Block immigration if the system cannot assimilate.

I have read many of the submissions and I find them scary. I live in Australia. We are a secular nation with some christians and moslems and assorted other freaks of the fringes minorities. To me anyone that bases their lives on a fairy story eg easter bunny, God, Allah, Jesus, father christmas etc etc...can not by definition make rational decisions. This is demonstrated adequately by the distribution of not so nice places to live (usually around the equator and usually moslem. This is not a rascist comment but an objective look at the facts)

I am happy that Australia accepts many refugees from conflict zones all over the world. But I am an Australian with an Australian Heritage. So long as these peoples can come and be assimilated into our culture as Australians thats fine. However this process is easily saturated leading to the formation of Ghettos where the net effect is to disasterously turn our culture towards those they try to escape from. The gates should close at the first sign of this disasterous down hill slide. Look at the massive racial problems in France Netherlands, Germany and England right at the moment.

Australia First , God Last that is a key difference between my culture and many others. When I am in your land I will obey your laws. When you are in my land please respect my countries laws and leave your previous lives bagguage back where you escaped from.

If you love god and that is good for you, then go and live in the USA or Saudi Arabia or another country that believes in such nonsense, dont come to Oz and force your fairy tales and violent culture on my children.

Religion is the source of all evil.

Leave it at home

Religion + Government=DEATH

Keep Religion out of Politics
