Al these politicians mentioned are examples of successful assimilation, not multiculturalism. If multiculturalism had been official policy when young Joe Hockey was growing up you can bet he would still be working in some dead end job (or on the dole) instead of being an influential political leader.

UMMMMM, multiculturism was official policy when joe was growing up, it was introduced in 1972 when Joe was only a little pup. He in fact benefited from it,sheesh, why do people write things before they know the facts.

Joe hockey was born in Australia in 1965. he would have grown up in an assimilated environment before the evils of multiculturalism had a chance to take hold. Why do people fail to see the facts. Roll Eyes

Multiculturalism has failed - Get used to the idea. Grin

7 years old is hardly grown up,Einstein. Roll Eyes

Why do some people just love to show off their stupidity.

a bit like anna bligh last night im 50 years old and i remember FFS

Rudd or Howard?

I'm trying to decide which party to list LAST in my preferences in the next Federal election. -Based on how supportive these two men are of multiculturalism.

By now, every non-delusional Australian is well aware of the dangers of multiculturalism and the trouble it can bring to our society.

I'm going to vote for the man who's LEAST supportive of multiculturalism.

Howard has shown much opposition to multiculturalism in the past (Encouraging integration etc), but at the same time has been extremely contradictory, baselessly stating continuously that multiculturalism is 'beneificial' to our society.

Rudd on the other hand I'm admittedly unfamiliar with. Hopefully, he'll oppose multiculturalism, but signs aren't looking to good as the ALP are notorious for a pro-multiculturalism stance.

So, are one of these men less supportive of multiculturalism than the other? That is, of course, if they aren't both equally supportive of multiculturalism.

Responding to a report prepared by Fitzgerald into multiculturalism Bob Hawke said something like: multiculturalism will enrichen the tepestry of the Australian way of life.

I hope you're not going to tell us that it isn't working. Just close your eyes and pretend all is well.

The ALP, the progressive party, the party of ideas, the workers' friend, is the only Australian political party to roast four young Australians in roof cavities. SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!

He also called high qualified and skilled professionals who were seeking an honest, fair increase (with public support) - 'glorified bus drivers'.

He epitomised everything I dislike about Labor and the riff-raff they represent.

It makes no difference where a person is born, re the multiculturalism debate. I know quite a fer immigrants who themselves stress the risks involved with too much racial mixing. A lot of these people left countries destroyed by inter racial hatred, and can see the same thing happening here.

WAKE UP AUSTRALIA! Don`t destroy the country just for the sake of a cowardly feelgood!

As was discussed a few days ago it was a GOAL not a promise.
What have you got against setting a high goal & working towards that????

This multiculturalism thing is a joke. We dont need to cut multicultralism, we need tougher courts and build a few more jails. Maybe then we can weed out the crap of all parts of society and we dont run the risk of anyone being targeted as trouble.

A PM setting a completely unattainable goal?
Yes I do.
It confuses the masses and they think it will happen.

In the elections in South Africa, was it fair for the ANC to promise that everyone would "live like the white people have done"?

So you had uneducated, illiterate bantus thinking when the Government changed they would all have BMW cars etc.

It's the same thing.

Politicians should set goals, but they should be realistic.

You quoted Kennedy the other day. You think he would have made that statement without knowing full well the Apollo program was well under way and had set a goal of 1968 already for a moon landing?
To equate Hawke's to that, Kennedy would have declared we would follow it up with a landing on Mars by 1980.

Governor a model of refugee made good

February 22, 2011

ALEX Chernov's story is anything but ordinary. Victoria's 28th Governor came to Australia as a 10-year-old boy fleeing war-torn Lithuania after the advancing Red Army killed his father.

Not able to speak English, he remembered being struck by the strange sight of men eating food from newspapers -- fish and chips -- and he had a tendency to skip school.

He went on to have a career as a lawyer, barrister, Supreme Court judge, Court of Appeal judge and then deputy chancellor and chancellor at the University of Melbourne.

But when Mr Chernov was announced by Victorian Premier Ted Baillieu yesterday as the state's new Governor, he was reluctant to speak about his extraordinary life journey.

"I don't want to dwell too much on my past," he told reporters, as his wife, Elizabeth Hopkins, their three children and six grandchildren looked on.

"But I was fortunate to have been brought up in a home where there was great emphasis on ethics, spiritual and ethical development and, importantly, broad education and hard work.

Those lessons have stood me in good stead.
I followed them pretty much all my life."

Mr Chernov, born in 1938 to Russian parents, was described by Mr Baillieu as a great success story of multiculturalism.

His grandfather, murdered by the Bolsheviks, was a minister in Russia's short-lived provisional government established after the 1917 February revolution.

"Alex Chernov brings to the role of governor a wonderful, wonderful story. A story of humble beginnings, a lifetime of hard work, great success and community service at the highest level."

http://www.perthnow.com.au/news/top-stories/governor-a-model-of-refugee-made-goo...

Fine choice, Mr Baillieu
Though the anti-refugee lobby and critics of multiculturalism may disagree
Thumbs up, on this one

Perhaps you should apply the SAME standard to former Premiers and Lord Mayors in Victoria - rather than diving straight in with racial slurs ?

I DETEST racism in ANY form

A constant reference to former Premier Steve Bracks as a "grease monkey - due to his Lebanese heritage - is not valid political comment

The same for the record, popularly elected, former Lord Mayor John - based on his Chinese origins

Racist comments are a breach of the rules of these boards

I missed that reference, in fact I didn't know that Bracks was of Lebanese extraction - ALL of us are descendant of migrants, unless we are full blood aboriginals.
