Dear Paul,

Thank You for your acknowledgement and understanding
of those difficult times that not only my family
but - so many went through.
The initial two-year contracts were my parents first
major contribution to Australia. They helped to solve
an acute labour shortage in Australia, especially in
outlying areas. I won't go into all the details of
their contribution to this country or of what this
country did for them - suffice to say
it was significant at a time when Australia and they needed
it most. And of course this contribution continues by
all of us who were born here today - and will continue to
do so - by our children and grand-children - all of whom now
proudly call Australia - home.

Whoever you may be;

For those that want to bring us down, I denounce your agenda.

Satisfied with that individual.

The post war contribution made to Australia by migrants is immense, their children and grandchildren included. the vast majority of migrants have increased the value, both economically and culturally, of this country by an immeasurable amount. Initially migrants were predominately British, New Zealanders, Southern and Eastern Europeans. Later those people were followed by Vietnamese, Chinese, Indian, some from Africa and others from the Middle East, from all places in fact.

Just as the first post war arrivals were demonized by some, so are many of today's new arrivals, nothing new in that.

Met a young Irishman the other day, very early in the morning at the bus stop, it was dark and he wanted to travel some distance. As a very new arrival, living in a batch, he was a bit lost for directions to his work, which was some distance away, and Sydney's public transport system can be hard to follow at times, even for old hands. I helped him out with advice, and we caught the bus together. Seems the bloke is a bricklayer working here on a visa, and hopes to make enough money in Australia to put a deposit on a house for his family (wife and baby son) back in Ireland. He does not want to live permanent in Australia, loves Ireland too much, but is willing to work here, and make something for himself, and I am glad Australia can give him and others the opportunity that is hard to find in their country of origin.

Yep you are right there. They were all Christian & endeavoured to fit into Australia's Culture. However this last lot being forced on Australia are not Christian. In fact they wish to destroy Christianity & replace it with the medieval Cult of Islam. A Religion that, for 1500 years has been in turmoil, not only with itself, but the rest of the Civilized World. A Religion that wants to destroy Australia's culture & anyone who doesn't want to convert to Islam.

Now lets get back to the Iconography of "Aggressive War Iconography." I didn't see any comment from the belligerents on the iconography of the 'Gun Trucks of Vietnam.' The Iconography of our soldiers now whilst fighting in Afghanistan.

Why do you think it's so bad?
