        It's their life, mate and they are entitled to live it as they please without punishers and straighteners like you dictating how and when they transition between their home and adopted countries!

        It's our country mate, and we have a perfect right to protect our culture and ideals without blowhards like you dictating how we behave or think. Anyone who comes here can conform to our way of life. Just as I would expect to conform to another countries values if I moved there.

        We are importing migrants who will never assimilate. They do not support our culture or our way of life. Traitorous Left Wingers will assist them in forming welfare dependant enclaves that poison this country.

        Perhaps it starts with treating them as part of Australia and not as if they had never left the land of their birth.

        Bollocks. There's no easier country to assimilate than Australia.

        'in which to assimilate' (as the case may be). Au Contraire: Been in Australia 46 years, and still treated as resident of NZ (and I am a WASP). Imagine how 'Sporting, drinking + punting guru; Ex-RAN. Mining Biz. West Coast Eagles. Beach-Surf-SUP-staffies' treat the coloured.

        You are talking absolute bollocks. I'd start looking inwards if after 46yrs you can't fit in in Australia . As for how I treat the coloured? what a disgraceful assumption with absolutely no evidence. Seems you often make silly statements with no evidence.....

        You're a goose. If you talk shit about a country while living in it and enjoying its riches, expect some blowback. I'm not going to sit back and have my great country insulted by a fat old misery guts kiwi who can't make friends because he's too arrogant. Dickhead.

        LOL. It is working. The love Australians have for NZers is shining through your every missive. I was naturalized in 1983. I am an Australian, and it is my country too now - but your diatribe rather proves my point = you still treat me as a Kiwi. PS: I am 184cm and 80kg = not fat.

        Mr. Newman, which part of this document do you not understand? We no longer have a policy of assimilation. Try to keep up. 'Multicultural is a term that describes the cultural and linguistic diversity of Australian society' Australia's Multicultural Policy Fact Sheet 6 #auspolpic.twitter.com/ioEwe1tHVx

        Maurice Newman doesn't even understand #climatechange. Why would anyone listen to him on any other topic? He is a buffoonish combover. #auspol

        This isn't the first assimilation policy in Australia. The first one resulted in the stolen generation.
