depending on ethnicity ?
Loudmouth,
?? What are you on today ??

a sliding scale of penalties for offences, depending on ethnicity ?
Loudmouth,
Come to think of it, that's not such a bad idea but with the focus on deeds not just ethnicity.
Someone here said recently just because a dog is born in a stable doesn't make him a horse.

Foxy,
You said, "I've made it quite clear that within an institutional
framework that preserves tolerance and protects order we
can celebrate and enjoy diversity in food, in music, in
religion, in language and culture. But we could not do that
without the framework which guarantees the freedom to enjoy
diversity".

That sounds like the propaganda written on a wine bottle label and makes the same sense.

You also said, "There are laws we are all expected to abide by. It is the law enacted by the Parliament under the Australian Constitution.
If people can't accept that then they don't accept the
fundamentals of what Australia is and what it stands for".

Agreed and if they don't accept that they should not be here and we should stop them from coming here. We should also boot out those that demonstrate lack of respect. Need better law enforcement.

Joe,
You have not noticed any group wanting us to change our ways and our society?

Lord! where have you been for the last 40-50 years.

I seem to recall muslim blokes in dresses calling our girls 'whores' for wearing bikinis at beaches and even street wear. Did the word 'sharia' just pop into my head or have I heard that mentioned by various muslims.
I recall hundreds of muslims rioting in Sydney showing their hatred for us and calling for us to be beheaded. And I suppose all those rapes in Sydney were not racially motivated but done out of love. No need to even mention the hate speeches by Imams and Sheeiks over the years.

Muslims have been quite vocal about changing our society and have even told us how they intend to do it.

Henry,

Yep, there are extremists of all sorts in Australia, like in any other country. Of course they should be penalised if they break any laws. And the groups that you allude to, Islamists, should be closely monitored, given the incidents of brutal crimes over the past couple of decades with which they have been associated.

And they make up how much of the Australian population ? How much of the non-Anglo or 'new Australian' population ? How much of even the Muslim population ? Surely we need to focus discussion on precisely those groups within groups which are likely to commit crimes ? How does this even relate to non-Muslims across Australia ? Do we tar all of those fellow-Australians with the crimes of a few ?

So what do we do with the extreme-Right extremists, usually born-Australians ?

Get a grip.

Joe

Get a grip.
Loudmouth,
Not really, you should loosen yours !
