The only people who are worried about Australian "culture," being overrun by foreigners are racist (usually locally born German/Celtic) whites; and considering the amount of violence that I experienced at their hands while living in Sunbury, despite being a white individual myself, I have absolutely no sympathy for them.
There was one particular incident in Cronulla in 2005 I think it was, where they may have had some vague degree of justification, but that is about it. From memory some Pakistani or Lebanese Muslims tried to forcefully tell some women wearing bikinis to cover up; and more or less the entire neighbourhood exploded.
The other thing to keep in mind, however, is the fact that the "culture," they're worried about losing, isn't actually a culture at all.

In Oz I think we should have a law that says if you dont speak basic english within 6 months you lose your visa and get sent home. Anyone who moves to Australia without wanting to be Aussie should be sent packing.
Six months isn't exactly a lot of time to learn a language; particularly one as complex as English.edit on 3-9-2011 by petrus4 because: (no reason given)

I'm sorry, but im living in australia currently, i'm not australian, but im not sure where you get "a christian country" from but this place isn't, it's easily the most anti christian, anti social, rude, people who love contradictions, and people who operate with double standards on a daily basis, and people who love being an ass and its the most miserable place with the dumbest people on the planet living here.
Technology is backward, education is backward, the style of thinking is backward, topped of with rude, and anti social people.
You know here in university, there are barely any aussies attending, it's basically "foreigners" who make up the majority of the university population, "true ausseis" make up a small percentage of people in university, not surprising, since you wouldn't get in.
And it's not asians or arabs, it mainly folks from eastern europe, russia etc, who are attending.
I go to Swinburne University btw, which is a 2nd tier school, i could get into a 1st top tier school, but it's pretty expensive, just like everything else in this country plus Swin has a destination i want to study abroad at anyways, the AUD dollar is nearly equal to the USD, yet things here are 300% more expensive in australia, it's ridiculous.
It should be pretty much the same price as the US, maybe even cheaper since the AUD was stronger than the USD, for some time a few months ago.
Schooling is $10k+ without books, im just glad i got in with an academic scholarship, now it's just 3k for the books.
So this country would be nothing without foreigners, other than low I.Q'd tradies, extremely rude, dumbass patriots who drape that ugly looking flag on their backs for a cape, and the other anti social people.

Nah mate, I've just lived here for 50 years..
But it's odd that you have stayed here for 12 with that attitude..
Obviously there's something you want from Australia..
BTW, what nationality are you that is so much smarter than the average Australian??
See thats the thing, if i point out why and how australia is bad, the response is always "go home", you refuse to acknowledge it.

Yes but only when someone rants away with zero facts to backup their claims..
Like you are aware that just last week Melbourne was voted the world's most liveable city??
Hardly a cesspool of violence and morons.

You talking rubbish again.
Let me make it quite clear. I too am an immigrant here, I've lived here in Australia 30 years and I love the Aussie culture, their funny quirkiness and dry bloody humour.
Australians are rude and anti social.
If any immigrant does'nt like Australia, let me know and I'll email you a map from your town or city to your nearest international airport anywhere in Australia.
The Australians are the most charitable and tolerant of all nations on earth. If you live in an area that is flooded or burnt down......you are going to count your lucky stars you have Australian neighbours to help you out no matter who you are. You won't find that in India, Pakistan or any of the Arab nations.
Just because you were born on this planet, it does'nt give you a green card in to this country.
I don't have a chip on my shoulder, australia is just a damn awful place to live, there is nothing good about this place, im simply pointing it out, your blind patriotic-ness disallows you from seeing this.
