Canem Malum,

You certainly can't speak on behalf of anybody
but yourself. And certainly NOT on behalf of
the 1.2 million citizens from the United Kingdom
living in Australia.

Dear Yuyutsu,

This discussion is about multiculturalism.
It's not a competition between cultures and
which one is "better". It is about people
from all different backgrounds living together
in harmony. And the political and cultural
institutions that govern Australia and are
absolutely critical to that attitude of harmony
and tolerance.

Where 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.

Answer-

I suppose that you also can't speak on behalf of anybody but yourself.

But I generally don't speak on behalf of anybody but I talk of "their interest" as I perceive it.

I think there are many more of UK Heritage in Australia.

Dear Foxy,

Don't let idiots worry you, when they are reduced to nothing but ad hominems, they've lost the game.

There are postings from some here that I've learnt not to bother reading. So let them waste their tiny tsaents.

Love,

Jo

Perhaps I meant The British Isles.

Canem Malum,

The photo is of a tram stop in Flinders St Melbourne. I recognise it from my visits to Melbourne.

I cannot understand why people keep rejecting the fact that Sydney and Melbourne are Asian cities. It is the result of four decades of Asianisation and Australia is now an Asian nation.

It is not the Asian who has been integrated into Australian society but the Australian who has been integrated into Asian society. This was the aim of multiculturalism in Australia.

Everyone needs to embrace their Asianess and break free of their monocultural preferences.
