I am all for migration, I think its a good thing.

Oh, yes. And they would just happen to be nice white people too.

I'm no racist!

Care to show me where my post refers to the race of the people.
It referred definitely to skillset and origin of countries where the education level is markedly better than others.

But nope, nothing on race of the people at all....

Come on, Andre. You're among friends here. No need to play to the stalls.

We're a white country. The Aboriginals were a momentary aberation.

Multiculturalism is a brief aberation. In a couple of years time, we'll be back to the White Australia Policy, Lord be praised.

Oh please Karnal....(although I think you're joking) Australia is NOT a 'white country'....

It's Not? Since when?

Umm since about 40,000 years ago.....

Australia 'might' have a white CULTURE, but the country isn't white, the Aboriginals were here FIRST...

Quote:

the majority agree with the treaty signed in 1952 by LIBERAL PM PIG IRON BOB MENZIES.

The original treaty was designed to deal with people displaced by World War 2. Mostly Europeans.

I read somewhere the other day that the treaty was modified in the early 70's to allow the 'free for all' situation we have today and Gough Whitlam agreed to the changes on behalf of Australia (with no consultation with the Australian people, of course).

I'd like to read that,where did you read it?
Did Pig iron Bob have a referendum on all the jews coming after the war?
You see non of what you write makes sense, Harold Holt was the Liberal PM who canned the WHITE AUSTRALIA POLICY in 1967.

I doubt very much 80% of Australians are in favour of illegal immigration, people smuggling, irresponsible/unsustainable migration and immigration in general unless it's sustainable, unless you read "left green weekly", and believe their sugar coated rubbish. The rapid retreat from a large Australia by lib/lab at the last election shows the majority of Australians do not favour the open boarder to refugees approach.

Get the message!

The Greens were rewarded at the last election with more votes, but then again, so were the far right, so....

Funny thing is, I'm more inclined to believe it than not seeing as its a pretty close call at the moment trying to decide which is the most incompetent ALP Federal Government ever - Gough Whitlam's or Kevin Rudd/Julia Gillard's.

I actually posted the article months ago, re- the 80% figure, to which you immediately dismissed and argued that the opinion poll was biased, so....

Take a hint Skip, Australians have had their fill of illegal immigrants.

Even if GALP require them to vote yes for a republic at the next referendum.
