Black Red Devil Posted August 15, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 15, 2018 (edited) 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! Edited August 15, 2018 by Black Red Devil 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aztek Posted August 15, 2018 #4 Share Posted August 15, 2018 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.

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. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrLzs Posted August 16, 2018 #12 Share Posted August 16, 2018 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.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Hammerclaw Posted August 16, 2018 #22 Share Posted August 16, 2018 pleb·i·scite [ˈplebəˌsīt] NOUN plebiscites (plural noun) the direct vote of all the members of an electorate on an important public question such as a change in the constitution. "the administration will hold a plebiscite for the approval of constitutional reforms" synonyms: vote · referendum · ballot · poll roman history a law enacted by the plebeians' assembly. ORIGIN mid 16th century (referring to Roman history): from French plébiscite, from Latin plebiscitum, from plebs, pleb- ‘the common people’ + scitum ‘decree’ (from sciscere ‘vote for’). The sense ‘direct vote of the whole electorate’ dates from the mid 19th century. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
