The people of Afghanistan have been displaced from their homes and their place of living and functioning has been forced into disarray, that many there simply cannot cope with.

Yet the Prime Minister of Australia, will only take a small number of Afghan people into Australia on humanitarian grounds. It is unlikely he will change his mind to take more people.

With that to consider, would you open your heart and doors to the people of Afghanistan? Would you pledge and allow someone to stay and live in your home and pay basic costs to look aften them? This is to send a message to the Australian government to allow more Afghan people to reside in Australia.

The very last thing we need in Oz is to inject the tribalism, & war lord mentality that rules Afghanistan into the already damaged Oz culture. As if multiculturalism has not done enough to develop warring subcultures here, Nathan wants to bring in another bunch of misfits.

Mate they can't even get along with their same ethnic neighbors, & you want to inflict them on us. Fair go.

How many Afghanistanies moved to Russia when the Russians pulled the pin?
I shouldn’t imagine those numbers to be a stampede.

Another point, since the Chinese neighbours have been snaking around doing deals in Afghanistan, why not immigrate to China as an alternative.
There are 260 million foreign workers in China, so a few from Afghanistan wouldn’t tip any balances.

So there you go, three options apart from a new flood of ME refugees into Au.

I stated three options and neglected to mention the third.
IE. stay at home and fight your own battles.
Now that is an ideal option.

Hasbeen,

<<Mate they can't even get along with their same ethnic neighbors>>

I hope you don't have any. If anything in terms of not getting on with others, you have already created such division.

The topic also states: "Would you open your doors to the people of Afghanistan?" This refers to your door, my door, the doors of others. It is not something that can be forced. It may also be the case (although I wouldn't agree) a person could stay on a property and not step a foot within a public realm or any public place, to appease your concerns.

Dear Nathan,

Unfortunately, I am in no position to offer my home to anyone.
However, I do believe that our government could
increase the number of our refugee intake to match
that of Canada.
