"Which communities exactly?"

Good question, AC; but don't expect an answer. Most of these claims are bruited about with the knowledge that most people are not interested enough to ask. Thankfully most Australians - and most OLO posters for that matter - are not like the Marxist wackos here who think that anyone who disagrees with their crap is 'negative'. Hardly an winning argument.

As for your question about Australians becoming a minority in our own country, that depends on how long this mass immigration mania continues. The old joke about governments 'electing' a new constituency might not be a joke after all.

The next three years will be critical: with the communistic ALP, anything is likely to happen, and the opposition is yet to get the message that it is going to have to get back to what it used to be, and actually start opposing instead of sitting back like stunned mullets.

And, Paul - Pakistan is not uninhabitable because of severe flooding anymore than NSW is. It's up to the Pakistani government to fix the problem, not the Australian government, which hasn't done much for flood-affected Australians itself. 'Climate refugee' is just another meaningless and hysterical phrase put about by the usual suspects (like you) banging on with the climate 'emergency' bullshite to keep the vulnerable on edge. Well, more and more people are waking up to the nonsense. You might think you're a big man haranguing a few people in the very small OLO pond, but you are a real life joke.

Dear Paul,

In 21st Century Australia the fact that more than 1 in 4
Australians were not born here seems unremarkable, as
though it's always been that way. All around us we see
the celebration of the richness of our life-style that
comes through the input of so many cultures.

What it means to be an Aussie has morphed to meet the
challenges and diversity of our changing times.
Australians today are more sophisticated, better educated,
and more mature. They represent our place in a world
of global interactions.

I've just spent an afternoon with my grand-children.
I am amazed at how much they know. And the interest they
show in what's going on in the world.
Times do change. The differences between 1950s Australia
and today's Australia is huge. One has to only look at the
school textbooks to see how information that's being
provided to students has changed. And for the better.

"Which communities exactly?"

The Gosford (NSW) Anglican Church community for one. Checking them out, I can't see even one Black Marxists from Afghanistan in the congregation, must have been an off Sunday. I'm sure "Albert" will detect reds under the beds, sorry I should say, in the pews.

ttbn, the joke is you with your archaic ideas and beliefs which you mask as conservatism, more like a stick-in-the-mud philosophy. No one would ask, or expect you to do any community good, sponsoring refugees included. Fortunately Australia and the World doesn't need people like you anymore, if they ever did, you have become irrelevant.

I've never been a fan of the multiculturalism agenda.
I've always thought that using immigration is a tool of the globalists to divide all sovereign countries and turn all the issues and arguments into matters of race and identity.
Change the people = Change the governments, cause and effect.
I liked it better how it was, and I'm not afraid to say it.
People are at the heart of things tribalistic in some ways.
We feel more comfortable, safer and unified as a nation when we're around our own people.
- Whether right or wrong, that's what I think.

But I don't to be the kind of person that hates foreign people just because they're foreign, that would be racist, even though I recognise racism and nationalism are kind of related.

In any case all these new Albo-Aussies, well we can't load them all up and send them back.
They're considered as Australian as Anzac biscuits now ttbn.
We were the country that coined 'fair go'
- But I wonder if we're giving ourselves a fair go with all these foreigners.

Like I may support Russia in all this geopolitical shenanigans, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't help a Ukrainian in need.

But am I willing to accept these people who would call me racist and probably many hate white or western people anyway, who would also state that we don't have any culture, whilst forcing me to accept bow to theirs.

And finally what can we even do about it anyway?
We may have democracy, but that doesn't mean we Australians get to have any say in the things that matter, all those decisions have been decided by the higher ups, and we get to argue about gays, religions and indigenous issues, and the weather and the price of petrol like they want us too.

There was a show on ABC earlier called 'Displaced', I only caught a minute of it though.

Dear Paul,

«many Australians are now aware and involved in grass roots private community sponsorship of refugee families.»

Sounds wonderful... until I actually clicked on your link and found that there is nothing private or grass-roots about it, rather it is all coordinated with, funded and monitored by government!

True grass-roots private endeavours to help refugees would:
* decide by themselves who is a refugee that should be helped
* pay themselves for helping the refugees
* never direct and expose refugees to government institutions (such as centerlink)
* help the refugees to enter, such as by finding/building them boats that are good enough to reach Australia and help them to sneak through border controls, or produce counterfeit passports, or free them by raiding immigration-detention prisons, then hide them in cellars and double walls, or in the bush, then feed them and care for them, at one's own expense of course
* Operate as an underground

In short, this is yet another wing of the established regime - how disappointing!

«Following the success of the people powered, "Home to Bilo" campaign for the Nadesalingam refugee family»

The campaign actually failed - the family was locked up and suffered tremendously for years (and we, tax-payers, had to pay so many millions to keep them cruelly imprisoned). What happened then was that government changed and the new government took over and capitalised on the people's effort, thus managed to neutralise the risk (for them) of having a genuine people's movement.
