How did Pauline respond to your strategic advice, Boazy? I'm dying to know.

mickijo said: "James Purser, take a long look at any TV shot of any main street in any Australian state and you will see that indeed we have a large crowd of Asians, I do not use the word 'swamped' out of courtesy. Check the universities as well."

'Asianisation' is a reality, whether we like it or not. Australia's Asian population has increased by something like 800% in three decades (find the census figures and do the math if you don't believe me). Is it 'racist' to point out a demographic fact? I think not.

Dresdener,

Well Pauline doesn't seem to worried about Asian immigration now a days. She's moved on to the latest "hate of the week".

And yes, by definition, it is racist to demand that one group be excluded based on their race.

Please dont jump to conclushions. I opended this thread with a question- Which was I wonder how many people will support Pauline simply because they want to show the Government they had no right to jail her because she was a threat to them.?

I did not say she spoke for me but I am concerned about the Government bringing in more and more people despite where they are from because of our water situation.

Nor do I know Pauline`s position on the Cruel Live Export trade despite having asked several times.

Here is ourlink with our Programe we have been running to work with Muslim People In Australia James so your theory of us being racist is unfounded.

I will say however we need new leadership of Muslims in Australia but that not what this thread is about.

Its very uncalled for to call her a dog and cant you just imagine! to fuss if SHE said it.
Seems to be one rule for you and another for her.
What I said was I do not think she deserved to be jailed.
As James said- he will support her right for free speach despite the fact he does not agree with her.
Thats the Aussie way
STG.

The question was- How many people will vote for her out of shear anger at the way she was treated?I think many will because Aussies dont like Government blocking free speach- even if they do not agree with the person.

Morgan. Your comment to David- funny as.
Davo I have anumberif you like. Just email me through our web page. I will warn you however Pauline doesnt listen to many people I am told by her sister Judy.
James whatever you feel I think shes sincerly concerned about Australia
Under todays climate that not a evil plan either.
Look lets face it there are many Australians who dont want more and more imagrants so why shouldnt she be allowed to represent them?

CJ.. The last person I would be discussing that with ..is you :)

PALE.. I've emailed.

James... the 'Asianization' thing did not worry me so much personally, as I'm married to one. But being 'in' that community, I can tell you there is a LOT of very real racism there, and you might re-think your views if you came in touch with it.

I recall that around 1981 there was a hue and cry that "If Labor wins, Box Hill will be 'Asian' within 5 yrs" at the time they all said 'OOoooh.. racist...blah blah'.... well all I can say is.. 'visit Box hill today' :) (Vic)

Demographic management is as much a political responisiblity as economic management.
The reality is.. races/cultures are different, and any government which does not recognize potential points of conflict and manage them, is plain stupid.

Part of demographic management is to facilitate assimilation and integration...NOT to promote hard walled racial/cultural segregation/aparthied. Deny this to our peril.

I think since the last time Pauline went off at some group of 'others' it was prior to 9/11 ? a lot has happened since then to shift the focus from 'that which is dangerous' to that which is MOST dangerous.

As many have said, Pauline was right.

One day I got on the train and in the compartment I was in there were
one Australian
12 Chinese
one of middle eastern appearance.

The train went another six stops and the score was

3 Australians
30 Chinese
4 of middle eastern appearance

What is your definition of swamped ?
