Dear Belly,

What's happening to our country?

What's with the blame game?

Foxy we need accountability from all sides of politics
A very long time ago a politician Labor, was forced to resign because he failed to pay tax, on a teddy bear,and tv he brought back from a trip overseas [1970s]
If we had that much accountability now?
Politicians play the divide card and those divisions are now entrenched,we are poorer for that
Too we are more interested in our own lives than even easily ignoring this truth politics is worse for our refusal to become engaged
But once the slowdown arrives ,and it will,things will change for the better as people will find reason to get involved

It beats me where our culture, our honour, and morality has gone? As we've become even more advanced, we've become more vicious even more brutal towards one another? And I don't know why?

Immigration & multiculturalism old mate

Dear Hasbeen,

If it wasn't for multiculturalism Australia
would still be a cultural backwater today.
Just remember who it was that built the strong
foundations that have served this country for
decades.

cont'd ...

If you want to see what Australia would be like
today without immigration and multiculturalism -
travel to rural areas.

Hi there HASBEEN...

I agree with you in principle. I'm a great believer of selective immigration, determined by us. We select who we'd like to have settled here, not the morally corrupt UN or any of its sycophant Nations, trying to tell us what to do. For multiculturalism to succeed, it must evolve in its own good time, and not be involuntarily stuffed down our necks, by restrictive laws 'forcing us' to accept others. A bit like water, it finds its own level. People are no different.

Similarly, if two Aussie blokes, who don't like each other, and frequently say so across the back fence, rarely need mediation or police interference, provided it's kept reasonable. People can often work out their differences, without the heavy hand of the law, bashing one side or another into submission? You can never legislate for people to like each other.
