And this is at least a step in the "right" direction:
Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has flagged opening Parliament with a multi-faith ceremony instead of the Lord's Prayer. Key points: ·
The Lord's Prayer and
an acknowledgement of country are read at the beginning of each sitting day ·
Some MPs question the
prayer's use in the secular parliament, saying church and state should be
separate ·
The Premier is open to
the idea of removing the prayer if it has widespread support Religions observed by
state MPs include Christianity, Judaism, Islam and Hinduism.

I have just read 6 pages on this issue and I think a major point has been missed here.
When she went to the Unitd Nations with her baby and the first husband, I rolled my eyes at Miss Ardern. However I have come to the realisation that the NZ Prime Minister, is one of the best world leaders we have right now. The best wrap I can give her is that she is the only world leader I have seen, who, if I was a part of their protection, I would take a bullet for. She has been strong, forthright, straight forward, transparent, answered all the families of the murdered questions face to face and come up with a huge decision to ban semi and automatic weapons, which is huge in New Zealand. She makes our squabbling, child-like leaders, if that is what yo want to call them, look inept, incompetent and irrelevant. A thumbs up |

You would wonder why NZ didn't do it 20+ years ago after Port Arthur. Were they waiting for their own massacre? |

Rather interestingly, didn’t she want to slash immigration in the lead up to her being elected?

By "slashing immigration", you mean keep Aussies out? Maybe she should've.

But her reasoning for lower immigration growth was not based on racial or xenophobic issues was it ? Wasn't it concerned with infrastructure issues and planning for population growth ? (NZ is only 3% the size of Australia and its population density is more than 6 times higher) Didn't she also advocate increasing NZ's intake of refugees ?

Which is exactly the same reason every reasonable Australian with Conservative views wishes to lower or control immigration numbers - everyone understands that, although comparing Australia's size with NZ is a little bit of desperate deception - how much of NZ is uninhabitable desert? It's actually the ALP who wants to import more "ALP voters" and dump them in "safe welfare dependent" suburban seats without any thought for infrastructure needs. The only people who are suggesting anything else are the unhinged, lying, divisive, hateful, UnAustralian Dr Di Natale and his zealot partners and supporters within the Labor/Greens Collusion. We saw where they are going politically with the Greens enjoying a 20% drop in their NSW vote. This was a direct result of that prick sticking his head out from the safety of the ABC/SBS shadows last week, and blurting out his "hate speech" and saying what they really think without the nodding head journalism - that anyone who is NOT of the deranged left, is clearly responsible for ALL terrorism ... disgusting, divisive, bigoted, dangerous fcuked up people, these Greens, and anyone who would collude with them. Give them more air time in the media I say - the more they speak, the less relevant they become. As for New Zealand. it's about bloody time that they became modern World Citizens - their Gun Laws were archaic ... it was only a matter of time before they had an incident of this magnitude ... should Arden really be congratulated for shutting the gate after the horse has bolted? ... and their "Virtue Signalling" about asylum seekers needs to be backed up with action too - their record is pathetic!

In reference to every post in the Trump thread ... "There may have been a tiny bit of license taken there" ... Ok, Thanks for the "heads up" PT!

Conservative governments have contributed to, and benefitted from, high immigration levels as much as anyone. Take off the blinkers.

Both major parties in Australia are on a unity ticket on their big immigration rapid population growth policies. Morrison's so-called cut in immigration numbers is bullsh1t. The numbers are not going down.
