An invitation to chaos
Piers Akerman
AUSTRALIA is about to see the greatest increase in its migrant population since the post-World War II immigration scheme began.
Last week, the Rudd Labor Government announced a lift in permanent and temporary migration for 2008-09 to nearly 300,000, and Immigration Minister Chris Evans has indicated that some of the rules will be eased to ensure those numbers are met. -While I do not doubt that the ALP will attempt to manipulate the situation to exploit the poorest with no possible reward in the long term to anyone other than the ALP, yet I love immigrants. I have worked with many, from most nations and all continents (one was born in Antarctica). Multiculturalism is a failure, but cultural diversity is to be celebrated for its success. The peoples that command my greatest affection are South East Asian, Vietnamese, Chinese and Cambodian. Their children have grown to be decent, hardworking and giving people. Often, there communities have failed to merge with society at large, but have retained elements of their community both new and old. So that Australian trained doctors and nurses live among their brothers and sisters, some of whom are poor or unemployed. Those ghettos so favored by the ALP don't seem to form with such communities. So that the most disadvantaged suburb in the state, Carramar (disadvantaged in terms of most number of unemployed, single mothers and people on the pension, as well as distance from services such as health, police etc) has children who prosper at school.
But the insane ALP idea that has communities in ghettos, like Macquarrie Fields and Bankstown has led to gang situations where decent people fear to stay.
I don't trust Rudd or his plans. I don't think he will do something worthwhile. But, I love migrants, and think they can make something worthwhile of the poor lot Rudd will offer.-ed.

Rudd’s gassy adventure
Andrew Bolt
It’s not just the cost but the sheer gassy excess of it all that’s astonishing:
KEVIN RUDD’S post-election visit to the Bali climate change conference to announce that Australia would ratify the Kyoto Protocol cost taxpayers more than $530,000.

No wonder Steyn must be shut up
Andrew Bolt
Radical Muslims are using Canada’s discredited human rights police, rather than debate, to try to silence columnist Mark Steyn.
I can understand their fear of free debate, given what happened when three of the complainants who might drive Steyn out of business turned up to a TV show in which Steyn was being interviewed. You see, he challenged them to the debate they demanded - right there, right then.
The sight of these activists complaining on national TV about not being allowed to get out their message is a highlight.

Children exposed
Andrew Bolt
Come now, Ms Devine, surely you exagerate in making your point about the sexualisation of children:
Opening tonight at the elegant Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery in the heart of Paddington is an exhibition of photographs by Bill Henson, featuring naked 12 and 13 year-olds. The invitation to the exhibition features a large photo of a girl, the light shining on her hair, eyes downcast, dark shadows on her sombre, beautiful face, and the budding breasts of puberty on full display, her hand casually covering her crotch.Oh. Apologies. Henson’s pictures really do include soft-porn shots of young teenagers.
I really had no idea we’d left children now so defenceless against sexualisation that a swish arts venue could resemble the pages of a pedophile’s scrap book.
