  1.  @MartinParsons-tr6wi  I've seen that is the UK, and they are starting to do it here now. We need to start our own churches.

  2. A return to the Christianity of the Victorian era.

  4.  @dpstrial  Yes I have heard that about the US election. I blame feminism and this demographic delaying marriage and motherhood. The women I know are mothers. And they are among the third of parents who pay modest school fees to send their kids to Christian schools because they are more conservative than government schools, and less appealing to some immigrants. I also live rurally. We have a centre right MP. But these women I know might not be representative. Another thing to consider with our elections is that our last census shows that more than half of the people voting are recent immigrants. If you have a grandparent born in the country you are a minority and your vote doesn't matter. And yes we get fined if we don't get our name marked on the electoral roll, and take a ballot into the ballot booth. Having done this much almost everyone fills it in.

  5.  @robinjonson4186  We always get told that you have successful immigration programs, but then, our media says the same thing about our country but it's not true.

  6. I studied social work in the late 90s the course was full of this back then, but I never thought it would go mainstream.

  7.  @nonfictionone  Pretty much the future I see. Some even propose the stone age, killing wallabies etc. Women had even fewer rights then, then the Middle Ages. I would like to hang on to agriculture. The first thing people need to do is accept no internet presence.

  9.  @davey1602  Thankyou We all moved out of a regional city and into a small town because of that problem. However the government says rural towns need diversity and have a special rural visa where you have to live in a rural town for a few years, and we had a family who were very unhappy. They didn't like it that the town only has Christian churches, and the closest mosque was over 200km, and that nobody spoke their language. And yes the wife complained that the Christmas party had alcohol, and the town has three pubs. Indeed they were so unhappy that when the borders opened after covid they went home. So maybe rural visas do work. But it begs the question, before applying for a visa to rural Australia you think they'd do some research into what to expect in an Australian town of 3000 people.

  10. As an Australian planning a holiday the state of hotels is a concern we may not be able to overcome. So it is costing your country on many levels

  11. ​ @douglas_gemini  There is a huge jump between being wrong on an issue, and advocating human rights abuses.

  12.  @robm8809  And great that you say that. What a great husband sincerely.

  13. It's not just fashion though. I'm Australian and I've always avoided the sun because of its association with skin cancer.

  14. Hi from Australia. Our last census shows that half the population is a recent immigrant.

  15. I'm Australian and I watch far right content and yet I get adds for Labor and the greens, both far left.

  16. I watch in amazement as he puts up so much good legislation in one day! I wish Australia had a Trump.

  17. In Australia I think the good teachers are all hiding out in tiny private Catholic schools. I head recently that 25% more parents chose these schools this year.

  18. In Australia I say keep your churches and pubs full. It helps protect your community.

  19. I'm also in Australia, and I was devastated by how many people refused to wake up during the covid oppression. I believe splitting the small party vote is intentional. 40% of people voted for small parties or independents but Labor won with 32%. The small parties give the illusion of democracy. But they will never be allowed to become a threat.

  20. One thing the gospels agree on is that Jesus drank wine. Amen to that.

  21.  @Nathan-yy2xs  I live rurally and there are still families with two to six children. However the last time, as a nation , we had replacement birth rates (an average of 2.1 per woman) was 1976. Today it is 1.63. So our population is shrinking. People are living longer than in 1976, but this accounts for about 10% only. As for the other phenomenon you mention, most of everyone in Australia lives in cities. But this is also happening in rural towns due to the current migrants for the regions policy. I have my own thoughts on why.

  22. The problem is that if you look at it honestly, the US was a melting pot for mainly European immigrants. I get annoyed when similar things are said about Australia. When in reality for the first two hundred years most of our immigrants were British or western European Christians.

  23. ​ @SB-cy4hb  I agree, in Australia I say it doesn't matter Who you vote for, the policies never changes only the rhetoric does.

  24. Years ago there was a big TV scandal. One migrant man had four social houses. One for himself and one for each of his three wives. And yet it's actually ilegal to have more than one wife in this country. As for the failed state that's actually the only way this ends. I live rurally and yes we also get sent migrants we don't want. But they are not in enclaves. Wages are higher, but cost of living is incredibly high and it costs $235 a week to rent one room, some people from the Philippines and parts of Asia are going home because they are worse off here.

  25. ​ @bobkaiser8782 I'm old enough to remember when gay men had a female wife and two kids because it was ilegal.

  26.  @pabloes.4945  I assure you that when the consequences were jails or mental hospitals it did happen and several agreed with my comment. Oscar Wilde was not unusual.

  27.  @arunnaik3375  Simply telling the truth. My country has no history of slavery and no involvement in the Transatlantic slave trade. Slavery was outlawed in 1786 before we were settled. Many were brought against their will, but they were white British. We were settled because the US fought a war against the British and stopped taking British convicts because they favoured African slaves.

  28.  @PaulDoyle-s8e  I do know about that. Legally they were indentured servants, though still not entirely ethical. The US had for a long time preferred indentured servants as well, for centuries in fact. But Australians were horrified and angered by the practice. One of the main reasons Australia federated was to end the practice. The first act of the federal government was to legislate the White Australia Immigration Policy to ensure it could never happen again. I assure you I know my country's history.

  29. Yes I caught that.

  30. I'd sign Australia up to that.

  31. My parents wanted me to go straight from highschool to university. Instead I married young and delayed university until my kids were in primary school. I encouraged my daughters to delay university until they had babies. Really universities are very baby/child friendly. People live so long now delaying a career makes sense. This is alternative young women should be offered.

  32. I remember this guy, he says white people will become extinct in a few decades.

  33.  @Tony11806  I believe this too. However in Australia you get fined if you don't vote and the madness continues.
    3
  34.  @Tony11806  Yes you could cast an invalid vote. But to avoid the fine you must stand in a long queue, get your name struck against the electoral roll, receive your ballot and enter a private ballot box. Having done this much almost everyone does vote. I have worked in elections and in my experience perhaps one in three thousand votes is invalid. The problem is that a large number of voters don't have a clue who they are voting for but still vote to avoid the fine. Add to this preferential voting means you are not voting for one individual you are merely ranking every candidate, which is typically 8+10 people in the lower house, and 20-30 in the senate. So our current Prime Minister only got 32% of valid votes. You are really only indicating who you want the least. So many people don't understand and they don't teach children how to vote in school anymore, only indoctrinate them to vote for Green communists. So put simply failing to vote is not a form of protest here. And there is no option that you describe, though you could invalidate your ballot by drawing your own.

  35. Not just what they were rebelling, but where they could return to. In Australia in a government school as late as 1980, we said the Lord's Prayer every morning and then read from the abridged children's Bible.

  36. Australia is further along. Our immigration is higher per capita. And our last census shows that if you have a grandparent born in the country, even one, you are a minority and your vote doesn't matter.

  37. Why ?

  38. You sound like a great parent. Can you help? In my country (Australia) it's quite normal for couples to live with parents until their circumstances improve. After all they only need space for a double bed and a cot. We have the same problem with unaffordable housing. I was a landlord for a few years after my mother died. Many just want enough rent to cover the mortgage. So it's the cost of housing that pushes up the price, not the other way around. And it's immigration pushing the price up.

  39. Things will only get worse. Where are all the Palestinian refugees going to go.

  40.  @Gillfuddy  Australia doesn't want them either.

  41. By design

  42. I lived through the period in Australia when multiculturalism was invented. In 1900 Australia was federated to introduce the White Australia Immigration policy. In 1970 we were a white and Aboriginal people, nominally Christian, Christian studies were part of the state primary curriculum. In 1973 Whitlam tore up the White Australia Policy, and replaced it with multiculturalism. He also introduced welfare for single mothers, "no fault" divorce and introduced the infamous 18C bill to end freedom of speech. He was sacked by the Queen's representative, but none of his laws were reversed.

  43. Feels more like being pushed at riffle point. 😢

  44. The trouble is Victoria is like California, most people vote for nonsense. My local council puts on an Australia Day BBQ every year, with no welcome to country

  45. ​ @dainagrn7030 I have spent two holidays of a couple of months duration in the UK. I was surprised at how many kids in school uniform I would see hanging around unsupervised before and after school

  46. Australia has the same problem. Immigration is a Ponzi scheme. Constant immigration has reduced our standard of living dramatically. I actually know some who moved back to third world countries because the standard of living was higher. It's a sad state of affairs but 2000 pounds for a tiny flat, if things continue, you might get immigrants leaving too.

  47. Or from the church.

  48.  @salfordguy399  Whitlem, who was sacked as a Prime Minister, but none of his legislation was reversed.

  49.  @salfordguy399  Yes, I mentioned it in my first comment, sorry if it's unclear.

  50. The problem is it's a slippery slope, once legal it is used to reduce the states responsibility for health care. I've seen this happen in several states and countries.
