Mr Opinion has consistently raised this issue on
the forum - I
thought it might be worth having a discussion on
the topic and hopefully get a diversity of views
on the subject.

The Australian Human Rights Commission has stated the
following:

" How we handle the task of multiculturalism within our
borders, how we manage the various contents around
race and national identity will go a long way to
determining whether we will be a success as a nation in
a century that will see the ascend of Asia".

At the same time on another website - the emphasis was:

"It is important to maintain a continuity of established
Australian values and institutions and a clear-eyed
commitment to individual liberty as distinct from
the rights of ethnic blocs".

Your thoughts please.

I agree with the latter view; I am much less concerned with multi-ethnic dimension.

Thank You Chris.
Your comments are appreciated.

Race - no problem.
Culture - no problem.
Values - no problem so long as they respect everyone else's way of life.
National identity - a big problem, whatever "nation" one identifies with.

«determining whether we will be a success as a nation in
a century that will see the ascend of Asia»

This is not the kind of success I wish for.
We, the people who live in this continent, need to survive - especially against the onslaughts of fires, COVID and China,
I sincerely hope that we be successful in warding off these dangers,
but while united in this effort to survive we should not be infected by the very ugly disease that brings the enemy to attack us - nationalism.

Simply- I believe that Australia has and is becoming Asianized and Australia should be for British Australian's. The Aboriginal's need to be treated fairly- the Aboriginals are being treated too fairly at the moment. Australia has generously accepted foreigners especially ones that are similar to Australians into Australia in the past and Australian's are generally happy to accept them as long as they don't impact on or threaten the British Australian diaspora or for a temporary period to assist with a crisis such as the impact of WWII.

There are other interests that can affect immigration policy that don't necessarily have the interests of Australia at heart.

Foxy,

What do you think of my use of The Great Asianization Period (1980-2020) in Australian history?
