The Independent Australian

Nigel Jackson contends that a new religious narrative is needed. Neither inappropriate evangelising nor hard core secularism should be encouraged in government schools.

2014 was not a good year. Freeing up restrictions on speech abandoned, negativism on the the environment, immigrant flood continuing, preaching of multiculturalism ceaseless. At least the boats have stopped.

For relief here is a Christmas poem.

The main black marks against Abbott are his devotion to spending money on roads, none on rail, and lack of rhetoric on the need for energy conservation. Leadership is persuasive in changing public behaviour. Although not supporting “Big Australia’ like the ALP, the Coalition has maintained immigration at high levels. 

Tony Jones is exasperated by the Greens not having the courage of their own convictions and selling the public short by remaining ever silent on population numbers

The Great Debate on Melbourne’s future population. The Victorian election - reckless spending on a tunnel or band-aid level crossings to tackle traffic congestion. An anti-overdevelopment independent candidate. Don’t forget to write ’Reduce Immigration’ on your ballot papers http://reduceimmigration.wordpress.com

 Shakespeare’s main characters in his tragedies were men of achievement and stature who came undone through their own failings. Gough Whitlam’s career was exactly that. Peter Wilkinson* recalls being an ALP member in Victoria in the time of Whitlam

Abbott projects a tough image, but it is just image. He will not stand up to powerful groups. On face covering and on 18c he has been shown to be weak, he has given into the banks to allow them to rip off the unwary, he has had the ATO reduce the staff responsible for enforcing companies to pay proper tax.

Australian tolerant attitudes to the intolerant aspects of Islam go too far. Muslims play the victimhood game and the usual suspects line up to sympathise with them. The Muslim leaders and all their community must unequivocally condemn violence, despite it being advocated in the Koran.

                THE BIG POPULATION DEBATE

     Will Melbourne still be the most liveable city by 2050?

Multiculturalism encourages ghettos, where the ethnic communities grow in size until they can influence the electoral result in House of Representatives seats We see that now with the Coalition abandoning promises and adopting policies to suit the ethnic groups.
