ABC News -Oz Overpopulation-Mark O'Connor of SPA

Thanks #comment-4002">Moondance for the important, subtle detail that kept-in-the-dark, or less than politically aware Australians, rarely get to read. Rudd and his side-kicks knew decades ago about Australians’ population and cultural displacement concerns, but we let the few of them ride collectively roughshod over us. We were made to shut up, wrongly labelled as "racists" (when the correct word is "culturalists") so we were subtly forced to restrain our minds and think according to political directive, or be driven through the courts. That’s mind control of an entire population. The fashionable word "racism" is conveniently applied in a dramatically accusative context, for political control purposes. As a result, the wishes (and fears) of Australian people, in relation to population numbers and make-up, have been thoroughly trampled upon under the deliberate title of "racism". Anyone who resists cultural disintegration is cleverly embarrassed and quickly shut down under the "racist" label. We saw all this in The Netherlands, the UK and in other places where societies have irretrievably broken down as their prevailing cultures disintegrated, yet the plan is to do it here, regardless. Election issues and campaigns are electronically entwined. We complain about politicians: "they are only after our votes". Well, that is democracy. Candidates will reflect in their campaign literature the goals that they estimate to be the wishes of the majority. They gear their promises to local population social research. Simple and fast, utilising collected statistics with convenient, fast electronic measuring techniques. Australian culture should always have prevailed over and above any other political self-serving logic: "Australianism" in preference to the divisive "multi-culturalism". Our political masters are now hurtling all of us towards "globalisation" – code for surrender of national autonomy, national economy, national identity, national culture, trans-border ownership of resources, unrestricted immigration. When world politicians get globalisation into full thrust, we'll see the biggest war of all - which ego is to be appointed King of the Globe? What are we leaving for our children? Asiatralia? The rush to displace Australian culture through Rudd's highly questionable push towards another Asia Pacific regional outfit is to further guarantee the Labor immigrant gratitude vote, thus over time and with more “gratefuls” over-populating our previously unique and harmonious society, Labor governments will tighten their grip on all of us. Social cohesion? It no longer exists. Some fringe areas of Melbourne and Sydney are "outsider" no-go zones where it is neither welcoming nor safe for outsiders like myself. Our family no longer attends Victorian sporting venues because of frighteningly unsocial behaviour, the sale and consumption of alcohol in the immediate vicinity of kids, and in recent years, repeat events of unpalatable ethnic violence. I don't believe that Australians are “racist” in terms of judging others by skin colour or features. It’s more to do with cultural unease and the uncomfortable, unwanted division that results from forced diversity. If we were all culturally one, then we would all be living inside one huge circus tent, sharing our food, habits and facilities. Would that work? How long before our differing family values would cause one big war inside that one big tent? Families presently need to live in separate houses for well understood reasons of social cohesion, and as society recommends: take care about who we invite into our homes. Something that can be compared with the present Australian leadership's carelessness on the matter of border control. On the many occasions when I have frequently been overwhelmed and outnumbered by large groups of different appearance and language, an uneasy "displacement" effect sets in. This feeling regularly occurs on public transport where it is often difficult to see anyone who looks like me, let alone sounds like me. I feel like part of an endangered culture, an outsider. What I am grieving is the result of careless political encouragement of an exponentially devalued Australian culture. There’s been a noticeable absence at decision-making level of the socially calming notion that our previously harmonious culture was not only worth preservation and development, but that newcomers are no longer expected to survive within it, but rather are not discouraged from forcing their previous allegiances and cultures above ours. Like so many others, I am grieving comparatively recent offensive disregard for the culture of Australianism that our elders, in their wisdom, believed was a value worth dying for. So thank you, Moon Dance.
