lifecitizen point i believe was white australian culture, correct me if i'm wrong.
You link just proved her point, its goes on about adoriginal culture, western anglo culture. but not a great deal about white australian culture. Cultural icons like opera house wasn't designed/made by us. Have a beer, throw some shrimp on the bbq, catch a barra, wear your thongs stubbies and singlet arren,t great examples of culture. Dead horse tomato sauce, sky rocket in the poket mate.

One of the biggest issues facing mankind in the not so distant future will be migration.
For people here that want to keep Australia all to yourself.....good luck with that -try not to think about how close Indonesia and New Guinea are to us, loledit on 30-6-2011 by lifecitizen because: addition
So you think Indonesia and PNG will invade us? they might try and they might die,the PNGDF has 2100 people all up,no fighter jets,4 patrol boats and 2 landing craft, they couldnt invade squat,The Indo's would fair better,maybe take Darwin but then what ?
You wanna see Aussie's fire up about something ? Invade us and threaten our way of life,we will come out swinging,
Aussies fire up? surely you jest. most are too fat to move.
For all those against multi culture and going on about how our culture being threatened- can I just ask what culture? as far as I'm aware we dont have one. All we are known for is Vegemite and that we drink and swear too much.
I hope none of you eat Thai, Greek, Italian, Malaysian, Lebanese etc etc food because they're not Aussie you know.

Our culture is multicultural, read the first paragraph of your link Guessing.
What? you don't believe we would fight against foreign military invaders? surely you jest, Nah we have no culture,lifestyle or anything like do we? I really don't know what the hell take away food has to do with anything,do countries with "culture" not partake in eating food from other countries?
By one world government I do not want to see a big brother, totalitarian, cybernetic dictatorship. As a realist there are many big global problems that needs a global front if they are to be addressed. There are many risks with such centralised power, but if oversight, transparency, accountability and discussion can be increased over the minimalist approach currently in play I am open to it....

Of course we have a lifestyle- generally speaking we are laid back, we like to drink, we like to swear, watch the footy and cricket, have bbqs and hang out for our rostered days off.
We have an indigenous culture which we cant claim as ours.
My point with the food was, if [some] people here hate immigrants so much you would think you would have a problem with eating their food. To alot of the different nationalities here, food is a big part of their culture.
My point about how close Indonesia etc was, as global warming/climate change continues to happen, humans will be forced to migrate, just like we have always done.
There's how many of them? and how many of us?
This isnt going to happen tomorrow but there's nothing surer than earth changes and nothing surer than human migration. We are going to have to work something out before that time or we're here for the taking.
Attitudes towards refugees/ boat people will have to change, Im appalled at the lack of compassion a lot of Aussies have towards such people. ffs we all smile in the same language!
