Belly,
chrisgaff1000 found an smh ref to the NSW FGM case, so it has not been dropped. The cops have charged another as well.

Thanks Chris, I had lost track of that case as it had been adjourned several times. Look forward to the outcome.

Great news.
Thanks Chris and Banjo.
I had feared it was going to be another white wash.
Once in the hands of most magistrates and judges we see the revolving door syndrome and offenders walk away.

It is very, very poor that professionals were involved.

That raises two issues at least:

- firstly, as part of its extreme form of multiculturalism and through pressure from government funded pressure groups the federal government has leaned on professions such as medicine to lower the bar to allow more migrants with claimed equivalent training to establish their professional practises in Australia. Even where equivalent practical training can be claimed, there can remain doubts about imported attitudes and values that can easily be at odds with those of Australians. However the federal government would much prefer to find hospital placements for foreign medical students and bring in doctors from abroad than train our own brightest. For many years now the federal government, Labor and LNP alike, has limited the medical places available to young Australians and brought in many overseas doctors.

and

- secondly, annually the federal government is setting new records of immigration while Australian couples practice the responsible zero population growth that was strongly encouraged by academics and government from the Sixties on. Annually the feds bring in migrant numbers the equivalent of several large cities the size of (say) Rockhampton in Queensland.

As well as overtaxing the community to pay for the stretched infrastructure, examples being ramped up costs of housing, vehicle registration, power and water, the high numbers of immigrants and asylum seekers are ensuring that the previous prudent policy of not having too many from one cultural group brought in or located together has been forgotten. Worse, multiculturalists seem to think it is a good idea to have enclaves of ethnic groups. Remember Malcolm Fraser's huge mistake that is now a running sore of violence and drive-bye shootings in Sydney, which was once a peaceful city.

to be continued..

contd..

Breaking that rule where ethnic traditions and cultures are at odds with Australian values and laws risks what has eventuated in the subject case, where groups of like minded fundamentalists can easily band together to encourage one another, introduce foul traditions and operate without detection.

Similarly, it is how criminal gangs have become established in Australia which is continuing to happen, especially where immigration and security checks are not performed satisfactorily because floods of claimed refugees have overwhelmed the resources available.

The federal government's multicultural idealism and aim of a 'Big Australia, Now!' are concerning.

Banjo well what can I say?
Not a clew how we got so far from the theme but leave it at that.

Belly,

What you mean to say is that you are going to stick your head in the sand to avoid noticing the policies of the federal Labor government that contribute to the problem and could lead to the rapid growth of female cutting in Australia as in Europe.

The bleeding heart Left 'Progressives' who advise government are not so keen to ever be held accountable for their unintended consequences, are they?

Banjo has a point where better screening of migrants and so-called refugees are concerned.

Of course we are importing problems and no, it will not be just a first generation thing. Because some migrant groups are known to become even more fundamentalist in their adopted country that even their country of origin. That is how you get 'home grown' fundamentalist extremists, isn't it?
