From the same post, ya dick-head....
"in Australia there was understanding between leaders that this was vital for the security of our children, and that therefore racial issues were off-limits in the political arena."
Bi-partisan all the way... 'security of our children'... what a load of bollocks.... gunfire in the streets, tax evasion, home invasion, rorting of much-needed services for those with the least, inability to house them all, homelessness and tent cities, the consequent reality that the future for many in retirement means zero super, inability of infrastructure to cope with the numbers, social division, robber baron third world mentality in which anything goes for a dollar, gang warfare, unsafe streets, piss-poor drivers, affirmative action offering opportunities for those given the nod to bring in more of their own, over-crowding of cities and the lead-in to swimming in and drinking their own sh

Here's some sense for you - "let's close the timber mills at Tumut and Cobargo and globalise timber needed for construction, get it from Nu Zulland and South America..." .... so now all you can get - IF you can get it - is plantation pine - no decent timbers - and it costs twice as much. I was building at the time this went through.... the cost of pine products immediately rose by about 30% and then began to sky-rocket... the timber mill at Eden closed.... the trucks that run the highways and by-ways there run to the wood chip mill, which grinds up all those hard and semi-hard woods, which are then shipped Offshore and processed, so you can buy cheap reconstituted timber that will fall apart if wet, at a massive increased price due to 'value added' by shipping Offshore and back and 'manufacturing' Offshore at Third World standards and pay rates - none of which helps Australia.
Everything is rosy in Old Australia..... and all to prop up the leaner industry of house grabbing, and to support construction as the primary industry regardless of cost in the globalised market for materials since Australia doesn't produce its own any more for 'environmental' (more mental) reasons.
Short-sighted and parochial 'thinking' to the max...... even your pet Abos don't want immigrants, Phil - why do you persist with the ad homs while crying that others use them and while ignoring reality right in front of you?
FFS - wake up, Phil!! You are, like most fools, creating enemies of the only friends you've got....
