No matter who wins government next year, they are very unlikely to put a stop to the nonsense of the "most-successful-ever-multiculturalism".

The leader of the Muslim Women Association in Lakemba complains that policing of Covid rules in the Muslim ghettos is causing "traumatised emotions". In response, the NSW police cringingly bleated that they have "met with more than 200 senior religious leaders"; they have, "called ambulances, arranged food, organised welfare checks"; they have even PROVIDED HAY to feed animals! Since when was it OK for residents to keep hay-eating animals in a suburban environment? Even the mustn't-be-upset Muslims.

The woman doing the complaining (yes, a woman, despite the myths about hard-done-by Muslim women needing to be saved by hairy-chested Westerners), Maha Abdo, has been "recognised" by the NSW government.

Talk about shooting themselves in the foot!

Now, while NSW has more multicultural and Muslim problems than the other states put together, multiculturalism is a federal stupidity, and the federal government has the responsibility to fix it. It's bad enough that Indigenous identifiers and activists seek special treatment. It's a catastrophe for Australia when Johnny Come Lately immigrants and their offspring think that they should be treated differently from Australians, in Australia.

If there were politicians who would deal with multiculturalism as it needs to be dealt with, I would vote for them; but, it's not going to happen. Australia is rooted.

The diverse character is central to the Australian
story. Governments need to tell this story. Our
political leaders should have no difficulty in
presenting diversity as an important part of the
"national identity" that they frequently invoke.

They should add that diversity brings with it -
innovation, ideas, skills, energy, and achievement
and makes us richer in all kinds of ways, including
our "identity."

The Australian governments should consider mechanisms to
promote an inclusive view not a separate one. A
united view, not a divisive one.

It remains to be seen whether and how the current and
future Australian governments will engage with the
concept of diversity in responding to the evolving
nature of Australian society.

There are many challenges that lie ahead, mistakes
will undoubtedly be made - but the effort will
definitely be worthwhile.

Hi Foxy,

A question: If Australia was made up of 85 year plus old farts, white, male, hard right, and no one else, what some here see as the ideal make up. How long do you thing the show would last?

It has been suggested that the party that offers a credible path to freedom will win. The heavy hand of endless lockdowns should be to Labor what Chris Bowen’s franking credits were at the last election.

Of course, there is always Clive Palmer's United Australia, now led by Craig Kelly following his appalling treatment by the Liberal Party.

While some are throwing around the names of nincompoops as leadership material, the likes of Fat George and now Craig Kelly, Wow! One poly who has shown excellent leadership and control is the Speaker of the House, Tony Smith. Smith is not contesting the next election, but I must say he is up there with the best ever who have had the Speakers job.
