Wasn't Mr James BARNES in his earlier life, a drug taking Bankrupt who was once described by a R&R critic as not being able to hold a note ? The song 'I was only Nineteen' was considered offensive by many VV's, implying we were all a bunch of cry-babies, worse 'girl's blouses' ! Bluegum' or whatever their name was, didn't accurately reflect nor represent the true issues that confronted many Vietnam Veterans upon their repatriation back to Australia.

Paul,
Well I say congratulations to George Christensen for supporting and speaking at the Reclaim Australia rally. Also to Pauline Hanson for speaking at another rally and to Senator Cori Benardi for his statement of support.

Let us hope that their example of speaking out will encourage other politicians to voice their opposition to the failed ideology of multiculturalism and to put a stop to further Islam immigration.

I am told that 15% to 25% of muslims hold extreme views, so if we take and average of 20% that simply means there are about 100,000 muslims here that hold extreme views. That is far too many extremists for the safety of our citizens. We should encourage those that want to fight in Syria to go and not return. The more that are here the greater to risk of a catastrophy like occurred in London 10 years ago. The risks are far too high to be ignored.

Jay Of Melbourne,

I reckon you are correct in your assessment.

Where are all those countries that have successfully integrated their Muslim citizens?

C'mon there must be at least one country that has a successfully integrated Muslim minority.

IS Mise,
South Africa, they actually have more Muslims than France.

O Sung,
Yeah, well, my recollection of that "re connection" with Australian folklore and patriotism which began in the mid to late 60's and continued until the mid 1980's with acts like Redgum, Roaring Jack and even to an extent Midnight Oil is that it was mostly a ruse by the Maoist elements of the left.
They held to Mao's ideal of "natural socialism" in the Australian working class which could be activated by calling on the memory of class struggles past, Eureka, the shearers strikes, the lean years and hardships of pioneering, the great depression etc.
When I was growing up "right wingers" wouldn't have been seen dead at a Bushwhackers concert or a bush poetry reading, the highlights of their year were the debutante ball, the agricultural show and the annual Gilbert and Sullivan or Oscar Wilde production by the drama club.
I've tried to point out to the UPF and Reclaim followers on Facebook that most of their ideals of patriotism came from the Little Red Book as interpreted by the authors of the Kalkadoon press, but they don't want to hear about it.
