Individual>> Sydney & Melbourne have been transformed to near the point of no return to a peaceful society because of those migrants.<<

Indi it is a law and order issue, and that extends to the wider community....a police presence is what is lacking along with a zero tolerance policy. If you look at the crime stats it is the disenfranchised youth of these immigrants that cause the problems, just as our youth that are over represented in the stats...more beat cops less crime.

sonofgloin,
I have said many times, if there aren't sufficient Police then engage military personnel & make them Police deputies at the drop of a hat. Anyone trying to sabotage law & Order by yelling Police State or Miltary State goes straight into detention. We can no longer afford this pussy footing with a handful of crap stirrers. If people don't want the very possible emergence of vigillanteism than they need to acquire some sense & work together rather than dispute everything for the sake of disputing. Become responsible ! demand that everyone does NS. Make NS an issue for the next election. Do nothing & cop the consequences but don't expect decent people to bail you out again & again. Do nothing & you're on your own.

OTB,
The person responsible for multicultural affairs is:-

Senator Concetta Fierranti-Wells.
The Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Social services.

Her responsibilities are Multicultural Affairs. Arrangement for settlement of migrants and humanitarian interests.

It is possible that you could get her budget for the coming year and/or expenditure for past year.

Most State governments used to have MC departments as well but may not now.

You may recall that the Howard government dropped the term multiculturalism and was phrasing MC out. Gillard raised MC a couple of times but it did not gain public support and was dropped. The current government has scalled MC further down. I expect MC to be completely abandoned after next election.

I did read somewhere that we spent $41 million last year on MC but do not know what that included.

Sonofgloin,

Unfortunately, MC and its associated ISM impinges on the way that crime is reported and remedied.

Banjo,
<< I expect MC to be completely abandoned after next election>>
I wish I had your faith . I think it is going to take a lot more than that to weed it out or our govt depts and school system. Too many careers depend on it.

SPQR,
One can always hope. I have been fighting against MC for 40 years and slowly the stupid polys have been getting the message that it divides us into tribes and does nothing to instil community cohesion. It simply costs us money and promotes the cultures of foreign countries. Immigrants were told they could carry on as they did in the old country and we would adapt to their ways. We, supposedly, had no culture according to the advocates. Remember the claim of 'Unity in Diversity'. Someone should tell that to the muslims and Sri Lankans and the Africans. Migrants should be assessed on what benefits we can get from them being here. Those that hold us in contempt should be told 'sorry our experience is that your mob don't fit, so no more'. Polys first obligation is to ensure a harmonious society.

6 years of Labor did nothing to promote interest in MC and the Abbott government has relegated MC to that of a Ministerial Secretary. There is every reason to hope it will officially disappear.

ORIGINS OF MAN "we all have to live some where?"

But they (immigrants) already did live somewhere.
Where? In a society/culture custom-made just for people like them.

The issue isn't that they must live "somewhere".
The issue is why must they live *here*, in Australia?

individual "We is the operative word here".

And "we" can be defined by *relationships* from direct kin (the McDonalds) to the tribe/nation (Australians) to an ethnic branch (Celtic) of an ancestral family (Europeans).

But there is no "we" on a species level.
There is no universal "relationship" that connects everyone.
There hasn't been for 60,000+ years.

"we all have to live some where"

Yes, Turks can live in Turkey.
Mexicans can live in Mexico.
Tongans can live in Tonga.

And Australians, the ethnic group, can live here.

And if *we* wish, some of our extended European family could too.
Because we have a *relationship* to them.

But the "relationship" ends with Europeans.
There is no meaningful "relationship" beyond them.

Only the Iranian and Indic peoples are distantly related to Europeans, but that connection was severed 6000 years ago.

"We" (Indo-Europeans) split in two; We became "We" (Europeans) and "They" (Indo-Iranians) and went our separate ways.

The only non-Europeans with any right to live here are the Aborigines.
And they have no "relationship" with anyone.
