Foxy,

if I had my way I would lock you and pseudo-mouth up forever.

Misop,

It's called being up yourself, mate.

Joe,

I have never mentioned the "rights" of immigrants. It is unnecessary immigration that concerns me, not who immigrates. My beef is with the governments who are filling up the country with people we do not need.

Immigrants are able to "bring over their relations", if the Australian government approves. It is not a 'right'.

My ancestors arrived here in the early 1800's. I don't think anybody in Scotland, England or Germany is likely to say, "Hey, cuzz. I'd like you to help me get into Australia". I don't know a soul who could vaguely be related to me outside Australia.

Thanks to you lefties, who are always telling us what terrible people the rest of us are: how 'racist' we are, what a waste of space we are, people like me, who used to be easy-going and and super-tolerant, have become mightily pissed off; sick and tired of ratbag minorities attacking anyone who is not Green or some other Commo flavour. Every maniac thinks he/she has a higher cause than other people. The "other people" are the so-called silent majority, who might be prepared to return B-graders like Queensland's Labor government, but who will not tolerate the sort of climate change/cancel culture/BLM/odd-bod immigration shite at the ballot box.

It is people like you, that awful woman, and Paul1405 - who think you are great warriors defending the weak - who are turning people against the very things so dear to your hearts. You are unaware of the damage you are doing to the people you think you are championing.

ttbn,

Don't worry, we're all Asian now.

Hi Joe,

ttbn once again simply can't stay away from a discussion
that he described as "stupid" raised by "that awful woman".
Strange that I'm still on his mind.
I guess I should be flattered. And, -
I've gone from "ignorant" to "awful". Wow!

Poor man. I actually feel sorry for him. Australia has
changed and he's finding it difficult to understand. Poor
thing is an anachronism - who I imagine yearns for
the come back of the "White Australia Policy"
which is well and truly now on the ash heap of history.

I honestly wish him peace in his old age. I don't bear any
ill-will towards him at all. And I am sorry that I seem
to be contributing in some small way to his angst. It is
not intentional or malicious on my part. Perhaps it would
help him if he was to stay away from anything I post and
any discussions that I initiate. That might help.

Foxy,

You forgot cuisine, and Australia is a better place for the immigrant contribution.

Which reminds me; I was at an Indian restaurant recently and a little old lady wearing a sari came up to our table, she told my wife how beautiful she looked and when I thanked her, in Hindi, she praised my pronunciation and the thickness of my white hair.

Turned out that she was the complimentary nan.
