I forecast that a time in the not too far future that these mad lefty
trendies will want to outlaw naturalisation ceremonies altogether and
swear allegiance to the UN or some other way out organisation.

The UN is already rewriting history.
The councils that are being refused the right to hold citizenship
ceremonies will get together and hold their lefty allegiance ceremonies.

Dear Cossomby,

Well put.

I have recently had occasion to examine in more depth the history of white settlement in our local area in Victoria. Purely from reading the newspaper reports of the time the sense of just how devastated the indigenous population was. Entire tribes totally wiped out within a lifetime. In one case the final remaining male would wander the streets wailing “I am the last of my tribe, I am the last of my tribe”, this from an original group of over 250.

This is why I so detest the flippancy of those who claim that this country's indigenous population was far better off because white settlement. If by better off they mean wiped out then what a terrible position to take. Otherwise it is just pig ignorance that would allow such a claim. Writers 150 years ago were lamenting what was being done to aboriginals around our settlements. To those who say it is all just a black armband view of history please go and educate yourselves and if you don't want to then go shut the hell up.

I fully support a more inclusive date to celebrate this nation.

Typical Greens *bleep* stirring and wasting ratepayers' money on Greens self-promotion and electoral publicity.

What about these Greens dominated councils doing something practical? Such as shared community housing. No creativity or leadership being shown there

Nope, just the usual wedge-driving protest party stuff that Julia Gillard complained about when she tried to work with the treacherous Greens.

leoj; they could all go and "work" with you, wheeling and dealing in the property market, land deals for out of towners and city slickers alike, at double the normal price! Like the good old days when your other ego onthebeach was in his prime on that Gold Coast strip, or wherever it was he hung out, white shoes and all, come in sucker... "have I got a deal for you!".

What about those *bleep*stirring Greens Councillors eschew their predilection for social engineering and instead, engineer some solutions such as group housing?

Y'know, try to help people to get along and perhaps to even grow a few nature strip gardens?

But those Greens don't have ideas of their own and they certainly don't want to be bothering themselves with any hard work.

That is why outfits like the NSW Greens 'Eastern Bloc' , the Trots, are constantly undermining efforts by leader Richard Di Natale for Greens to dump the serial protesting and do something positive for a change.

Greens don't share Australian values, says Julia Gillard
Phillip Hudson, HeraldSun

THE Greens do not share the values of everyday Australians and don't understand the importance of a strong economy, says Julia Gillard.
..
Ms Gillard said the Greens had some worthy ideas and good intentions but were only a protest party.
..
"The Greens will never embrace Labor's delight at sharing the values of everyday Australians, in our cities, suburbs, towns and bush, who day after day do the right thing, leading purposeful and dignified lives, driven by love of family and nation,'' she said.

"The differences between Labor and the Greens take many forms but at the bottom of it are two vital ones. The Greens wrongly reject the moral imperative to a strong economy.

Julia Gillard was being diplomatic to the treacherous Greens political elite who are being denounced by Greens politicians themselves for 'mushrooming' Greens members and feeding them *bleep*. NOT a party that practises internal democracy at all, far from it!

Bazz,

Good comments on the UN. That corrupt organisation is preparing to be a world government. It's run by Third World despots and socialists. We should shed all connections with it.
