"Australia is a country where an estimated 5,000 cases of Female Genital Mutilation occur every year."

I call shenanigans tosser.
Show us where this information came from.
All I can find is an ESTIMATE of 50k women done elsewhere but living in Australia. Hardly 5000 Australian girls a year.
You are full of it.

"this practice is frowned upon but not suppressed."

This is definite BS.
It is very illegal both in Australia and for Australian citizens anywhere. There have been plenty of convictions over the years.
As I said you are full of it.

Asking those that support a change to to monoculted society, from a day to day perspective what would be the noticeable changes in Australia that would make it that way? For example its easy to say, everyone must speak English, what of the 850,000 who can't, or are not reasonable with the language, how are those people treated.

This is more of this "populist policy", without it been given any real thought, or its a lack of understanding by the promoters.

Fester,

"If you think the indigenous Australians and the first fleeters who arrived on their land are both monocultures, then I would suggest that the term is a trivial one."

Since I specifically said the pre-1788 natives were multicultural, it might be obvious that I don't think they were monocultural.

Again, its important to recognise the difference between a country being multicultural (ie having many cultures in the society) and a country practicing multiculturalism.

Almost all countries on the planet are multicultural in that they house more than one culture in the realm. But very few practice multicultural-ISM (ie aim to treat all cultures in their realm as being equally valid). It hasn't worked here. It hasn't worked in the US. Britain is most definitely finding out it hasn't worked there. France also.

But those who've bought the memes and slogans around 'diversity being our strength' are never going to recognise these failures. Luckily, enough Australians are now clear-headed enough to see these failures and want to move past them. Whether its done by One Nation or by the majors finally seeing the nose on their face remains up in the air.

"I would like to know where that figure came from."

Oh, Mr I-never-provide-evidence wants evidence. Whenever Paul sees things he just doesn't want to be true, he calls for proof.

Luckily, since I have more reverence for the facts than Paul, I do provide evidence....

"Advocacy groups like NoFGM Australia (led by survivor activist Khadija Gbla) estimate around 11 girls per day (approximately 3,800–4,000 per year)"

"The Royal Women’s Hospital in Melbourne has historically reported caring for 600–700 women affected by FGM annually."

"Based on extrapolated numbers from before 2019, there are estimated to be over 53,000 women and children residing in Australia who have experienced FGM/C. This is accepted to be an underrepresentation, " http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S2588994X25000429

mikk seems quite vexed by this..."There have been plenty of convictions over the years."

Rubbish. As far as I'm aware there has only been one case prosecuted here and it resulted in slaps across the wrist for the perpetrators.

'But male genital mutilation is considered healthy and beneficial.'

Does anyone ask the young lad?

Excuse me young man, we know you've only been here for 2 minutes, but we're just wondering if you'd mind if we cut the end of your dick off.
It's only a little bit.

2 minutes in and poor little Johhnys doesn't even know his own name yet...
And here he is..
disfigured and mutilated
Is there any recourse?
Can he sue the hospital?
Seek revenge on the mutilator?

mhaze,

You describe multiculturalism as though it were engaged in a deliberate project to undermine Anglo-European culture. Yet Anglo-European culture appears to be winning comfortably:

- Parliament is still Westminster.
- The courts still operate under common law.
- English remains dominant.
- Most migrants learn English.
- Most migrants consume Australian media.
- Most migrants' children end up sounding Australian.

The evidence seems to (or "appears to", if "seems" is still triggering for you) suggest Australian culture absorbs newcomers far more effectively than newcomers transform Australian culture.

In fact, many of the biggest cultural changes over the past fifty years seem to have come from Australians themselves rather than migrants.

So where is this subversion you're talking about?
