Not necessarily...

Under Scott Morrison, immigrant numbers first peaked at 618,300 in March 2020. 
In June last year (2023) under Labor, numbers peaked at 737,170.  Labor's higher
numbers are accounted for by the post-COVID influx of migrants after June 2021.

Both major parties have been complicit in the mass immigration program -
all done without the support of the Australian people.

The sexual revolutionaries wanted to liberate sexual relations from all but the merest biological content. Henceforth such relations were not to be subject to restrictive bourgeois contractual arrangements—or, heaven forbid, sacraments—such as marriage; no social stigma was to attach to any sexual conduct that had hitherto been regarded as reprehensible. The only criterion governing the acceptability of sexual relations was the mutual consent of those entering upon them: no thought of duty to others (one's own children, for example) was to get in the way of the fulfillment of desire. Sexual frustration that resulted from artificial social obligations and restrictions was the enemy, and hypocrisy—the inevitable consequence of holding people to any standard of conduct whatsoever—was the worst sin.


That the heart wants contradictory, incompatible things; that social conventions arose to resolve some of the conflicts of our own impulses; that eternal frustration is an inescapable concomitant of civilization, as Freud had observed—all these recalcitrant truths fell beneath the notice of the proponents of sexual liberation, dooming their revolution to ultimate failure.


The failure hit the underclass hardest. Not for a moment did the sexual liberators stop to consider the effects upon the poor of the destruction of the strong family ties that alone made emergence from poverty possible for large numbers of people. They were concerned only with the petty dramas of their own lives and dissatisfactions. But by obstinately overlooking the most obvious features of reality, as did my 17-year-old patient who thought that men's superior physical strength was a socially constructed sexist myth, their efforts contributed in no small part to the intractability of poverty in modern cities, despite vast increases in the general wealth: for the sexual revolution has turned the poor from a class into a caste, from which escape is barred so long as that revolution continues.

Well, you are a moron, Bbwian, so what you surmise is always wrong. There  is zero reference to religion, fundamentalist or otherwise, in that extreact or indeed the entire article. But you being a Bbwianesque ijit, you will always get the crappy end of any stick - even if it doesn't exist!

No.

There is a class of women who have 4 kids from 7 different fathers. You read about them as victims on the ABC.

There are 10s of 1000s of them -
they don't even know the names of the fathers.   

4 kiss or  4 kids?
