Chris Lewis- "I could be wrong, but I want the big O to define how Australia became Asian."
Answer- My understanding is Mr Opinion is saying that the growth pattern of Asian immigration will replace British Australian's with Asian's. Asianization of investment in Australia and reliance on Asian markets is influencing and distorting policy- exposing Australia to foreign control and is taking the power away from it's citizens and it's traditions. Loudmouth- "in 2019, in Australia, out of 7.5 million people from overseas, only 677,000 were from China." The modifier "only" implies that 677,000 is insignificant. Also 7.5M people that identify as foreign is important in a country of 25M. Asians don't need a high birth rate to dominate Australia there are already a large number of foreign Asian's that are coming to Australia at greater than replacement rates. China and India are 40 times the size of Australia. ABS policy- don't maintain statistics on family origins- and so stating your origin is optional- and so the statistics are inaccurate and subverted. There are also a large percentage of foreign students even in proportion to the Australian population. I know I feel alienated when I go near a university campus. I think it was Mr Opinion that posted the link to the Melbourne tram stop with the minority of British Australian's. Unfortunately the universities don't consider the concerns of their business in other parts of the community. Note you can control a company with only 17% of the shares- through manipulation of allegiances, etc. At least in a company people can move if they're not happy. In biology flocking behavior is similar to human behavior. http://animals.howstuffworks.com/birds/starling-murmurations.htm The repression of debate on ethnicity- in the name of anti-divisiveness- but really for the benefit of business- enforced by work place policy, doxing, judgement of personal views by employers. In the workplace no longer sufficient to avoid politics but actively show support for an ideology that you don't agree with or risk your security Posted by Canem Malum, Thursday, 17 September 2020 1:11:20 PM

Sounds like Julia at the Big Brother 1984 rally.
I begin to suspect that this policy is a carefully crafted political strategy. This starts to verge on the claims of QANON which has been discredited by opinion makers. Stakeholders should question opinion makers from different backgrounds from them- you can't rely on what they say at face value. Progressive is just another word for Communist. Every culture should have their own nation. Posted by Canem Malum, Thursday, 17 September 2020 1:13:31 PM

Dear David,
I hope that you will get your wish and that the changes you want to see happen, will happen within your lifetime, rather than later. I'm optimistic that they will. So much has already happened within my lifetime. Posted by Foxy, Thursday, 17 September 2020 1:17:52 PM

CM, yes, I understand what he is saying.
But I don't agree that a Western society stops being Western simply from a changing ethnic makeup. I agree that we need to debate cultural differences rather than merely accept them. But I am confident we will maintain our western characteristics. That is why I want to hear Mr O explain why we have become Asian. I don't see it.

Dear Chris,
The cultural mix today is in our national DNA. It is part of our lifestyle. It is who we are. The fact that more than 1 in 4 of us were not born here is unremarkable - as though it has always been thus. Many comments celebrate the richness of our lifestyle that comes through the input of so many cultures. Amidst massive national and global change the Aussie spirit is alive and growing in the 21st century. What it means to be Australian has morphed to meet the challenges and diversity of our changing times. Australians hold strongly to an identity and "Aussie values" yet today these are more sophisticated and mature and represent our place in a world of global interaction. I recall talking to my grandson a while back, about his young Chinese friend - Benjamin. I remember asking my grandson which part of China Benjamin's family came from. My grandson replied - "He's an Aussie Baba, and he's from Melbourne, like us. Posted by Foxy, Thursday, 17 September 2020 1:49:32 PM

david f is a mathematician so it was easy for him to come up with that response. It only took him 2 hours to work it out.
