Wrong.  Multiculturalism fosters the creation of an umbrella, Australian Multicultural Culture, where all member cultures are accorded equality in how they are regarded by society and the legal system.   Australia is made up of numerous member cultures now.

For whom?

Brian Ross wrote on Nov 18^th, 2017 at 3:18pm:


"all men are created equal, some more equal than others"

Does the above relate to christians or only muslims?

Islam? What else is on a par with this assertion of yours?

What you want does not matter, Soren.   You are but one, lonely voice out there.   What the Australian Government does is what matters.   Multiculturalism accords all cultures equal status under the law.   Danish is just one culture, amongst many.   Time you faced facts, Soren, Multiculturalism is here to stay.  It is not going to disappear overnight, no matter how much you and your Xenophobes scream about it.  It works for the majority of Australians, the majority of the time and that is all that can be asked of any Government policy.

As long as the actions of the adherents to a particular culture are within the laws of Australia, there is no reason to discourage people from adhering to them, Soren.    

Islam, BTW is a religion, not a culture, per se.  It overlays the underlying culture, in exactly the same way as Christianity does.  There are Indonesian Muslims, Malay Muslims, Bangladeshi Muslims, Indian Muslims, Pakistani Muslims, Afghan Muslims, Iranian, Iraqi, Central Asian, Turkish, Lebanese, Jordanian, Egyptian, Libyan, to name a few.   They are all subtly different in their cultures and their application of their religion, just as Christians differ often quite radically in theirs.   You'd know more claim that a Sephardic Jew was the same to an Ashkenazi Jew or a Lutheran Christian was the same as a Roman Catholic or an Eastern Orthodox Christian.   

Oh, and I'd have thought, after the failure, yet again for the PHONies with their anti-Multicultural message this weekend in the Queensland election, just as they failed 20 years ago federally as they did a few months ago in Western Australia, you'd finally get the message - Australians like Multiculturalism.

Spoken like a true racist, Soren.   You condemn yourself from your own fingers.  Tsk, tsk. when are you moving back to Denmark.  Oh, wait, the Danes are now Multicultural as well.   Indeed, there is only two nations which are monocultural - Iceland and Japan and guess what?  You wouldn't be welcome in either of them, now would you?  Nor could you feel at home.   You'll just have to move to some uninhabited island.  I know, how about Gruinard Island?  Uninhabited, you could live there all by yourself and be happy, Soren.

True.  However, they are only subsidiary aspects of the dominant cultures that they hail from, Soren.  Their cultures must, as I have said, work within the Australian legal system.   Those aspects need to be abandoned.  Something I have never denie, if you had read everything I have said (which I doubt).

I have never claimed that "all cultures are equal", Soren.  I have made the the point that, before the Australian law, all cultures are accorded equal status.  The legal system cannot favour Anglo-Saxon/Celtic derived Settler culture over that of say, Italian derived Australian culture or Greek derived Australian culture or Danish derived Australian culture or South African derived Australian culture or Jordanian derived Australian culture or Vietnamese derived Australian culture or any other derived Australian culture.
