Senator honours White Australia Policy

[Black Red Devil]

 

Quote

The Katter's Australian Party senator, formerly of One Nation, used his first speech to the Senate on Tuesday to lament the demise of "our predominantly European identity" of the 1950s and '60s.

As a remedy, the Queensland senator proposed radical changes to Australia's immigration program, including a "drastic" cut to the annual migrant intake and the resumption of discrimination based on race.

"Diversity should be managed to remain compatible with social cohesion and national identity," he said. "We as a nation are entitled to insist that those who are allowed to come here predominantly reflect the historic European-Christian composition of Australian society." link

 

I wonder what the aborigines think about his euro-christian proposal? 

Also, Bob Katter, the founder of this far Right Party, is of Lebanese origins!

There is a group in the American Midwest called "One Nation United" which wants to disband tribal governments and empty reserves. It sounds like he's on a similar vein.

It sounds to me like the pot calling the kettle non-white.

well he is a senator democratically elected by people, right? so when you vote for him, you let him do what he sees fit. if aborigines do not like it, they can have one of them run and work on their behalf.  elections have consequences.

It's like the whole world has gone mad.

It's a crazy mindset in this day and age, specially in lands that initially belonged to non white Europeans....

In fact, this was his maiden speech, his introduction into politics.  Condemned by the PM and the main opposition leader in Parliament as well. This guy entered the political arena with a bang and will probably exit it with a wobbly fizz.

Yeah, over here in the US, I find myself wondering who Piney thinks the "illegals" are. 

Lol.

Like...all of us.

Probably....but we are grandfathered in and he doesn't hold a grudge, unless you personally cross him.

The difference here in Oz (and hopefully it remains so) is that yes, a few racists and lunatics may sneak into parliamentary positions, but once they fully reveal themselves... they generally do not rise any further, let alone get into the highest positions of power.

Not so in some notable countries....

Hmm.. what - exactly - did he say that was so objectionable ?

Yes, 19 whole ****ing people voted for him.

not 19%, 19. As in “fewer people than you or I have fingers and toes”. 

But, because we have had a cluster**** over citizenship (yuo can’t be a dual citizen and in parliament) bloody everyone else was ruled out.

 

Donald Bloody Duck got more votes than Anning.

Well, we sort of have a few hold ups over the words “White Australia Policy”, so invoking it sort of riles the populous. Except for the 19 mouth breathers who voted for Anning, obviously.

Apart from the racist White Australia policy that sort of goes against the principles of multiculturalism which Australia holds in high regards, there are a variety of Visas under the migration program that are provided to foreigners who invest or study in Australia.  Most of these foreigners come from Asia whose countries we trade heavily with.  But, his attribute to the "Final solution" through a plebiscite was what irritated the leading political parties. 

Basically a plebiscite is similar to a referendum where money is spent to test out the waters of the populace.  Knowing how Aussies think, it would be a futile exercise and waste of money on a proposal raised by a racist politician of an extreme party which would be detrimental to any major political party in favor of such an outdated idea.

Oooh right... gotcha.. thanks for that BRD. 

Sooooo...... there would be no problem - other than the expenditure of money - in holding the plebiscite ? Just to confirm what people REALLY think, as opposed to what the metropolitan elite in Sydney think ? You know.. just to prove that the whole idea of managed immigration is disproved of, and all that ?

Obviously, only the "metropolitan elite" would find something wrong with "White Australian policy" and "final solution." 

Lol. 

Couldn't be anybody else.

No, it means that there are three negatives and no positives, it (White Australia Policy) is bad for business, it's a waste of time and it's racially motivated which goes against what Australia stands for.

Well then... surely the plebiscite would clear that up, and demonstrate what Australia actually stands for ?

Probably... but these days, you nevah know... I seem to recall a guy who was mocked mercilessly from the moment he rode down his escalator to announce his first political run.  The Left still don't seem to grasp that all this upheaval isn't about crazy leaders as much as it's about disaffected, angry voters who are feeling marginalized, if not actually ignored.  The Trump phenomenon was created by a Prog overreach during 8 years of power.  If Barry had said no to his environmentalists and union donors a little more often, he'd have had much better economic numbers and HRC might well have won.  Instead, she got smacked by a backlash of anger in the very states she ignored and took for granted.  When one group within a body politic decides they can control the other through various means of force, it always ends badly.
