This is something we should all be concerned about yet as soon as it's raised the words "racism" are uttered to shut down any debate. The marketplace of outrage is mobilised & feelings have become the new measurement of morality.

This Labor Party Rudd/Gillard  term is a sorry signpost for what is going to become many years in the wilderness for them.

an excerpt from the link provided: "It's this hubris that has also undermined border protection. Kevin Rudd and the Prime Minister have lured unprecedented numbers of unauthorised migrants with the promise of immediate access to generous welfare. Comprehensive screening has been impossible.

Yet experience shows that a significant percentage of unscheduled arrivals will stay on welfare. Many will become part of a growing underclass with the likely social consequences now so evident in Britain and Europe.

As American economist Thomas Sowell observes, "While you cannot condemn all members of any group for what other members of their group may have done, that does not mean that we must ignore the fact that the costs and dangers created by some groups are much greater than those created by other groups".

Yet we allow political correctness to override self-preservation and risk social disharmony rather than protect our borders."
