Banjo here is something you can campaign on;

(1) Kaparot is a traditional Jewish religious ritual that takes place around the time of the High Holidays. Classically, it is performed by grasping a live chicken by the shoulder blades and moving around one’s head three times, transferring one’s sins to the chicken. The chicken is then slaughtered and eaten.

(2) Christians are nailed to crosses in a grim Good Friday reenactment of Jesus's suffering. Thousands of people watch as devoted Catholics are crucified in this gruesome annual ritual.

Would not be a good look in Hyde Park Sydney, although the chickens think its better than number 1.

"Multiculturalism is a government policy that many Australians support"

When was that policy ever put to a popular vote?

Diversity as well, when will it be put to a vote?

Why is it that Australia has to be diverse? Who benefits and how?

I am not arguing against reasonable migration numbers. But it should not be necessary to lie about the alleged benefits. It is fair enough for the electorate to expect answers on:

1. What is the impact of immigration on our population and quality of life?

2. Why do we need a higher population, and if there is a consensus a higher population is needed, what is the optimal growth per annum to avoid social problems and what is the optimal population of Australia?

You don't have to look over anyone else's fence when molestation of children and child marriage are common in aboriginal communities, and in cities too.

When will the Australia multicultural policy put the rights of aboriginal children ahead of cultural rights? There should be one law protecting all children.

paul,
Heres a better question for you.

Why do we prosecute people for holding cockfights and turn a blind eye to the cutting pieces of flesh off little girls genitals. We also do nothing about the estimated 1000 forced marriages per year.

Do you put cruelty of roosters ahead of cruelty to little girls?

You seem happy with the current situation.

Belly, I can assure you the vast majority of Australians from backgrounds that traditionally practice forced marriages, do not support that practice in Australia. Like many practices that may have been seen as 'good' in another place at another time, there is no place for that here in Australia.
Like you and the vast majority of Australians I do not support cultural practices that are in defiance of Australian law.
The most vocal in support of women's rights in this country are those of the so called left. You being a man of history know that it was the conservatives in society who have always opposed the rights of women, indeed they oppose the rights of all to equality in society, seeing themselves as have a divine right to rule.
