This is the sort of injustice that happens when a country does not have a multicultural policy:

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-53510260

Those poor Chinese migrants are being hounded by the Feds just because they are operatives of the Chinese government trying to get stuff out of the US and back to China.

Australia will have plenty of those types here but nothing happens to them. Why? Because we have a multicultural policy to protect these poor migrants who are just trying to go about their lives and doing the right thing for their country.

America hang your head in shame. And if you don't fix the problem we will send Foxy over to give you all an old-fashioned shirt-fronting!

Dear Yuyutsu,

Faith is a matter of opinion. It is opinion with no evidence to back it up. If there is evidence it is not faith. Doubt leads to questioning. Questioning leads to knowledge. In my opinion faith is a vice. It is a curse on humanity.

Foxy,

Stop !

Actually, I have to confess that I find women from all over the world incredibly attractive. I've been tempted to use "Please, can you clear something up - does your government only allow beautiful women to migrate ?" as a chat-up line.

But they've all probably heard it before. Especially Lithuanians.

Charles Darwin talked about what he called 'hybrid vigour' in 'The Descent of Man', that the children of intermarriage tended to inherit the best, the most beautiful, the healthiest, and the most intelligent, of both of their parents.

I've never understood talk about Aboriginal women being beautiful 'for an Aboriginal' - of course they are, perhaps more than average. Almost every Aboriginal girl from Broome, with its history of Aboriginal, Japanese, Indonesian, etc., seems to be stunningly beautiful, ot maybe it's just me.

So I'm fully in support of inter-marriage between everybody, all of our kids and grand-kids. Driving past the Adelaide High school at closing time, my heart lifts when I see Africans walking with Asians with australians etc. Beautiful.

That's the wonderful future of multiculturalism, folks :). Half their luck.

Joe

Mr Opinion seems very convinced that we are going to be
over-run by Chinese from mainland Chinese.

Perhaps he will be able to teach our newcomers the Lingo
being so well educated as he claims to be,

It might go something like this:

" Fellow Australians, both old and new. I'm glad to
see yus all here for this important ceremony. In
welcomin' yus on behalf of Council though, I would
stress one point, important to all of yus who are
wanting to be nationalized. I would urge yus all to
learn to speak English properly. I know that, on
my own particular line, which is plumbin' I often
have the greatest difficulty in understandin' what
some of yus are talking about when you endeavour to
describe what is wrong with your sinks, baths or
cisterns - as the case may be.

Now, this is only one instance of how important it is
for reffos - er - new citizens - to learn to speak
English properly. I mean ter say, if you can say -
"comment tallez vous" in your own tongue, isn't it
just as easy to say - "how are yus goin'", in English?

So listen to the old Aussies around yus, and in next to
no time you'll be spoutin'English left, right and centre
just like the best of us".

Chris,

We are not talking about the arrival of "different people", nor are we talking about migrants/immigration. We are talking about the official policy of multiculturalism - that Australian citizens were never asked about - that encourages people to gather in tribes, to be different. No need to fit in if they don't want to. Identify politics reigns supreme, and Australia, like most Western countries, is rapidly becoming a country of disparate tribes.

Too many people confuse 'race' with 'culture'. Races are equal, cultures are not.

And, yes. In the case of this insidious policy of multiculturalism, politicians have definitely done "as they like"

"means that those Aussies that do support immigration and multiculturalism support the rights of foreigners more than they respect the rights of their fellow Australians."

I'm talking about people like Foxy, who couldn't give a crap what Australians that oppose immigration and multiculturalism think.

They don't care that we 'who so generously allowed them to come to our country' might not want the nation swamped with immigrants and PC crap.

Their supporting of the PC narrative means they have critical mass and we who oppose have no voice and no choice.

She ain't a 10th generation Aussie who's parents fought in all our major wars, her family ran away from their country and gatecrashed ours after the war.

They didn't want to fix their own country, they wanted something easier so they came here, and now they speak for us?

You all talk about the contribution from immigrants.
So bloody what?

Thanks for your efforts, truly, but this doesn't mean you can turn our country into the one you ran away from.
Our country does NOT owe YOUR culture anything.

You came here because you wanted to be a part of OUR country.
Remember? No you don't, because you didn't did you?
You didn't want to come here, you just wanted to get away from where you were previously.
They never gave a crap about the people who were already here, they thought it was a completely unpopulated clean slate where they could just start again and live the way they did where they came from.
Could give a stuff about the people who were here already.

And this is why they have this attitude where they think they can impose what they believe on everyone else, after all, "I'm an immigrant" they say to themselves, "Why shouldn't everyone be able to bumrush Australia and turn it into the worlds toilet, we did."
