I was more concerned that the found strontium 90 in every capital city. Thanks for nuking us, England! Much appreciated! With allies like these...

There are videos of fishies and stevedores helping Vietnamese refugees out of boats and giving them cigarettes and stubbies on the beaches and wharves.

My dad maintains that the narrative around Vietnamese boat arrivals was generally "wow these people are brave, risking their lives on such a dangerous journey! Of course they can stay"

God what a nightmare that was, I can totally see why we wouldn't want any more refugees after that mess. Sort of want to read the right wing newspaper articles at the time to see what was actually being printed at the time. Or was the right of Australia for it due to the whole them fleeing from communist and everything? From what I've read despite some pretty decent general acceptance of the Vietnamese refugees there was still quite a bit of yellow peril/Asians are going to take over Australia crap, going on a the time.

As far as my personal experience as a yellow person, that was still going strong til about a decade and a half back then it suddenly switched over to fear of muslims and indians.

There was a multicultural festival in Newmarket today which had Glen Elmes MP as a guest known as Queensland's Minister for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and Multicultural Affairs. The festival was held at the big International City Church and generally had decent food and music. However, when Glen Elmes went to the stage to make his speech, he rather oddly and continuously joked about how much money he gives to this particular church and the Church Minister's wife had to awkwardly smile and lead him off-stage. He was pretty much "Man multiculturalism is amazing, hey do you know how much money I give to this church?"

Nile concluded by outlining what his ideal society would look like. “[It would be] a society marked by faithful, lasting, lifelong marriages between a man and woman,” he said. “A drug-free society. A pro-life society. No pornography or prostitution. A society with wholesome public entertainment. A God-honouring, Christ-centred Christian nation.” Three people gave him a standing ovation. ... Key themes from the day included equating sexual health with sterilisation and abortion; and criticising fatherless families for leading to broken homes and homeless children. ... Louise Kirk, UK coordinator for Alive to the World character education, spoke about a “scourge” overtaking schools – sex education. “This is a scourge because from a breakdown of the passing down of values from parents in all our societies, children are lost,” she said. “And there is no one to pick them up and aspire them to marriage.” She said children had spiritual imagination which was filled with God. “And if they’re not filled with God there isn’t a vacuum,” she said. “Without God they get filled with they get filled with pornography or terror or computer games. “If you’re going to teach children sexuality you need to teach children correctly with the best teachers. And the best teachers are the parents. The parents protect their modesty.”

Malcolm Fraser’s decision in the mid 1970s to take in Vietnamese boat people might be one of the most politically unpopular ever undertaken in Australia – it had less than 10% support when enacted. Even Fraser started talking about deportation once significant numbers of onshore arrivals started. The golden age of asylum policy in Australia wasn’t golden, and it was never popular.

If you can easily be replaced in your job by some hypothetical uneducated destitute immigrant who can't speak English maybe you should have been better at your job

Everyone deserves job security. Even white people. The whole "immigrants taking our jobs" line is loving stupid though. Immigrants won't take your job because they're subject to the same employment laws you are, outsourcing and 457 visas will take your job in favour of exploiting someone who doesn't have the benefit of living here.

Just to clarify: I'm not trying to defend dumb racism. But employment is something people do have genuine fears about, which is why it's such a great conservative dogwhistle to talk about immigrants putting people out of work. Telling people they can avoid that not by educating themselves, but that they should suck capitalism's dick even harder to make themselves appear more worthwhile to the machine is stupid.

March Australia Brisbane Protest Trip report By Kommando https://plus.google.com/photos/+DrewTriebe/albums/6053638016263954945 March Australia held an Anti-LNP Anti-Abbott protest today at Queens Park with several speakers. Larissa Waters, Terry O'Gorman, Peter Ong (E.T.U.), Professor John Quiggin, Selena Ward, Robyn Taubenfield, Jake Schoemer, & Breeze & comedian Mandy Nolan voiced their outrage and disgust at the abominable behaviour exhibited by our Federal and State LNP governments. There were stalls for The Greens and The Socialist alliance along with smaller represented parties like Abbott Proof Fence and Antifaschistsche Aktion. The rally was held from 10:30 and at 12:00 began a procession walking around the CBD and ultimatly back to Queens Park before disbanding at 14:00. Channel 7 and The Australian journalists were in attendance along with a lot of freelance and casual photographers. The QPS was mostly bike mounted, both pedal and motor and the rally was very peaceful if noisy. I got to speak to my Stafford Greens Candidate about various things but mostly about nuclear power. I bought two Greens pins and wore a shirt marked with FUND CSIRO and had the Parkes Dish on the back. While on the march I spoke on film to a March Australia videographer on the continual cinching of the CSIRO budget leading to drastic cost cutting measures like closing the Parkes Radio Telescope and shutting the Melbourne Biolab that is currently studying Ebola, Hendra and SARS. It was great to see so many people out today. Here are some photos. More can be seen at my G+ album https://plus.google.com/photos/+DrewTriebe/albums/6053638016263954945 The Australian photographer, not taking photos.
