The problem is that thousands of immigrants in our cities now fail the character and deeds assessment, and we can do nothing about it. W would like our government to acknowledge this and do something about it.

Have a look at the problems the UK and Europe have now because of open border policies.

The left wing comments on this thread certainly come across as hating Australia and what we stand for.

Who's the `we' in this, and where do you get the idea that people with left wing views `hate' Australia? That's the kind of stuff that Trump and his cohort say to whip up anger among their supporters. I don't believe that anyone on this forum hates Australia, no matter what their views are.

[facthunter]

  It's outrageously and irresponsibly offensive to suggest anyone here Hates  Australia. What's left wing views? Letting the  ordinary people have a fair go?  Nev

Its not the ordinary people that is the problem, it is the numbers. We dont have enough affordable housing now. My daughter says that the amount of immigration is not a problem. Says my partner who is a 20 plus year immigrant who agrees about the numbers is shutting the gate behind her. Next thing she is upset that she cant get a house. She also went to university so I would have thought she could do basic maths!

 

I have a bit of a problem with multiculturism . In the 90s? there was a soccer gam in Melbourne? between a Serbian and Croation  based team and they ended up having a riot afterwards because of issues that were happening overseas. If these people come they should leave this stuff at home., 

[facthunter]

 Serbs and Croats are famous for that .They had a bloody war. The English football fans in Europe are NOT a class act either. Nev

[Siso]

That's exactly right, first that I had ever heard of it being done at after a sporting event in Australia and that is the point. Previously we had a few fists thrown at the match in the crowd. If you come here, leave your Sh#t from where you come from! Especially over the result of a sporting event.

[facthunter]

Football is like a god , to some people. They become Irrational. Nev

[Siso]

Not the point!

[facthunter]

It IS PART of the story and in using Serb/Croat situation as your example, you have the Most extreme circumstances where they had had a very nasty Psychological and murderous War in living memory of a lot of the Population.  Nev

Plenty of immigrants hate Australia, even despise it later on, and us. Another one living under a rock.

Hate is a very strong word that I think would apply to very few. I've never met anyone who said they hate or despise Australia. Have you? Those that genuinely do would very likely feel the same about their home country, or any other country for that matter. They are also free to leave if they want to. Even lots of immigrants from the UK couldn't decide whether they liked Australia or not and kept coming and going for years.

That's a typical, wide-ranging statement that has no facts to back it up. "Plenty" is a generic number that implies a substantial quantity. I don't believe that it's true that "plenty" of immigrants "hate Australia", that is typical Pauline Hanson sh*t-stirring talk.

What we need to actually do, is identify those immigrants who are failing to become useful Australian citizens, and who are here only to devise criminal means of acquiring wealth, and to arrange deportation of same.

[facthunter]

What about the NAZI-copying extreme right wing stirrers? Are they acceptable?  P Hanson uses and stirs raced Based Hate to get support. That's a Pretty $#!t Modus operandi. and it's worked for her for 30 years. she just changes her Target race now and again. She seems hardly able to Put 6 half a dozen words together. How could SHE represent Us as Leader on the World stage and not appear ridiculous, and an embarrassment  just as Trump is (only worse) What is Her level of education . Most people in Parliament these days have some Tertiary qualifications. And don't call ME a snob. I hate them.  I believe Australia should become a Republic sooner than Later. Nev

So what you are saying is that is acceptable for people to come from overseas and have riots in the streets of Australia because of some past disagreements on the other side of the world. I don't!

[Siso]

I don't believe a tertiary education necisarily makes a good politician. I would say the mob we have had for the last 20 years (both sides) are mostly tetiary educated and they are the worst I can remember.  It would be good to have some successful business people in instead of lawyers. -not large corporate business people,

 This probably isn't relevant to this thread

Don't make a virtue out of Ignorance, Siso. Pauline hasn't  got what it takes. It should take more than racial hatred to lead a Country. She attracts other LOSERS to Her and is JUST Murdoch and Gina's puppet., and will do what THEY want.   Nev

[pmccarthy]

Pauline has been more enduring as a politician and a leader than just about every other politician in Australia. She must be doing something right.

[Siso]

Who mentioned Pauline?
