Just thought I'd remind all here 97% of us are migrants or children of migrants

Also to reflect on the second verse of our national anthem:

Beneath our radiant Southern Cross
We’ll toil with hearts and hands;
To make this Commonwealth of ours
Renowned of all the lands;
For those who’ve come across the seas
We’ve boundless plains to share;
With courage let us all combine
To Advance Australia Fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia Fair.

A lot are a result of self inflicted stupidity - importing Pakistanis in the 60s and kids of them - since then the population has exploded, rat lines of illegals coming via EU, shonky refugees from just about every corner of the globe etc.

I'm also of the view that anyone who is not an Australian citizen or has dual nationality should be deported if they're convicted of any crime which carries a maximum penalty of 12 months or more in gaol. They don't necessarily have to get 12 months in the bin but if the maximum sentence is 12 months or greater then goodbye Charlie. Citizenship should only be given to those who have been here for at least 10 years, have a clean record and can demonstrate they've been self supporting for 3 of the last 5 years....otherwise they should stay on a resident's visa which can be cancelled if they get themselves in the shit.

Or you could just give Shanghai Sam Dastiri a call , donate 200k to him and he will do a ring around of the Passport Office for you and get one quicker.

hahaha...yes good old Sam has done it again...I wonder if he'll wriggle his way out of this one like he did the last?

Politicians and their greed have caused these problems.
They bomb countries kill innocents, displace people for oil etc.
By displacing = refugees, killing innocent ppl = hatred
End result people on the street innocent people get caught in the cross fire, people who mean well.
Bloody politics.

Something in what your saying Demon 2013.As big a murderer and tyrant that Sadam Hussain was.He did keep control of his country.His Republican Guard would of smashed Isis or any other Terrorist group in Iraq.The Middle East might of been better off with him still there.Iraq 2 is now 15 years old with no end in sight.

Saddam was an evil mass murderer in truth though and a friend of terrorists as much as Iraq was more stable. Afghanistan was under Taliban rule also evil in its purest form. The Americans might have been better staying out of it letting Saddam take over the Middle East. But in reality this fight against militant Islam was coming regardless. This is a phenomenon now that will last as long as there is anyone left.

LB There is a lot of truth in your post; I oppossed the attack on Iraq because of the ballance of power question, but at the same time, the end result of the war freed the majority Shiite population from a tyranny. The problem is that, whether people like it or not, it is only American power which has held ISIS at bay. Therefore, ideas put about by Corbin that, the West should withdraw, his supporters should realise, would lead to ISIS rule across much of the Middle East.

So your solution is group hugs while singing "koombya"?
These pricks are mindless killers, time to forget political correctness and do something positive.
I have a good solution, but it would make most people faint....it worked with dingoes up north though!!!
