Give the people a voice.
Put forward a referendum and lets see what happens.
For decades now, starting in the schools, a culture of anti-nationalist self-abnegation through mass-immigration of people who do not resemble Westerners in any shape or form has been tirelessly lectured into the public consciousness by teachers, politicians, academics, media commentators, professional social engineers, the 'Arts' crowd - and from the ordinary committed Leftwingers who live amongst us in the suburbs.
To oppose the destruction of the 'British' Australia that existed before the post-war mass-immigrations is enough cause to be hissed and boo-ed at by these new generations of Anglo-Celtics who have been carefully coached to react in such a way.
Any referendum wouldn't have the remotest chance of showing a majority want a stop to Muslim immigration, or any other kind of immigration.
The Labor Party is ahead in the polls, fercrissake!

The public is an idiot that doesn't learn from history or even the lessons of commonsense.
it is an odd situation Herb and one must wonder what is driving it.
certainly china, japan , south korea, singapore do not seem to feel the need for mass immigration .
And a country like Japan probably needs it !!!.
They always say you should follow the money.
I think in the USA it is about cheap labour for business and in other western countries it is to do with keeping the economy ticking over by more housing, contruction spending etc.
what is odd is that the lefties are so supportive of this.
Big Business is benefitting.
The poor are being squeezed as services must be shared amongst a much larger pool and
the environment must be getting degraded by urban sprawl, more need for polluting construction and destruction of habitat.
I dont think they realise they are being "played"
i have no real problem with migrants as , if they come from a poor country , they may well be willing to work their ass*es off.
But the universal approval of this by lefties is peculiar.
I cant quite get into their heads to see what emotional buttons this is pushing. Freud needs to sit them down and analyse them deeply and get back to us
