I emigrated to Australia over 60 years ago - On the ship there were British (Poms), Italians (Spags), Germans (Huns), Yugoslavs (Yuges), Poles, Dutch (Ducchys), Ukes (Ukrainians) and Greeks (Wogs). (Note - All European people!!) all looking forward to starting a new life in Australia.
I arrived with 30 quid in my pocket and that's all I had to my name. Did I put my hand out?? Of course not - I got a job and paid my way just like everyone else who came to this country back then.
Now, it's my taxes that subsidize these people who think they have God's given right (read Allah) to come here and criticise those of us who have worked for the country we now call home.
If I didn't like what I saw when I got here I would have gone home - they have the same option.
If they don't want to become an Australian, they can GO BACK TO WHERE THEY CAME FROM
WE DON'T NEED THEM HERE!!!
When will this stop?
They want 2 of their own public holidays, because Christians have Christmas, Easter & Good Friday.
Just this year Victoria did not hold November 11 as Remembrance Day in case it offended the new migrants.
They force our children to eat Halal Meat Pies and Sausage Rolls from the school canteens, so the Muslim kids can feel more Aussie. We were not consulted about this change - they went ahead and just did it.
Our foods are slowly all becoming Halal foods, our cheeses, chocolates & even good old sanitarium foods.
Our Government is ALLOWING this to happen. It has to stop now, while we still have some power to be able to stop it.
Regarding Our National Anthem -
I am sorry, but after hearing they want to sing the National Anthem in Arabic - enough is enough. Nowhere or at no other time in our nation's history, did they sing it in Italian, Japanese, Polish, Irish (Celtic), German, Portuguese, Ukrainian, Greek, or any other language because of immigration.
It was written in English, and should be sung word for word the way it was written.
The news broadcasts even gave the translation -- not even close.
I am not sorry if this offends anyone, this is MY COUNTRY -
IF IT IS YOUR COUNTRY SPEAK UP ---- please pass this along .
I am not against immigration -- just come through like everyone else. Get a sponsor; have a place to lay your head; have a job; pay your taxes, live by the rules AND LEARN THE LANGUAGE as all other immigrants have in the past -- and LONG LIVE Australia!
