Foxy,

Government policy may have been assimilation after 1945 but it didn't work, however it was not Government policy before that, witness the German speaking people in their settlements in South Australia, German is still spoken in some towns.
There were also, as said by the OP, Cornish settlements in South Australia and these became the last Cornish speaking places on Earth, as the language had died out in Cornwall, until the relatively recent revival.

Lachlan Macquarrie in NSW intended, at one stage, to make Irish Gaelic the second official language of the colony because so many of the people didn't speak any other language.

Australia has been multicultural since 1788 and was colonized by a multicultural country.

Fox, "The problems that exist in the UK do not affect us in Australia"

You are in denial that similar risks apply.

You are careful not to mention the sex trafficking of minors that has continued in Rotherham and other centres for many years and the recent official confirmation of a minimum of 1400 girls trafficked and introduced to hard drugs in Rotherham alone.

Of course the political correctness of multiculturalism and the involvement and complicity of politicians (Labor in the UK) that allowed the Rotherham abuses to occur could lead to similar problems in Australia, that is if it isn't already occurring.

Any competent risk analysis of immigration policy and administration should identify the risk of importing toxic political systems, beliefs, traditions and culture, and what treatments, proactive is best, are required.

Such risk analyses and proposed control systems should be conducted independently by a university and published for public information and comment. However it appears that regular assessment of the risks and treatments is not performed, but why not, what is preventing it form being done and the results published for public comment?

Another thing, where is the regular comprehensive audit of immigration policy and administration? Why not?

British and Australian governments are failing in their duty of care to the public they are supposed to be serving (not the other way around) by consistently failing to satisfactorily identify risks and by giving in to ethnic lobbyists promising support in marginal seats, instead of installing effective, robust controls. Such deals for preferences threaten the safety and way of life of all of society and should be regarded as corruption, which is what it is and proved by the secrecy that surround such back-door deals.

Dear Is Mise,

I have given you the facts and the sources from which
they were obtained. Go back and check them. I have
dealt with the Australian population and the origins of
multiculturalism. I see no point in repeating things
again for you.

otb,

All you need to do is Google "Australian Multiculturalism:
the Roots of its success." by Dr Sev Ozdowski.
It will explain the differences between our country,
Europe, and the UK, and why we don't have the problems
that they have. It is always best to do some research
and not make assumptions about people who are presenting
evidence and facts simply because you happen to disagree
with them. Bad habit to have and discourages communication.

Fox,

There is nothing in Australia's immigration program and administration that could prevent similar problems in Australia. If there is one, by all means go right ahead and inform everyone.

There is nothing to say that our policing is any better. That is if you are hoping for some reactive solution - but once problems are imported, policing is only trying to put a lid on it, with political pressure and inadequate resourcing always against police.

otb,

You need to read Dr Sev Ozdowski's -
"Australian multiculturalism - the roots of its
success."

It should clarify things for you.

We are all immigrants to Australia

Yes, but the original inhabitants, had achieved practically no
Advancement at all

It was the far superior European cultures at that time, that
Built the wonderful country we have today.

Not allowed to state that truth though are we.
Only the truth that we invaded .
Say it was all bush and scrub here when the Europeans arrived
And suddenly the truth isn't allowed to be stated.

It is the truth just as much as the invasion though.
The aboriginals only want the truth when it suits them.
