In an opinion piece in today’s Australian, John Pasquarelli argues that “sweeping changes to our immigration and citizenship laws are urgently required”.

Last December Tony Abbott told the Australian Financial Review: “There is still this left-of-centre ethos in the ABC and I hope that Mark Scott continues to address it.” Alas, the ABC’s institutional leftism is incurable.
There was a stark contrast in how ABC’s Lateline covered Margaret Thatcher’s death and the way it treated that of a prominent left wing hero, The Spectator Australia said this week.
There are important lessons to learn from the 2003 Iraq war experience, Tom Switzer says. But some Australian conservatives would prefer to ignore them.
Communications Minister Stephen Conroy’s proposals for media regulation are government licensing in all but name, the Institute of Public Affairs says.
“I just wish those letters weren’t so … similar,” Kerryn O’Brien lamented last night after declaring that an ALP candidate was contesting a seat for the ABC.
The Coalition says its “Policy to Improve the Fair Work Laws”, released today, will improve the prospects of higher real wages for Australian workers, lift standards of behaviour in trade unions, make it easier for small business to employ people and lift Australia’s productive capacity.
The Liberal Party has launched a new TV and social media video campaign to highlight what it describes as “the ongoing chaos, division and dysfunction of Julia Gillard’s Labor government.”
The Australian Christian Lobby has welcomed reported comments by Opposition Leader Tony Abbott that he did not expect the issue of same-sex marriage to come up in the life of the next Parliament should the Coalition win the election.

Australia has the ability to remain the last bastion of western values of freedom, progress and stability. It is currently right on course to blowing that as well.
It is already too late for the EU and US.
One of main reasons is that western politicians worry about appeasing everybody to garner the short term vote, rarely do they do what they should be doing, plan for the long term future.

It’s what Australia is turning into that worries many Australians and their friends overseas. The country is becoming unrecignizable, even to its own senior citizens!

good article,John.I’d like to know why the racist migration policies of industrialised nations such as China,Japan and South Korea,largly slip the radar. These monocultural nations have the means to support a few Africans and Muslims,to lessen the load on Western nations,yet are too racist to allow it. The left says nothing as Asians can’t possibly be racist…only Europeans. The hypocrisy irks me to death.
Arthur Calwell was right when he wrote: “If Australians are ever foolish enough to open their gates in a significant way to people other than Europeans, they will soon find themselves fighting desperately to stop the nation from being flooded by hordes of non-integratables.” We were warned.
