Apparently, these are not the comments of Julia Gillard but, those of John Howard and others, and date back to the time of the Bali Bombings.
Nonetheless, they are words with which most of us would strongly identify and a message that our spineless, apologist politicians should be sending loud and clear to those who wish to come and live amongst us...
"IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT.. Take It Or Leave It.
I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali , we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians. '
'This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom'
'We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society . Learn the language!'
'Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture.'
'We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us.'
'This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom, 'THE RIGHT TO LEAVE'.'
'If you aren't happy here then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted."
If only we had a PM with the courage to stand up to those who would rob us of our heritage and identity, instead of that spineless, acquiescent wimp, Cameron.
This week, Home Secretary Theresa Maynot was posturing about refusing to accept refugees from North Africa who had been given EU resident visas by the Italians. Given that our government bends to every whim of Emperor Barosso and his Evil Empire, these will prove to be yet more weasel words.
I wish we had Polly Titians with those sort of cajonies.
