Banjo,
I was discussing immigration with my Mum last night and the people who are normally blamed for the failure of multiculturalism and the destruction of the Australian nation, Menzies, Holt, Whitlam, Fraser and Hawke.
We concluded that these people really had no idea of the possible consequences of their actions because they had nothing with which to compare the new policies.
Immigrants aren't the problem, it's their children and particularly grandchildren who just become worse and worse and grow further apart from any form of culture or civilisation. This is the case in every country which has implemented racial replacement programmes.
We discussed the 2011 London riots where third generation Black youth went "Window shopping" and remembered the Brixton and Bradford riots which broke out in the 1970's and 80's when their parents were teenagers.
As I said, first generation Third World immigrants don't cause much trouble because they are mostly genuinely looking for a better life, their kids though start life in a completely different set of circumstances and they are a different ethnic group to both their parents and the other groups in society. Add to that the fact that there is no longer an Australian culture for anyone of any ethnic group to use as a framework for a blended identity and we go a long way to identifying why this country had reached it's peak in 1970 and has been on a downhill slide ever since.

Dear Banjo and Jay,
It must be hard living in a 1970's time warp ?

Try and enjoy life here and now....in the year 2014.
It isn't that bad.

Suse, Foxy,
Incorrect, it's people such as yourselves who are stuck in 1969, I live in 2014, it's just that I remember to remember, so to speak.
You're the ones still trumpeting the "Aussie" way of life, I say it no longer exists and have accepted the world we live in, that's the difference, you hold a set of beliefs about the world whereas I'm an atheist who only accepts what he observes around him.

Welcome back Joe/Loudmouth and thanks.
We tend to forget we are indeed one and that is something to be very proud of.

We have never been one, except during the two world wars.
The Depression years saw landlords force the unemployed from their homes and small business people from their rented premises rather than take a cut in their income.

The First Fleet was made up of people from many cultures and races.
The Irish, because of persecution, didn't like the English and the English in turn looked on the Irish with contempt and their attitude towards the Welsh and the Scots was only slightly less contemptuous, unless one had Money which almost, but not quite, made up for racial and religious differences.

Religion was a great divider with sharp divisions between Catholic and Protestant, even within families.
In the workplace the "No Catholic Need Apply" signs were not uncommon and I can remember job adds in the Sydney Morning Herald in the 1950s that stated "Protestants Only".
But the younger generations, were coming together and forgetting the divisions of the past until new divisions were thrust upon us and for which we will pay a far higher price than for any such in our past.
