Back to the Anthem,

I like Peter Allens, "I still call Australia Home"

Or
"Tenterfield Traveller" re written to suit.

I like the line in "Tenterfield Traveller,",where it says,
I can see kangaroo up ahead.

Dear CHERFUL,

No matter what the anthem is it now has to be presented to a bilingual country: English and Chinese.

Mr Opinion,

"Time will tell. And I bet I'm correct in my predictions."
We all know you do. But what I can't understand is why:
Why do you ignore all your training in socio cultural analysis and instead believe racist paranoia?
Why do you assume Chinese Australians, unlike other migrant groups, will retain a primary loyalty to their ancestral home? And why do you assume they will support the Chinese Communist Party?

"The warning signs are there and the problem is that you lot cannot read the writing on the wall."
The warninng signs are imaginary and what you perceive as the writing on the wall is merely a smudge on your glasses!

Dear Aidan,

If you want to know my reasons then I suggest you visit Sydney and spend a day walking around the city. PS It might pay to learn some basic Chinese before you come.

Hi Aidan,

"Why do you assume Chinese Australians, unlike other migrant groups, will retain a primary loyalty to their ancestral home? And why do you assume they will support the Chinese Communist Party?"

Possibly because their is a Ministry for Overseas Chinese in Beijing. Possibly because it is widely thought that the Chinese government sends out agents amongst 'students' and others.

Of course, Italian-Australians can vote - and stand for election - in Italians elections, so it's not unique.

Mr. Opinion,

You haven't heard of internment? Even my chemist and the old junk-mail deliverer will be locked up, even though they are not necessarily the 'enemy' you think they are. You are clearly not aware of what happens in times of war. And, we can deal with China, which is not as good as she thinks she is.

Suse,

There's not even enough room for dust bunnies under my bed, given the stuff my wife has jammed under it. 'Reds under the bed' is a bit Menzian. Seriously, China has designs on Japan, South Korea and Asia in general. It wants to take the No.1 spot from America, so
ANZUS will certainly be involved. You won't find this information in 'Woman's Day', of course.
