| And they're still taking your money - Amazing! | |
In yet another abuse of taxpayers money, SBS has publicized the results of
their own survey on 'multiculturalism' in
Australia. It reports that while the vast majority of migrants are happy to call
Australia home, relatively few actually call themselves Australian. Of course it's a change from several decades ago, when whining migrants
somehow always seemed to believe that they were just here to squander and
pillage for a while, and then would 'return home'. Fortunately some did, and
slightly raised Australia's human capital in the process. But as the gaps between the quality of life available in Australia, and
that in most of the rest of the world, grew, the whiners chose to just complain
bitterly about their chosen new home, and demanded more and more subsidies for
refusing to integrate, calling it 'multiculturalism'. Multiculturalism is based on the premise that new arrivals have no obligation to
integrate, but if they don't integrate, Australia is to blame. The report also reveals that most of Australia's indigenous population
regard themselves as Aborigines and Torres
Strait Islander first, and Australians second. Again hardly surprising when
they are entitled to land rights, Aboriginal Legal Aid, Ab-Study, special
consideration when in custody, and a nearly $1 billion dollar a year slush fund
via ATSIC. If they were mere Australians, they wouldn't have there extra
benefits. But the real shocker comes with the conclusion of the report - that this
demonstrates that Australia is intolerant and therefore needs to have a
stronger commitment to multiculturalism. Apparently paying people to be different has resulted in them thinking they are
different, so we need to give them more money to be different. Maybe this is inevitable from a government organization
like SBS. When a private initiative fails, it goes broke. But when a government
initiative fails it gets more funding. Isn't the world an amazing place?
