Multiculturalism “puts Australia's interests second”, according to journalist Jordan Knight. I think that the multiculturalists’ intention was to give Australian culture a much lower position, but that's a matter of opinion. And their suicidal policy is certainly discouraging immigrants from adopting Australia's culture and way of life.

Does multiculturalism benefit Australia?

Jordan Knight writes that it was never meant to! He refers to the Frank Gallbally (notable lawyer in his time) report of 1978, which declares that immigrants had the ‘right’ to maintain their cultural and racial identity; and somehow (not explained) that was in the “best interests of our nation”, and that Australia should “actively encourage and assist” them to do so.

How this benefits the host nation has not been answered to this day - apart from childish rubbish about cuisine and the obvious lie that a diverse population gives strength.

Another report ten years later (Tony Fitzgerald, another lawyer) concluded that multiculturalism had become something for “immigrants and ethnic communities only”, and not for the whole of Australia. But, the same report advised that the “original intent” of multiculturalism was an outgrowth of “fine ideals of justice and equality and esteem”, that must be affirmed.

Work that one out! Obviously the concerns of Australians in the very same report didn't really matter. Newcomers were more important than descendants of those who made the country, and aboriginal Australians who also didn't like multiculturalism.

Previous assimilation and integration that worked was tossed aside in favour of promoting foreign cultures on Australian soil.

Australia should not be handing out money to any of the mini-cultures to help maintain them. Yet millions and millions of state and federal dollars are being handed out.

The nonsense must be stopped. And only One Nation recognises that.

Australia is one of only three countries with an official government policy of multiculturalism; the other two are Canada and New Zealand.

The federal government has given millions of dollars to “support multicultural communities with facilities and to promote connection”.

Promote connection to what? Certainly not to Australia, its culture and way of life.

Multiculturalism is an excuse to hand out taxpayer dollars “to win favours and to get votes”.

How does multiculturalism benefit Australia?

It doesn't.

Small wonder that the National Party is losing traction in the regions.

MP Lew O'Brien, posing in front of our flag, blurted that multiculturalism ‘made Australia great.

Australia was great long before freeholders with a mishmash of cultures were invited to come here, by his side of politics as much as Socialist the side.

Of course, both sides are Socialists now.

As usual with Hanson detractors, he disrespectfully, sneeringly, referred to her as ‘Pauline’, in what some sub-editor described as a “push back” against the leader of One Nation.

All these “push backs” against ON by the Coalition Clowns will ensure another term for Albanese (or his replacement). The government is the Coalition's enemy (and Australia's), not One Nation.

One of the drawbacks to a multi-racial system is the difference in accents one comes across.
Language can be spoken badly, or with such pronounced emphasis, that one cannot understand what is said.
When shopping, this can make life difficult.
So that we can be the same or similar in adulthood, we should all start the same as children.
Schools are the best place for children to adjust and develop along similar lines.
In particular, the 'state' school system.
So, no more church run schools to mislead the minds of children.
Start the same: finish as similar adults.
I am sure that if we all had the same or similar outlook as adults, Australia would benefit.
Having wildly dissimilar groupings amongst us seems to be causing difficulties in many areas.
Aiming for equal-ness amongst us would be the start of a 'long game'.
But to gain this benefit, we need to start somewhere.

Hi Ipso Fatso,

Had an old Scottish mate, his English was terrible, couldn't understand a word he was saying, the drunker he got the worse it got.

eg "Nah, ye nona be a shooten laddy!" Translation; "It Your shout lad!", and that was when he was sober, and he had been in Australia for about 30 years.

Hi ttbn,

"How does multiculturalism benefit Australia?" Its a way of overcoming bigotry and hatred, brought on by all that nationalistic clap trap. By and large we have a good social mix in Australia, but there are intolerant people who want that replaced with bigoted racism.

If there is any real bigotry and hatred, and the old favourite 'racism', they all came after multiculturalism was forced on us by the uniparty.

It's the uniparty who is to blame, by the way; not the immigrants themselves. Ranting about bigotry and racism has no place in any discussion on immigration or multiculturalism.

In this instance, we have a Marxist spouting contradictory ideas in two sentences - or what pass for sentences from a barely-literate yobbo.

The twaddle about bigotry and racism doesn't often come from immigrants, who are aware that they have come to a country that is 70%-85% white. (ABS)

Research reveals that it comes from divisive locals, particularly those who married outside their own white race, who imagine bigotry and racism where there is none.

In the UK, where they have gone completely bonkers about ‘racism’, 60 children are sent home daily for ‘racist behaviour’. In order of the most offending by race:

Asians
Blacks
Black Caribbean
Mixed White/Black Caribbean
White British

Asians the biggest offenders: White Brits the lowest offenders

Why can't people see that we are creating a beautiful cultural mosaic
Erasing Australian culture is a small price to pay, we should be thankful.
The government knows best, we should trust them.

I like Armchair Critics ironic comments. It fits nicely with "don't worry the government is here", "only the guilty need to worry about surveillance", and "Any unauthorized personnel will be subject to arrest. This is for your protection.".

ttbn- Gallbally sounds like the classic middle child trying to prove himself- and is happy to tear down civilization to do it.

And Ipso Fatso seems happy to tear children away from their parents and their church and hand them to the government to create a perfect society.

CM

Your comment about children being handed over to Big Brother, reminded me of a slogan in Bella d'Abrera's book ‘Mindless’: “We want your children”.

The book is a good read, detailing the shameless brain washing of children in public schools (and in private ones having to adhere to certain parts of the far Left education curriculum) - particularly in the English speaking West, including Australia.

Quadrant has a new book coming out on the multiculturalism.

By Gary Johns and David Barton, ‘Australian Apartheid:The Aboriginalisation Of Australia’. The theme is - can a liberal democracy survive if all citizens are not equal before the law.

"I like Armchair Critics ironic comments."
Yes we're very proud of having a diverse mix of cultures here in Australia.
We love cultures, all except one that is.
We just can't tolerate Australian culture.
That's a big no-no and it has to go.

You have to love all the foreign people and all their unique identities.
But no you Aussies can't have an identity of your own
'What on earth are you thinking'

They are selling this same bs all across the planet you know.
Presenting itself as culturally diverse and inclusive;
This ideology destroys every single culture where it's preached while presenting itself as embracing all cultures..

They want a culture all right.
Any culture, - Just so long as it's NOT YOURS

Hi AC,

Culture is dynamic and not static, Australian culture is no different, it is influenced by many different factors, newly established social norms, globalisation, technical developments and the influence from other foreign cultures. There can't be a date at witch the day of culture is arbitrarily set, some might like to choose 1st January 1901 as the day Australian culture was arbitrated, and nothing shall change from that date forth. A persons attitudes, beliefs, practices, etc which form their culture of today are not the same as those of their parents, grandparents, of yesteryear or their children of tomorrow. Like it or not Australian culture will be forever influenced by the outside world, that is an inescapable fact.

ttbn,
Liberal Democracy is what brought us to this stage. For society to work in a fair system which Democracy is not, it's imperative that the Law is the same for everyone capable in the country citizen, resident & visitor ! No exception ! Although presented by control freaks as a fine model of Government, Democracy has proven to allow for too many loopholes i.e. corruption hence the mess within the particularly plagues Western societies ! Not trying to sound too religious however, reading the Ten Commandments vs what's said & is portrayed by Islam & watching the doings of societies from both outfits only offers the option to adhere to the TC's !
People must learn to accept that we are in actual fact not all equal physically & mentally & no amount of idealist pushing will change that. The Law accommodates that framework but too many incompetent or corrupt within that system fail it ! A Nation Service would make integrity play a much more prominent part in our future !

Hi AC,

Me Old Mum, used to say that migrants were "rather exotic" people, and she was talking about Greeks and Italians. The Old Man who was just as "racists" as Arty Calwell, had a bit to do with Chinese, he would say stuff like; "The Chinaman is tough to deal with, but fair, not like the bloody Jews!" and he though that was okay thinking. Different times, different attitudes.

When I was about 10 years old I was at a school friends house, they were Egyptians, I had lunch there. When I got home Mum asked, what did I have for lunch, I said; "Chips and Fish Fingers", Mum said; "I didn't think "Asian" people ate 'Fish Fingers'. I said; 'Yeah all the time, they love them".

Hi Indy,

All three monotheistic religions Judaism, Christianity and Islam adhere to the principles of the Ten Commandments. Islam does not list them as a single, numbered set, but the Quran affirms their principles. The Bible also contains passages that condones and regulates slavery, not something that is acceptable today, the Quran also does not prohibit slavery.

BTW; Buddhism broadly supports the ethical principles shared by the Ten Commandments, other than the worship of a divine creator. Buddhism does not support slavery. In fact, early Buddhist teachings explicitly oppose the buying and selling of human beings.

Isabel Beeton, 19th journalist and writer wrote cookery books as ‘Mrs. Beeton.

Mrs. Beeton was meticulous, and in one recipe for cooking hare, she wrote at the beginning, “First catch your hare”.

I suggest that posters, prior to giving opinions on culture, ‘first learn what culture actually is’.

AI Overview
The phrase "first catch your hare" is an apocryphal misquotation. It never appeared in any book by Mrs Beeton. The iconic culinary quote is instead humorously—but incorrectly—attributed to Hannah Glasse from her 1747 book The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Easy.The actual text written by Hannah Glasse for her recipe was "Take your Hare when it is cas'd". To "case" an animal meant to skin it. Over the years, "case" morphed into "catch" in the popular imagination, which gave birth to a proverb often used figuratively to mean that you must secure the necessary means before beginning a project or counting on an outcome.For more on the life of Hannah Glasse, often dubbed history's first celebrity cook, and the origin of her famous cookbook:

We already have the proof that there's at least one Monoculture that doesn't want to play a mixed game & that monoculture is openly telling & showing & actually practicing its bias as blatant as blatant goes. Yet we still have people (or rather extremely poor versions of) who either through sheer stupidity, arrogance or total lack of understanding anything, keep talking themselves into the impossibility of multiculturalism actually working ! They're either too stupid or complicit in the waiting game started a thousand years ago & gaining ground ! Gaddafi told the World openly yet the idiot Western mentality refuses to comprehend ! Its Academia has been bought off short-term to ensure a long-term result. Academic infiltrated Governments are falling over each other to join the rush towards the cliff ! At first in Australia, it was only Labor but now Liberal, Greens & Teals have been dumbed-down enough to follow !

Hi AC,

About culture, Here is some irony, If our little band of Anglo-Celtic OLO warriors had a time machine, ttbn can be working the controls, and transported themselves back to the year 1000AD in the land of the Anglo-Celts, how would they be received by the locals. Not speaking the language, looking different, not dressing in the fashion, their failure to follow protocols and practices, don't like the loal tucker, etc. Me thinks their Anglo-Celtic ancestors would murder them in 5 minutes, and serve em' up for dinner that night.

p/s Although they might let ttbn off the hook, when they realise, "Se ieldrafæder cwom"...translation; "grandpa's arrived"!

Despite the talk of immigrants doing bum wiping that locals supposedly don't want to do, the vacancies in health care and social assistance are 90% higher than before Covid.

It's lies, lies, and more lies on immigration from Labor.

The Japanese, who don't do immigration, but have some of the longest lives in the world, would be amazed to know that Australians can't wipe their own arses, and need “skilled” immigration to do it for them. A significant chunk of immigrants are a net drain on Australian taxpayers.

Many of these immigrants are living here indefinitely on “temporary” visas.

As for ‘skills’, less than half the immigrants were still working in the occupation that got them entry, one year later, according to the Grattan Institute.

“The greatest mystery is why this economically damaging system built on the myth of skills has carried on for so long”.

The Grattan Institute had this to say in their report on points testing within the 'skilled' Migration Program. Despite the derogatory remarks from the resident racists; "immigrants doing bum wiping" Most likely at that stage and needs it, claims he's an octogenarian.

"Migrants contribute greatly to Australia’s prosperity. Migration has
shaped Australia’s diverse, highly-educated and cohesive society.
Skilled migrants in particular lift the productivity of local workers, raising
Australians’ incomes. And each permanent skilled visa-holder boosts
Australian government budgets by $250,000 over their lifetimes, or
about $34 billion for each annual intake, as they pay more in taxes than
they receive in public services and benefits over their lifetimes."

Countries are not fundamentally transformed by people without power. They are transformed by the people who possess it.

The powerful are unelected bureaucrats, not politicians who come and go. The bureaucrats are always there.

Anyone who reads ‘Origins of Multiculturalism” by Mark Lopez will know what I mean.

There are also universities, corporations, professional associations and media.

All of these people and things remain free from public voter control.

The only role governments play is not pulling these people and organisations into line, and failing to listen to people.

As Damien Costas (‘I want my country back! Who took it ….?’) writes, “ It's not who lives here. It's who governs here”. And, “ …. countries are not lost at the border. They are lost inside the institutions that gradually forget who they were created to serve”

I don't think it's so much that the "institutions that gradually forget who they were created to serve" but more that the institutions hiring and surviving processes are successively modified so that people having political views outside of Woke Marxism are weeded out of the institutions in spite of the views of the community. I find that the courts lead more than follow the views of the community in the name of "good principles". There are no good principles, principles aren't objective, they serve ideology, and when ideology disconnects with the community it means a loss of mandate and tyranny.

From AI-

The tension.. foundational debate in political philosophy and sociology: institutions drift over time, or whether they are systematically captured by ideology through hiring, promotion, and institutional gatekeeping.When institutions—particularly the judiciary—prioritise abstract philosophical principles over the immediate, democratic will of the community, it often sparks intense debates about institutional legitimacy, separation of powers, and risk of ideological tyranny.Institutional Selection vs. Institutional Drift- Observation distinguishes between two theories of institutional change:Institutional Drift: organizations gradually lose their original focus because society changes around them, or because they lack clear, updated guidance.Institutional Capture: The mechanism you highlighted, where an organization's internal processes (hiring, vetting, and professional advancement) are altered. This creates an ideological echo chamber, systematically filtering out dissenting viewpoints regardless of public sentiment.The Role of the Courts: Leading vs. Following. Relationship between the judiciary and public opinion is a central dilemma in constitutional law:The Counter-Majoritarian Difficulty: Courts are intentionally designed to be insulated from short-term public opinion to protect minority rights and uphold the rule of law. However, when courts consistently hand down rulings that clash with deep-seated community values, it can lead to a "crisis of mandate," eroding public trust in the legal system.The Nature of Legal Principles: Legal realists and critical legal theorists echo your point that legal principles are rarely completely neutral or objective. Instead, they argue that laws and principles are frequently interpreted through the lens of dominant cultural and political ideologies, serving to legitimise the power of whoever holds institutional control.

From "The Mask of Zorro"

INT. CUARTEL - DAY
The Cuartel is in the midst of reconstruction. Alejandro is
shoved into a chair at a desk. Love sits across from him. A water
pitcher and two glasses are before him.
LOVE
I know your secret.
ALEJANDRO
Would you care to share it with
me?Love takes one of the glasses, but ignores the wine. He fills it
from a container in his desk drawer, out of sight from Alejandro.
LOVE
Did you know that ancient warriors
would cannibalize their slain
enemies? In order to absorb their
essence. Their eyes, in
particular, were most sought
after. To see through the eyes of
an enemy was a valuable thing.
Love sips from his glass, regards Alejandro with hooded eyes.
LOVE (CONT'D)
And it's in a man's eyes that you
can find the true measure of his
soul.
(takes another sip)
Where are my manners? Would you
care for a drink?
Love brings the container up suddenly and shoves it across the
table. It rotates as it slides --
-- Alejandro is looking at the pickled HEAD of JOAQUIN MURIETTA.
In the jar, the lid off.
Alejandro is startled -- but that's all. No anger in his eyes.

Love slides a second, smaller jar forward. It contains
THREE-FINGERED JACK'S three-fingered hand.
ALEJANDRO
Interesting taste you have.
(nods at Joaquin)
Who was he? An irate husband,
maybe?
84.
CONTINUED:
LOVE
An enemy. He has a brother out
there somewhere. Who will share
his fate.
Alejandro remains unfazed. In fact --
ALEJANDRO
Well, I wish you luck.-- he picks up the jar containing Joaquin's head.
ALEJANDRO
To your health.
-- and DRINKS BRINE from it. His eyes never leave Love's. Love
narrows his eyes at him.
LOVE
You may not be Murietta's brother
-- but you are more than you
pretend to be.
ALEJANDRO
Am I? Maybe someday I'll see what
I look like through your eyes,

Hi Kudos Kid,

I don't know what that last couple of postings of yours are about, I didn't read them as they appear to be too long and irrelevant in anyway to this discussion. Zorro! Maybe as the saying goes; "That's what drugs do to you."

As for your continual referencing Woke Marxists, I think its a good term, particularly the Woke part, not a big fan of Marxism myself, that's neither here nor there. With few people in Australia identifying as Marxists YOU try to stigmatise progressive thinking people as left wing Marxists.

Given what is going on behind the scenes plus, upfront, the disgraceful unelected judges "finding" implications that don't exist, there would be more people than our friend Diver Dan thinking that voting is a waste of time.

When Communist unions start putting in their oars on immigration - something that they used to be very suspicious of because of its threat to wages - we have to include that, as uniparty is looking for votes, the unions are looking for members.

Politics in Australia is all about politics completely divorced from the good of the country and is people.

Australia will fall like the rest of the West, and the barbarians will take over.

The idiot Angus Taylor is now ranting against One Nation instead of the Labor Party. What is wrong with the bloody stupid man? Does he really want Albanese's awful government to get another term! I think he does. It's still a cushy number in opposition. No blame. Just slag off the government occasionally, and sit back grinning.

Senator Alex Antic, one of the very few Liberals worth anything to the country, has called out Taylor's attack on One Nation, saying that he should be focusing on defeating the Albanese government. After all, it's his only job as Opposition leader.

Antic disagrees with his apparently incompetent, wet leader who said that a ON government would bring an “eternity of pain”

WTF does Taylor think that the Albanese government has been doing for the last four years? If Taylor wants to fight anyone but the government, he needs to get out of politics - like his predecessor - and go back to the real job he was doing before he became just another dangerous, egotistical politician.

Unlike Antic, Taylor has not grasped that he should be trying to oust the Albanese government to save the country, and trying to recover from the mess Albanese has delivered - the greatest dip in living standards in the Western world, just for starters.

Tragically, like all Liberal leaders since John Howard and, perhaps Tony Abbott, Taylor just doesn't get the fact that the right side of politics needs to work together.

Hasbeen, John Howard, only the second PM in Australian history to lose his own seat, has also slapped Pauline Hanson down, and said he isn't interested in cultures, and we (meaning himself) opened up to all people and they came, and it's wonderful.

The fool is “comfortable” he said, with ‘all these people’ from overseas, forgetting what he used to think, and also forgetting that the Chinese voters in his electorate kicked him out of his own seat in 2007. Then he started banging on about European immigrants who came here after World War 2, apparently not knowing yet about the Indians, Chinese and Muslims of whatever nationality flooding in now.

The Liberals, old and new, talk the same bullsh.t as the Laborites when they are in their own huddles, away from cameras, thinking their bullsh.t wont reach the population that they hold in contempt. In his dotage, Howard doesn't know that he is now saying the opposite to what he used to say to get votes.

The Liberals need to be put at the bottom of the ballot paper with Labor and the Greens, where they belong these days.

The one about Indians wiping Australian's bums is just another iffy excuse for mass immigration. What needs to be talked about, after the the PM's and the Victorian premier's sickening grinning and cringeing at the show for 40 thousands Indians and the Indian PM, is the way that they are kissing Indians bums.

Multiculturalism has certainly increased antisemitism in Australia, where the Israeli ambassador to the country has said that he has served in Muslim countries where there is less antisemitism than there is here in Australia.

Another one of the spastic Israelis living in their own bubble completely absent of the fact they murdered hundreds of thousands of women and kids and he's like 'people don't love us'.

Of course he would say that.
boohoo, have a box of tissues
the RC is just a big cry-fest too

These morons need a reality check.
If you don't like our country go somewhere else.
I'm sick of their endless battle against the world, and their constant whinging about everything.

You don't get to bomb the shite out of women and kids and scream 'its not fair were victims!' 'Why do people hate us'.

Just shut up already

AC would say that, being the disgusting antisemite and Israel-hater that he is. Strangely, he uses the adverb 'already', just as Jews do. He is as nasty and dumb as Number 1405.

Despite the opposition to multiculturalism from about 70% of Australians, and One Nation, the Labor party conference in Adelaide intends to double down on it, and ‘promote’ it even harder. They will also declare the ‘pride’ they have in their division of the country, and “the symbols of First Nations people, including the Aboriginal flag and the Torres Strait Islander Flag”. They will ‘recognise’ “the importance of welcome to country and acknowledgement of country ceremonies, as opportunities to show respect to First Nations people”.

Most people don't respect people just because they belong to a certain group, race, colour or creed; but the divisive nutjobs in Labor do - or say they do. They even talked to Modi, who looks down on anyone not Hindu, into saying the silly words through gritted teeth.

Not only do they spend most of their time defending multiculturalism, they spend huge amounts of our money on it.

Once the champion of the worker and the oppressed, Labor is now a bunch of elitist, divisive pricks. To be fair, Liberals and Nationals are something very similar, too stupid to know that rubbishing One Nation instead of Labor - the actual government they claim to want to oust - is not being well received.

The ISIS brides raised the stupidity and danger of multiculturalism to uproar level again.

Now, Tony Burke is saying that it would be “difficult” to prevent 13 male ISIS associates from returning to Australia.

The 13 are held in an Iraqi prison, suspected of being fighters, and not the “cooks” that all of the inmates in that prison have claimed to be. Even if that were true, they would have still been assisting the Islamic state.

Legal requirements would make blocking their return to Australia “challenging”, according to Burke. More challenging than legally stopping them from leaving Australia in the first place to assist terrorism?

And then - again - there was that Labor lie about not assisting them, just like the lie about the so-called brides.

They, like the females, could/ could have been barred from coming back here, but the repetition of the lie, day after day, that citizens could not be refused re-entry, convinced gullible Australians that it was true; typical of authoritarianism and a cowered population. D.E.F.A.T has covered for the Albanese government by refusing requests to see documents that they admit do exist.

Support for multiculturalism in Australia, given the rampant antisemitism in the country, is the epitome of hypocrisy.

An Australian Jew who recently visited Israel was asked about his safety, as Jew, in Australia. His interlocutors, subjected to the constant threat of Islamic terror in Israel, were more concerned about the threat to Jews in Australia.

Some gasping Indians told the cameras how good Modi is and how good he is for India. Why are they living in Australia then! If he is good, and he made India good, they could return to India to do the jobs Albanese is outsourcing to that country.

Only Spectator Australia among all the media tells the truth, about Modi, over whom Albanese fawned; the magazine refers to Modi as, “a Hindu rabble rouser”, “authoritarian” and an “elected dictator”, with Albanese his “fanboy”, flogging uranium to him to improve India's economy, while impoverishing Australia's economy by not using it here.

The Albanese government's doubling down on multiculturalism, and sucking up to the swarms of incompatible immigrants they are bringing in, and holding a political rally on Australian soil for a foreign politician (Modi) shows just how out of touch they are with most Australians.

Well, it's Albanese himself, really, who is out of touch; the rest of the government is just a chorus to his song and dance routine.

He refers to the right of politics as an “axis of grievance”, lacking the self-awareness to realise that the grievances are about/against himself. And the state that Australia is in, after 4 years of his far-Left incompetence, fully justifies the general feeling of grievance.

Albanese doesn't have a clue.

In the twelve months to May 2026, net permanent and long-term arrivals were 483,410, the highest twelve months to May on record.

Unprecedented numbers of overseas arrivals are flooding into Australia, which is causing Australians to become poorer, and our society to become more divided.

For the past 30 years, Australian politicians have merely managed the country's steady decline. Australian citizens have been complacent.

Mass immigration and multiculturalism has seen the worst types of people, with their ancient hatreds and cultures, allowed to come here.

The institutions of democracy are still in place, but they have been abused and misused. They could be resurrected; but we don't have the right people in the uniparty to achieve that. Their hysteria and lies about the first real threat they have ever faced, One Nation, indicates that they are not interested in changing. Even right wing commentators like Andrew Bolt are carping on about the word ‘monoculture’, which he arrogantly presumes Australians don't understand. He also displays shock at Pauline Hanson's meeting in the UK with Tommy Robinson. Robinson is not much chop, if media reporting is correct; but he is not some sort of disease that Hanson will catch. We know what she stands for; it's what she has stood for over the last 30 years since the rest of the political class has been letting Australians and their country down.

Global monitoring shows that there is an alarming spike in antisemitism in Australia, along with physical violence against Jews and their property; worse than in comparable countries, and 5 times worse than J7 countries.

Antisemitism is deeply entrenched in Australian universities.

Dr. David Adler, former president of the Australian Jewish Association has moved to Israel.

Born in Melbourne, a fair dinkum Aussie, he has left his own country because of the surge of antisemitism in an Australia he no longer recognises. He never expected to see the antisemitism and violence towards Jews that now occurs in the country of his birth; nor the violence and hatred directed at Australia itself, and against the values on which Western civilisation is built.

The current president of the AJA says that he is speaking to an increasing number of Jewish Australians who are thinking about emigrating to Israel because they no longer feel safe in their own country. “Antisemitism has reached “historic highs under the Albanese government”.

And Australia might not be unsafe for Jews alone, with recent warnings that hostiles, including Iran, are ‘allegedly targeting teenagers for paid acts of violence. This type of action is what is already occurring in Europe.

Online games are reportedly used for recruiting young Australians. Attacks on synagogues, Jewish property have already been undertaken by local criminal gangs. The freedoms of the West , lack of serious law enforcement, can easily be weaponised by terrorists.

Indyvidual,

It's not really the same thing. White people are among the biggest antisemites; and Jews are better treated and respected in many Muslim countries - much more than they are in Australia and similar Western countries.

Whites are hated mainly by other whites who hate themselves as they have been taught to.

It has often been said that, when "they" wipe out the Jews, they will come for "us". But it is our own people who will wipe us out. Just think of our current government, the bureaucrats, the Left wing media, the education system.

MALCOLM ROBERTS the extreme right wing ONE NATION senator has been exposed as peddling antisemitic conspiracy theories. Roberts claims he would not rule out that the Bondi attack was not a 'false flag'. Roberts is a great one for peddling conspiracy theories, he thinks Covid was a myth, perpetrated by the Communists. Also Roberts posted antisemitic rubbish on Facebook, a posts where he praised an antisemitic Illuminati caricature of Jewish figures controlling global finance, describing it as "the most powerful pic I've ever seen".

Meanwhile The Lovely Pauline is cavorting in style around an Italian five star resort with her bestest friend Gina Rhinoceros. Of course this is "work" as I'm sure the pair are thinking of the little people and battlers way back there in Australia, wishing they could be with them!

Some clowns think we should vote for these grubs!

Councils are reporting growing pressure from Home Affairs to speed up citizenship ceremonies while immigrants are apt to vote for the party that is allowing swarms of them in. There are 300,000 of these immigrants in the backlog waiting to thank Labor for letting them in. Burke puts out instructions to hold ceremonies when he is available to remind the immigrants to whom they should be grateful for getting a cushy new start in the welfare state of Australia. Most of them have dumped themselves in areas where Labor is fighting to keep seats.

In the past, Burke has had a reputation of not inviting non-Labor politicians to citizenship ceremonies. One such politician, Dai Lei independent members for Fowler, has accused Burke of turning citizenship ceremonies into campaign events.

Jacinta Price, for the second time, has accused Albanese Labor of using multiculturalism to get votes. This seems to be borne out by research revealing that 85% of Indians vote Labor. Then there are the Muslims, the Africans, Chinese and misfits from all over the world.

Price is wasted on the Liberals. One Nation is the place for her - in a future leadership role.

Despite the slump in the ON vote, reportedly due to PH's tour of Luton with Tommy Robinson, and something weird said by Malcolm Roberts, 51% of us believe we have been made poorer and weaker by Albanese.

Three interest rate rises this year and a fourth coming. There is no reason to think that the CPI will improve under Labor.

There is nothing for ON to worry about two years away from an election.

There is nothing like a good old Redneck poll to tell us how the "misfits" vote. WHAT POLL WAS THAT? If 85% of Indians vote Labor, and since it takes a minimum of four years to become an Australian citizen then it must have been the Morrison government that brought in all the misfit Labor voters. I would not be surprised how migrants vote, with the alternative being a bunch of navel-gazers from the Coalition, or red necked bigoted racists from One Nation. 15% of Indian voters must be crazy!

What we need is skilled productive people who can contribute to Australia, not old fart geriatrics who add nothing, and are along for the free ride with their snouts well and truly fixed in the aged welfare trough!

Hi Indy,

"Australia definitely doesn't need any more weapon-wielding, old people bashing, rapists on welfare !"

That applies to all Australians, including native born, indigenous, migrants and visitors. Through their bigoted racism, there are some in society who want to stereotype certain minorities as exactly that, when the truth is the majority are nothing like that.

Strange how you got in, now you want to exclude others from getting in! Maybe we should have stereotyped you as above, and excluded you, assuming you were a weapon-wielding, old people bashing rapists wanting welfare. All based on you ethnic background.

You should know by now that you are only encouraging 1405 every time you react to what the dreadful creature says. He is a left wing lunatic who is only here to abuse and insult everyone who is not as twisted as he is - and that's most posters, including the left-leaning. Never again will I waste my time reading his crap, nor trying to find a glimmer of decency in him. There is nothing there.

He hates old people - even though he is one himself; he's got a chip on his shoulder because his wife is not white, so everyone is a 'racist'. He is of no use to anyone or anything. He is sick.

Michael Baume, 96 years old, ex Liberal politician, and still writing for Spectator Australia, writes this week about the “mounting threats” to Australia. Our descendants are likely to inherit a far more authoritarian Australia unless the current trends are reversed.

In his day, democracy was alive and well: “before multiculturalism became an instrument of division rather than unification”.

Before that, we prospered; had equal opportunity to receive rewards for aspiration, and a needs-based social security system. Governments did not spend beyond their means. We lived with pride and patriotism - before children were taught to “hate our history”, and our achievements were downgraded by extremists.

Now, very few Australians trust politicians, and a majority regard them as “untrustworthy”. Maintenance of a democratic system is becoming difficult. We are in the throes of our own “self-demolition” (the entire West) as young people are taught that their civilisation is hateful.

Another old timer, still with his marbles and able to contribute, is 88 year old Professor David Flint, who points out in the same publication in the same week that “One Nation is not the (Liberals’) enemy”.

Angus Taylor and the whipper-snapper Hastie and all the wets, don't understand this, criticising ON non-stop when their job is to unseat their real enemy (and ours) the Albanese government: worst government ever, worst Prime Minister ever, responsible for where we are now - in the crap. Not to mention Albanese's appalling disrespect towards women, including the leader of our best ally in the region, Japan.

That donations to the ‘Fire the Liar’ campaign have now reached $5 million in mainly small amounts from lots of people, indicates that lots of people are not expecting the Coalition to save them from the Socialists.

Big on divide and conquer, Albanese is using not only multiculturalism to achieve that end, but he is also driving groups further apart with his “intergenerational equity” nonsense; lying about building houses, and exacerbating the housing problem - and the lowered per capita GDP - with continued mass immigration that he and his crony Burke lie that is decreasing.

Albanese is now after the $4 trillion superannuation that belongs to members, not the government; and he also wants centralised, government control over data centres.

Flint, once a lecturer in Constitutional Law writes that, “In a functioning Westminster parliamentary system, the depths to which the Albanese government has fallen would have inevitably led to a withdrawal of confidence by the House of Representatives”.

But, the Westminster system no longer works in Australia. Thanks to the two party system, and the Coalition being forced to copy Labor’s tricks to survive. This ensures that both parties can “walk the country off a cliff” without a Parliamentary revolt.

If Taylor keeps attacking One Nation, and because of our preference system, we will have another term of the worst government ever, with an even cockier, worse than ever, Albanese.

Does anyone still upright and breathing take any notice of the rantings in a far right online blurb of a couple of old geriatrics, whose opinions are straight out of last century. I suppose other old farts might pay to read what they have to say. The vast majority of Australians have never heard of the pair of Methuselah's, Baume & Flint.

Hanson addressed a vast crowd of about 50 people in a 90% empty theatre in London. Raving on with her usual unsubstantiated racists comments, while running down Australia at the same time.

What Hanson wont say, is whose pocket she's in that's paying for all this extravagant cavorting around Europe. Is it the mugs who kicked in to her online cash grab? Or could it be some rich old tart from back home.

As I say, Labor and Liberal don't have to give Hanson any rope, she's doing a great job of hanging herself, all on her own.
