Yes I do and I like it - although it hasn't always been that way.  Who wants confrontations, stress, resentment and anger in their lives.  If you work with people you don't like - change jobs.  If you don't like your neighbours - move.  If you don't like the country you've moved to - go back home.

There are solutions to all problems and although I haven't had the same exposure to "enclaves" the way I would have if I lived in Lakemba or Cabramatta - I have no problem with new Australians moving into my area.  If they want to talk or ask me questions - I'm always happy to have a chat - but I'm the same with everyone whether they're black, white or brindle.  I've had 3 decades to get used to multiculturalism.  We can't change it - so let's accept it.

Actually mantra under those governments dissent was not allowed and people were vilified and discriminated against, for holding opinions that were not acceptable to the progressive left and multiculturalists.

How so? Did they laugh at you or something? How many people got jailed for voicing their disagreement with government policy?

Yes I've heard this is a common occurrence, not just amongst the Lebanese - and it is unfortunate if the neighbours are terrible.  We also have "trashy 2nd, 3rd generation etc. neighbours from hell as well.

But nothing is going to change now and even those who are here and find it difficult to integrate - or even choose not to integrate -  their children will.  

Different races don't seem to be so much the problem as different religions which many are so resentful about.  Pauline Hanson didn't want any more Asians - then when she made a comeback it was Muslims.

The mistake governments have made is not the anti-vilification laws - but the different laws for the different religions.

There is only one religion I feel very resentful towards and that is the Exclusive Bretheren.  They don't have to vote or have their kids integrate with others.  We have the State & Federal Governments giving them $22 million a year - yet they boast they are wealthy and don't allow "non Bretheren" children to attend their schools.  They are not subject to our IR laws - they can virtually do their own thing.  There are suspicions of money laundering, not to mention their devious,  fraudulent persecution of a political party that doesn't suit their agenda.

Name one other religion in Australia which is such a useless and vicious drain on our society?

I'll stop the Bretheren crap if you stop the ON crap - deal.  As far as obsessing - this is the first time I've mentioned them in ages - but thought it was relevant.  I think you would be the one considered more obsessive about ON.  At least the feral Bretheren are still thriving.

What race or religion are they?

Yes sure Grendel.  I've got a sick obsession with the Bretheren.  There are dozens of threads on this forum devoted to pages and pages of information about their sordid and twisted practises.

I don't think so....

Look - be realistic.  ON is no longer relevant.  No-one remembers their policies anymore and maybe once in a blue moon some miniscule reference might be made about them.

Hanson is occasionally in the news but that's because she's a "celebrity" now - not because of her history with ON.  Sorry - they're the facts.

Yes OK Grendel.  I'm glad the thread was an obituary, although it's taking a long time to be read.

But you have devoted a lot of time previously to ON & their policies and it's no big deal - but don't accuse me of obsessing over the Bretheren.   

I rarely mention them - although when the book comes out about them - maybe I should post it page by page on a thread.  Then you can call me obsessive.

Speak for yourself eh Grendel. Or, you could back up those claims. So, other than laughing at you, what did they actually do? Were people assassinated for speaking out? Were people jailed for having the wrong views? It sounds to me like you are just bitter for having your views exposed for what they are, so you are building some absurd conspiracy around it.
