Pakistan-born Australian, Sherry Sufi, writes that nation-states have a distinct way of life and that they "typically do all they can to preserve it". Without doing this , the country's physical and cultural survival would be at risk.

A dominant culture and shared values hold a nation together. The dominant culture of Australia is based on our own interpretation of working class British culture: the same as the cultures of Canada, the US and New Zealand. Unfortunately, for some time now, the lack of education in history and a warped black armband view of our past has convinced too many Australians that we don't have a worthwhile culture, and the slightest "expression of pride in one’s British Isles ancestry or the Christian faith makes one racist …".

The political class falls for this false and ridiculous theory, and tries to counteract the myth with mass immigration and multiculturalism. Multiculturalism removes the incentive from migrants to segregate into the dominant culture that made Australia what it is and the country immigrants clearly prefer to the ones they came from. Multiculturalism (as opposed to multi-ethnicity) is driving Australia down a "divisive path".

Pakistan-born Sufi writes that it is,the "... British character that enables Australia today to become better than it was yesterday", and the ongoing improvements won't be helped if we appease a "noisy minority of activists whose goal it is to make Australia less 'British' in its character".

The activist forces that exist are most pronounced in Australia and the Anglosphere in general, not in the likes of China, India and the Islamic world, where there is no interest in "neutralising their own foundations".

As a sovereign state, Australia needs to come out of its current "cultural amnesia". It has the right to preserve its distinct way of life. We should be inclusive, but not at the expense of the majority, who had no part in "the perceived and actual ills that occurred in the past".

Sorry about the meaningless heading, which should read: "Australia's Cultural Identity Deserves to be Preserved".

David Anderson gave a speech at La Trobe University
on 15th March 2021 in which he spoke about Australia's
culture, and our national identity. He spoke of today's
Australia:

"Australia's identity cannot ever be just one thing.
In fact it's a great many things."

" Today, our identity is made up of many cultures,
from the city to the bush, across our towns, suburbs,
and streets. Understanding our differences and
celebrating our shared values helps us achieve social
cohesion."

" And because we are a sovereign nation we have a
statutory obligation to impartiality that Australians
look to us to celebrate what it means to be Australian..."

Many minority groups have experienced exclusion or the
denigration of their contributions and identities in the
past.

Today Australians seek the inclusion of the voices and
contributions of diverse members of society.

Today the country chooses to confront and acknowledge the
past and the present, and strives to do better, together.

This David Anderson doesn't agree with Sherry Sufi - or me, for that matter. So be it.

In fact it's a great many things."
Foxy,
Wouldn't it be marvellous if it could be 'many great things' like it was several decades ago before the Leftist traitors sabotaged this Nation's future ?

individual,

A dominant culture is the one which has the ability
to hold power over our social institutions and
influence the rest of society's beliefs and actions.
And it's the dominant culture that can change in
response to the social landscape.
