From the Australian:

"You have to pinch yourself. In 2006 our population was under 20 million, and now it’s over 25 million. I can’t think of a developed Western country that’s experienced a change of that magnitude,” says Andrew Markus, a professor at Monash University who tracks social cohesion.

The Chinese-born population of Australia grew by half to 650,000 in the five years to last year (more than eight times faster than the overall population), and by 2023 is on track to exceed Eng­lish-born. The Indian-born population grew even faster to 590,000, overtaking the number of New Zealanders, traditionally the second biggest stock of ­foreign-born residents after the Brits."

What's that! Did I hear someone say Melbourne already has a Sudanese Islamic Vigilante Group that roams the streets beating up people they don't like and robbing jewelry stores?

"Sudanese Islamic Vigilante Group" really?

Religious affiliation, South Sudan-born persons in Australia: 2016 census;

Catholic 41%, Anglican 23%, Presbyterian 11%, Christian unidentified 6%, Uniting Church 4%, other religions 8%, No religion 2%, not stated 3%.

The Sudanese Islamic Vigilante Group WHO IS HE? Then we can rub him out!

Indy, I was disgusted to run into a couple of welfare for lifers, an Old Aged Pensioner, and his wife down at Gods Waiting Room. The old bloke in his 70's, while downing his 3rd schooner, was telling me how tough they were doing it on the Aged Pension. His wife slipped off to blow a quick 20 bucks in the pokies! Shameful.

The government has to take action to cut that $20 billion and growing we waste on Aged Pensions every year. I have suggested 'Senors National Service' and its a fantastic idea, as you know. What can be done is the cash payment can be cut to $10/fortnight for opulent waste purposes. Pensioners don't need cash, they simply waste it on a luxurious lifestyle. What should be provided besides the $10 cash is such things as food vouchers, and a fortnightly luxury pack consisting of 1 roll of toilet paper, half a tube of toothpaste, a candle for light and heat, and a bag of 'Jelly Babies' just to show the old folks how much we care. How does that run with you?

Paul1405,
My view is that everyone on a wage should contribute to a pension fund whenever they earn a Dollar. I've done that ! What have you done ?

Dear Paul1405,

So are you telling us that those violent Sudanese gangs we see roaming the streets of Melbourne are all Christians? Amazing! I would never have picked them for Christians. LNP voters maybe, but definitely not Christians.
