Pleased to read such a list, it's only taken a couple of hundred years though.
A test over the next few years will be the acceptance of Afghans and Sudanese as they clamber out of the dead end jobs and rise through the immigrant 'ladder of opportunity' (remember them?).
Did you see the Chinese story on ABC some weeks/months back (was it SBS?) of the Aussie son whose mother was sent back to China all the time, saved only by the war, she was forced to remain here for the 'duration' and finally 'something' changed. Was it the end of the WAP maybe?
True, that was before the murder you kicked off with.
I suppose glacial change is better than none, and for a somnambulunt population better than too rapid.
Our Baptist PM might say that 'we had the balance right' in her effort to offend no one.
Others might be inclined to think... 'this is Oz, what do you expect?'.
Having spent some time in the UK recently, our claims to be 'multi-cultural' here seem to be grandstanding compared to there, but never mind, we are at the back end of the world, or worse, as Keating suggested.
