What exactly is an "Anglo-Australian?"
Foxy,
You'd better ask this someone who claims to be one ! I'm a Celt btw !

With reference to my remarks above on how our political elites don’t care what mass non-European immigration does to the rest of us, while not knowing that the same thing will happen to them, I was just reading something that reminded me that John Howard asianised Australia to an extent never seen before - and look what happened to him. The Chinese voters in his electorate humiliated him by making him only the second Australian serving Prime Minister to lose his seat.

It’s amazing that he still appears in public, and seems to ‘advise’ the Liberal party. Even more amazing is that that the ‘leaders’ since him have kept up the mass Chinese immigration. It might well be that Howard had lost the plot; he had been PM long enough. But there was/is no excuse for Abbott, Turnbull and now Morrison to keep going in the same direction. While some of us are laughing at the US idiot, Joe Biden and his demented ramblings, we should instead be looking at the galah who already has the top job here, and will do so for another two years. Maybe the plan is for Gladys Liu to replace him

Mr O,

Australia has never been part of the United Kingdom.
It was part of the British Empire but became
basically independent in 1931 (the final constitutional
ties were cut in 1986).

It is part of the Commonwealth, but that's a voluntary
club.

Australia is neither a colony nor an overseas territory. We
ceased to be colonies in 1901 when the colonies
federated and became states of the Commonwealth
of Australia. The only tie
we have with the UK is - we share the Queen as our ceremonial
and constitutional head of state. Her representative in
Australia is the Governor-General chosen by the federal
parliament of the day for a five year term.

It does seem odd to some people that a nation as proud as
Australia would accept an unelected foreigner as head of
state.

But Australians accept it. Possibly because most feel it is
better to stay with what works. In the Westminster System
the head of state has mainly ceremonial powers and is
apolitical - which Australians prefer.

Individual,

You stated that you're of Celtic ancestry?

Are you Welsh, Scottish or Irish?

ttbn,

I very much doubt whether Ms Liu will get re-elected.
I'll be very surprised if she does at the next election.
The Liberal Party will probably replace her because of
her connections to the Communist Party. Also many
Chinese Australians may well question whether she has
the skills to be an effective parliamentarian and make
any sort of contribution on behalf of her constituents
and community.

They have yet to see much beyond political fund raising
in her CV. Her interview with Andrew Bolt high-lighted
her inability to dissect the issues and challenges
facing Australia.

The concerns around skills and competence are important
especially for Chinese communities that strongly believe in
merit.

Also, if the Chinese communities are serious about
increasing the participation of Chinese-Australians and
Asian Australians in Australian democratic institutions -
they need to erase the stereotype portraying them as
little more than cash-cows, political fund-raisers, and
numbers-builders.

Unfortunately this is a stereotype that has been
exacerbated by representatives like Ms Liu and former NSW
Labor MP Ernest Wong.

Foxy,

You didn't ask individual if he is Breton.

You will know if he is telling the truth if he replies "Je suis Breton." otherwise he's a Scot.

Mr O,

Is your hero - Jack Daniels?
