| 1172987 | 2011-01-28 02:20:00 | Australia says NO - Second Time she has done this ! She's done it again.. She sure isn't backing down on her hard line stance and one has to appreciate her belief in the rights of her native countrymen.. A breath of fresh air to see someone lead. I wish some leaders would step up in Canada & USA .... New Zealand Australian Prime Minister does it again!! The whole world needs a leader like this! > Prime Minister Julia Gillard - Australia Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia , as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks.. Separately, Gillard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying she supported spy agencies monitoring the nation's mosques. Quote: '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.' Maybe if we circulate this amongst ourselves in NEW ZEALAND WE will find the courage to start speaking and voicing the same truths. You sure she said this?......its not one of those e-mails going around is it....BTW, I so totally agree with the statement.... |

| 1172988 | 2011-01-28 02:23:00 | Oh lord... If someone of any importance said something of even a minutely similar nature to this... We would have anarchy. The minority would be on the streets protesting and whining and we would see Lebanon-esque rioting... Oh well. The majority (ie normal aussies) would feel guilty about the PM saying such "nasty and discriminatory" things, she would be forced to apologize and resign by the end of the day. And we'll see a [insert minority here] as PM of Australia, ya know, just as a good will gesture... You can't win no matter what you do in this PC world. :( Isnt it strange that such a logical and fair statement should upset a minority so much as to be political suicide? |

| 1172989 | 2011-01-28 02:37:00 | All reads like ignorant simple minded red neck bigotry to me, hardly surprising its coming out of Australia (kinda the Texas 51st state of the South pacific). Hitler was able to use this type of hatred to start a world war. Didn't the Aborigines found Australia? no one seemed to give a dam about there culture or language when the Europeans charged in lol |

| 1172992 | 2011-01-28 04:43:00 | As Safari said in post #5 the initial post of Cicero’s has been around for a very long time and I’ve seen it attributed to both John Howard and Tony Blair. Not withstanding, it does reflect the feelings of many British, Australians, and Kiwi’s. Personally, I wouldn’t be surprised if it didn’t reflect the feelings of the majority of all three of those countries. |

Quite right gaz, we should sit around eating Goanna's and rubbing charcoal over ourselves. Tell us how to resolve the conflict of the oldest culture and the youngest. |

| 1172994 | 2011-01-28 08:16:00 | Well I dont vote simply because none of the Parties enjoy my confidence. If I vote for something or someone then it means I support that person or proposition. Im certainly not going to waste my time looking for the lesser of seven evils or trying to differentiate between an idiot and a drongo. That is fine by me just don't complain around me.:D |

Tell us how to resolve the conflict of the oldest culture and the youngest. You know, I consider myself a natural biologist (studying to become one anyway) and understand the laws of nature, i.e. the smarter and stronger will in most cases dominate the weak, etc. But what I find amusing is how those that are smarter over time think they have rewritten history when what they did is bully the weak into submission and purport their sadistic behaviour as altruism. In saying that however, I do share the sentiment in that viral email message, though not in a million years the arrogant and ignorant attitude that reeks in every letter in it. P.S.: I hear goannas are indeed tasty, though I've never braved myself to try one. |
