Dear SPQR,
I had expressed the following hope; “Dear SPQR, I love it when I bring this up because you lot bleat about the Refugee Council but never offer anything up yourselves. I just know mate that you are the one who is going to change that. You are going to put an official definition to counter that of the Council rather than pluck one out of your arse as is normal practice from your side.” But I got nothing. Which is of course rather sad because it really only leaves one question, are you an arse plucker? Dear Shadow minister, Making it up again I see. Please show me an official government website where the department refers to those arriving by boat collectively as 'illegal immigrants'. Dear Banjo, In my line of work the capacity to hack someone else's computer is not beyond my skill set but even when you post links to files on your personal hard drive without your IP address I am a little hampered. Dear individual, You wrote; “it also refers to any who support and assist the criminal activity” and of course my mind immediately leapt to you referring to 8 year olds leading a convicted sex offender on for the money. Your credibility had always been pretty shaky but now you have none, zilch. It is going to be terribly hard for you to make any credible points on this forum in the future. Retract.

Of course the Muslims and other ethnic groups here are in favour
of bringing in as many of their own kind as they can, the Tamils included. The truth be told, they would like to ship all us Anglos and Aboriginals and other ethnic groups out of the place and bring as many of their own in to replace the other groups. Now isn’t that the truth deep down, admit it you lot. This is the hidden racist agenda behind this support the asylum people cry. It is dressed up as, “we are the people doing good.” The amazing thing is they twist it around as though us not bringing them in is the immoral agenda. Not facing their own deep down twisted human self-interest reasons Speaking of Goebbels, Foxy, Hitler said, He wanted, “ A German State, world wide, populated with the blonde German ideal of people, preferrably”. Notice the similarity, when the Muslims say, “We want a Muslim state, worldwide.”. I doubt whether they are talking about religion when they say Muslim state but are instead talking about their bloodline in the same way Hitler was. The two statements are too similar to not mean the same thing, I think. Human beings being too similar in what they covet for it not to mean the same thing also. Don’t forget Germany was a dual-cultural country , and when the bottom dropped out of the economy after the Great Depression,, one side of the dual- cultural country turned on the other ethnic group. Again, doesn’t bode well for dual-cultural or multi-cultural societies. History is the teacher of what the future holds. It’s a shame humans haven’t learnt and understood the true lesson of what happened in Germany. They think they can change it by social engineering. Might as well try and catch the wind.

Cherful,
"Of course the Muslims and other ethnic groups here are in favour of bringing in as many of their own kind as they can, the Tamils included.

And speaking of Goebbels....I see this govt has taken a few pages out of his book on repeating simplistic slogans ad nauseam until the population are well and truly brainwashed by them. "He openly acknowledged that he was exploiting the lowest instincts of the German people – racism, xenophobia, class envy and insecurity. He could, he said, play the popular will like a piano, leading the masses wherever he wanted them to go." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Goebbels Posted by Poirot, Saturday, 12 July 2014 9:38:26 PM

I'm an "Anglo"
Poirot, Yes, & pretty strange one at that. I guess you're one of those educated ones, the ones who sell the house so that they can afford nicer furniture ? Posted by individual, Saturday, 12 July 2014 9:54:01 PM

I'm an educated, Aussie born 'Anglo', Individual, and proud of it.
I just don't feel the need to act superior to other races or cultures in order to feel better about myself. You might want to try it yourself... Posted by Suseonline, Sunday, 13 July 2014 1:41:59 AM

"t was 8.35am on Wednesday and the locally engaged staff member at the Australian High Commission in Colombo whose job was to take media calls that morning was asked a simple question: What time was Scott Morrison attending the launch of the two patrol boats?"
"That Mr Morrison was frantically looking for a friendly government to accept 153 refugees being held at sea by the Australian government made the visit especially topical.
"Can I put you on hold?" said the man at the High Commission. A few minutes later, he came back and said: "We don't have any details at all about the minister's visit to Sri Lanka. We are not handling it. It has nothing to do with us."
Do you know if the High Commissioner Robyn Mudie is attending the event? After several minutes more on hold, the man came back with an answer: "No," he said. "We are not handling the minister's visit."
"The Sri Lankans were much more helpful, and half an hour later Sri Lankan officials were offering shade and refreshments on the docks at a Colombo naval base ahead of the event scheduled to start at 10am. The place was crawling with Australian officials, of course, who did their best to glare and look daggers whenever a journalist came within three metres."
""I'm with the High Commission," said one man wearing dark glasses. He didn't have a name. "I'm Nadia," said another fretful official. "I'm with Immigration," she said, nearly breaking into a canter to get away."
Dodge-o-rama!
