How AUSTRALIAN!

Of course, creating jobs for native speakers of whom all qualifications are some speaking of native English might be used to please electorate’s request for employment in a home country is much more productive than developing Australia’s industries outside sex and gambling, by deploying non-UK-biologically-linked professionals who are anyway, according to redneck posts of Banjo & Co, in advance undesirable elements in this so-“humanly-advanced” society.

Really, a good idea is participating in this Australian NATIONAL Forum as it broadened a real understanding of "Aussie" mean stupidity, xenophobia and racism substantially.

Who is this MichaelK character? Is it really possible to write English that badly?

He hates us. It's a mystery to me why such creeps ever came here in the first place, let alone why they stay. Easy to get the dole, probably.

Go away and stay away you awful creature!

Thanks Banjo- I read the discussion paper.

I can’t help but finding it quite offensive that it is assumed by the government that immigrants would be less loyal to Australia than Australian citizens are.

The paper looks like a panic attack on paper. I’m not talking about racism; I think it’s the panicky paranoia about terrorism that made this paper appear.
If Howard wouldn’t have supported war crimes in the Middle East, Australia would not have to deal with a higher risk of terrorism in the first place.

Trying to keep terrorists out by having new immigrants sign up to Australian values is ineffective.
Any would-be terrorists are obviously going to lie about committing to the Australian values, unless terrorists do not lie.

Above all, Australian values are just general values - why does Australian govt pretend they own those values and call them Australian values?

I believe that learning English and learning basics about Australia for new immigrants is a positive thing and should be strongly encouraged (but the test should not be demanded).
But were those courses not already available to immigrants anyway?

Read what is said in the foreword of this discussion paper:
“Australia has been hugely successful at integrating millions of people with diverse backgrounds from over 200 countries, because, in the main, we have embraced and drawn from the wealth of that diversity, and we are all the richer for it.”

I agree, Australia has been successful! My question is: Why fix it if it isn’t broken?

Leigh,
MichealK may hve been born here, who knows? What amazes me is that he has a good vocabuary but seems unable to put it together to make a comprehendable sentence. Maybe English tutors have a name for it, but its the first I have come across.

He is trying though. I recognized such words as Bango, redneck, xenophobic, stupid and racist. Put together,I assume is not complementry.

Its often the case that multiculturalists fall back on personal racist slurs when confronted with lodical opposite argument. They are frustrated because their ideology has failed.

They need to take off their blinkers and rose coloured glasses and see the real world.

oh , I get it, multiculturalists are against racism and those against multiculturalism support racism in all its manifestations.

To anti multiculturalists here - Why not just get straight to the point and argue for the virtues of practicing racism instead of attacking those who are against racism. Go on, be brave for once, and stop hiding behind diagonal attacks at multiculturalists.

And what the hell is a "lodical opposite argument"?

I am wondering, Celvia, why your message distinguishing a highly appreciated knowledge of a basic Australian data with a mere racism-motivated compulsory test in English -verbal or any other, was met more friendly, than the same I'd wrote of "test and study".

To me, it is a next example of discriminatory approach to disputants in this particular case, where not WHAT was written but WHO had said is the most.

Surely, you are not acquainted with an already existing system of annihilating intelligence of newcomers upon English courses and so-called “Job Networks trainings”, not speaking of more…

This lack of reality is professionally used by paid for keeping non-Anglo-Saxes/Celts out of a work market where “English” has been presented as an issue for elementary segregation and traditional for UK colonies and metropoly herself apartheid well existing under “multicultural” covers.

Although linguistic skills are very much appreciated, they never ever substitute special knowledge, and a very notion, perfectly hidden from Mr. Australian Average, is a mere racist suggestion that LANGUAGE rather than SURROUNDING grounds mentality.

By a way, my posts have been checked by a computer used as mentioned already on these pages, to publishing writings both in this forum and in scientific and publicist sources worldwide, in Anglo-sphere inclusively, - just info for those who at the time had omitted this message, busy with exercising their HIGHER RACE usual burden of superiority towards non-“West-End” educated.

Bye for now.

A Happy New Year to comprehending a real world where Republic of England will start reforming her incomprehensible even for native speakers nearly-expired language not late than in 2008.
