Re: Australian Identity. What Is It?

Problem is you informed on nothing close to the reality. A country full of hate. Really I wonder if you have, if been there at all, ventured out side the airport bar?


You are quite correct...

Re: Australian Identity. What Is It?

You really need to take a back seat and listen to those of us that actually know what we are talking about.

That's by the way. The real shit is those that preach constant intolerance and hatred in subtle forms to create mischief.

Re: Australian Identity. What Is It?

You need to look at the entire picture though but basically true. It has been in place since the 70's and came about after the 69 communal riots , when several hundred Chinese were killed and the...

Re: Australian Identity. What Is It?

Just furthers my argument that Australia has a way to go before reclassifying itself as a multicultural country. Ethnic Chinese now make up about a million in the country. Easy to kick start the...
