea, whereas building something great from it should be the goal.

An example of the last attempt at establishing a monoculture in Europe;

"While the Nazi regime ruthlessly attempted to force Germany into a rigid, homogenous "monoculture" based on their racial and political ideals, it was not a natural monoculture. Instead, it was a highly diverse society that the state sought to violently reshape through the mass exclusion, imprisonment, and murder of those who did not fit their narrow vision."

Unsuitable, and in many instances dangerous, immigration and multiculturalism will continue due to the Socialists’ total inability to run the economy. Albanese needs more and more people to tax and eventually vote for Socialists out of gratitude.

Even the useless old people clad in Middle Eastern garb shuffling along the footpaths have to pay GST.

The Socialists would have us in recession without the mass immigration of any old riff-raff who applies.

There is no productivity essential to the economy. Private investment is fleeing the country as useless, often dangerous, people flock in. Immigration looks to continue to stay around 300, 000 a year.

The nemesis of the Uniparty, Pauline Hanson, correctly says that “immigration has our country in a state of crisis”.

Semi-Socialist, Angus Taylor sometimes talks about reducing immigration, deporting visa overstayers, Australian values:but who believes the Liberals any more? They are fence-sitters, still in shock, still too far left.

There is only one party with a solution to mass immigration and multicultural lunacy.

To me, Pauline Hanson's call is for a monoculture for the country that everyone should adhere to for the good of the country; not that everyone should be the same on everything private and personal.

You can't get any milder than that.
