Under our deceitful 'Preferential Voting' system the dice are loaded to ensure that one of the Big Two always wins the elections. It's a fixed horse race every time.

You can vote One Nation, or The Stormtrooper Party, or the Australian Neo-Nazi Party ~ whatever ~ and their votes will accrue to the Liberals in the final washup.

And as you so rightly say, because of political collusion over policies between the Tweedle-dee and Tweedle-dum parties of Labor and Liberal ~ ~ the Australian people are being criminally denied a genuine and effect Opposition Party.

Democracy depends for its very existence upon a system of adversarial government in which there is a genuine Opposition party that has alternative policies to that of the incumbents. 

What we have in Australia is a phoney democracy in which two parties with nearly identical policies take turns at playing the governing party.

It's all a fraud and a charade in which a whole list of social policies are never given a chance to be voted upon. Agreements signed with the UN have effectively robbed the Australian electorate of their sovereign democracy.

Its really very simple Herb. One Nation offered a very specific anti-asian immigration/ anti-multiculturalism platform. The Australian public had a very specific opportunity to vote against the current immigration regime. They got around 10% of the vote at the 98 federal election. Or to put it another way, 90% of the electorate rejected their discriminatory platform. Other anti immigration parties and movements have come and gone.

Also, polls have consistently demonstrated support for multiculturalism. If there really was a groundswell of opinion against muslim immigration that you claim, the message would get through to even the politicians from the main parties. But apart from a bit of dog whistling against boat people - specifically aimed only at key electorates in western Sydney - the political momentum you seem to think exists for a discriminatory immigration policy, simply doesn't exist.

Towards the end of the second invasion of Iraq, they held their first democratic election ever. 8 million very brave Iraqi souls queued up at the polling booths across Iraq to register their vote. They risked mass-murder at the hands of the insurgents and their own religious sectarians.

And then a strange piece of news appeared in our Sydney Daily Telegraph and on the evening news.

Auburn is our main Sydney Muslim enclave/ghetto. Our government had set up voting booths in a hall in one of these Auburn streets to allow for Iraqi immigrants and refugees to participate in this Iraqi election as Overseas Postal Votes.

Just after dark, while Iraqis were still going into vote, a car-load of Muslims arrived to park opposite the hall, and from there, with a car door open, a man with a revolver threatened anyone attempting to enter the hall to vote - to not do so.

The police were called, and the riot squad arrived.

The car was shooed off, and a couple of police were then posted at the entrance to the hall.

It was feared by this/these gunmen that the voters were voting for Sunnis and not Shia ... or Shia and not Sunni ... whichever.

The point is that this was a demonstration of how 'multiculturalism' is not always the soft-and-fluffy toy bunny that people think it is.

Where Muslims are concerned, it's often a call-to-arms, and there's a lot of macho hairy-chest beating.

In fact, even some of their women are known to go in for this macho hairy-chest beating.

Stop fighting it, gandalf.

We in the West enjoy a moderately free press, and consequently certain 'unsavoury' and politically incorrect truths are still allowed to come to the attention of the public.

Once the internet gets into the control of international censorship, then you will win every argument. I will then have no politically incorrect sources to draw upon.

Some Muslims may think that way, Herbie.  You have, as usual, presented NO evidence that ALL Muslims think that way.

Rebellious of WHAT?

After 1400 years these Islamic Third World sand-bunnies have suddenly found themselves growing up and living in a First World democracy with cutting-edge technology and a social welfare system that Lenin would have killed for.   

What the hell have these rock apes got to be ANGRY about?

There's nothing stopping them from cancelling their Australian citizenship and migrating back to the Middle East.

But we won't see them do that, will we .... gandalf.

And we both know WHY, don't we?

Muslims? ~ 'Hypocrisy' be thy name.

While they pray five times a day to Allah, they reserve their most ardent prayers for the worship of Mammon.
