Toni, you have twisted what I have written to mean,//you still haven't told me where it is, exactly, in Australia that our laws don't apply.//

I have not stated there are places where Australian law does not apply. However there are places in Australia where cultural laws supersede or Australian laws in their society. No mixed bathing, no dogs allowed, no alcohol, no leaving the faith, no intermarriage etc, etc. Honour killings do occur in Australia.

'Are you comparing Theresa May to Hitler and Mao'

save that for planned parenthood and its supporters. They rename a human being just like nazis did to Jews.

Robert Russell writing in Quora has written about the benefits
of multiculturalism in Australia. I thought that it might be worth
reading some of the points he has raised. Because if we're going
to discuss multiracialism benefits we also need to discuss the
benefits of multiculturalism. He wrote:

"Looking and acting like a British colonial outpost
while claiming to be an independent nation is not
altogether a good look."

"The benefits of multiculturalism for
Australia is the recognition of a wider history
as well as a broader
range of skills and abilities. The opening up
opportunities, a calming, moderating
influence on the wider Australian population,
less fear of "us" and "them",
less pressure on new citizens
to "act like us." They can act like themselves if they want."

Russell pointed out there would be - "more engagement with our
region. Less isolationist, less tied to the darker past of
colonialism, less tarred with the same brush." He said, "We are
a new country, not a clone of the old one."

He stressed, "Increased diversity, arguably leading to
increased understanding and creativity. We can leverage a greater
range of possibilities and innovate from a wider base of people,
languages and skills."

"Increased differentiation from other nations, especially from
"the Mother Country," (which was a slight upon the real locals,
the Indigenous people, anyway). Our differentiation by
inclusion leads on to "Australia's top sales points."

"From a tourism perspective, for example. We wouldn't be a clone,
we would be a broader, wider and deeper and more interesting than that.
Making the country more attractive to migrants and more likely
to trade - and to trade with a deeper understanding with a
greater range of countries.
We would have an enhanced regional and wider
global engagement. We would be more obviously
integrated with the wider world, rather than preferring
to "play only with our friends.
We would have broadened our message."

"Staying "mono-cultural" would not be good economically or
socially and we'd have a hard time trying to pretend that we
are "British" these days anyway."

cont'd ...

yep Josephus and the abc feminist/marxist know the life styles they promote are as putried and Islamic extremist. That is why they are bed fellows at least for the time being. They both hate light and truth.

"We have moved on and created something different.
Different can be better, especially if done well."

"Successive waves of incoming migrations have had
improving levels of acceptance and integration with
decreasing emphasis on forced "assimilation" of
a supposed ruling class mono-culture."

"What we see today is a modern Australia with all
its flaws, Yes - but a much different place from
the "British ethnic clone" it once pretended to be.
Isn't that enough? I can't imagine a modern Australia
that didn't reflect its regional location, its
multicultural immigration heritage as well as its
Indigenous culture, whilst acknowledging the British
colonial influence as well."

Russell writes that "It's a diverse, varied and
generally peaceful nation that has by and large
successfully differentiated itself from other nations
and part of that success is because of multiculturalism."

"We are a richer, more resilient and creative population.
If you want to test this assertion just imagine a
mono-culture especially an imported one with little or no
inbuilt adaptation of local conditions that can only have
a certain range of standard responses beyond which it has
to adapt and change."

"We have always been a mixture of influences from
Indigenous to Irish to Chinese. We are us.
So multiculturalism simply reflects our society."

"Multiculturalism is more than immigration alone and
more than simply immigration from many countries. It's
a principled acceptance and encouragement of incoming
cultures, allowing for an increasing diversity of
ongoing cultural influences to remain within a
population group."

And please don't attack me personally - instead argue
the points that Russell is making.
