Australia was relatively 'invisible' until it went off killing people & shouting from the roof tops "We are a great country with vast wealth & plenty of elbow room."

Now we are witnessing an ever increasing rise in refugees that cannot be 'turned back'.  The genie is out of the bottle.  Australia is a mean selfish country.  You have vastness that can be filled.  Instead of thinking forward you want to cling to your colonial past.  Learn to swim with the tide for mutual advantage or be swept away.
