IMMIGRATION IS
NOT A SINGLE ISSUE!
Australia's
immigration policy is disastrous, proceeding as if there is no balance of
payment problem, no foreign debt and no geographical or environmental
constraints to population growth.
Continued immigration will finally and irreversibly alter the natural
and urban environment, economic viability and attitudes and culture of our
nation.
The people have
been consulted on, or given their consent to, the interwoven policies of
immigration and multiculturalism. It is
now time for Australians to demand their democratic rights, reclaim their
sovereignty and demand a say in the future of their nation.
Australians
Against Further Immigration want immigration drastically reduced to zero
net. That is, out immigration numbers
should merely replace those permanently leaving Australia each year -
historically running between 20,000 and 30,000.
At this policy of institutionalised, publicly funded multiculturalism
should be scrapped.
We are a
non-racist organisation and attempts to convert the debate to one of race and
emotion is a deliberate ploy to silence critics and avoid the real issues. We believe in freedom of speech. The philosopher Spinoza said, "In a free state every man can think
what he wants and say what he thinks".
This should apply here to debates on immigration.
We care about
Australia and want to pass our heritage to our children and their
children. We want to preserve our
Australian identity. We stress that
migrants already in Australia are welcome, what we are against is further
immigration and the effect this in now having on social harmony.
Our opposition is
the pro-immigration lobby comprised of big business including the media, the
ethnic lobby, churches, misguided humanitarians and both sides of
politics. It is our own successive
governments inflicting these policies on us and they, not the individual
migrant, should bear the blame.
We are concerned
about the effect of immigration and multiculturalism on this country where as
the pro-immigration lobby is only concerned for the migrant or their own interests.
ENVIRONMENT
Australia, the
world's oldest and driest continent, with severe soil degradation and climatic
uncertainty - a land of, "droughts and flooding rains"' already faces
declining agricultural productivity.
Only 10% of our huge land mass is arable and this land produces less
grain than two small states in the USA.
The reality is that we always will be a small food producer by
international standards. Australia has a
responsibility to protect its bio-diversity and not allow its flora and fauna
to be pushed form their habits to extinction because of population or economic
pressures. In comparison, the
pro-immigration lobby feel that we have no moral right to this land unless we
push development to the limit. Our
population must be stabilised as elsewhere in the world.
The use of water
for irrigation, urban demand and sewage disposal, is already straining supply
to the limits. Our main cities have
grown beyond their optimum size.
Pollution, traffic, urban sprawl, failing community service, crime and
lower quality of life are occurring.
Crowed, sprawling, smog covered cities, with all of the dysfunctional
problems of Los Angles, are the inevitable consequences of further mass
immigration. Yet the government plans to
double the size of our major cities over the next 30 years by immigration. Is this what Australians, new and old, or of
and ethnic group wants?
The Premier of
NSW, Bob Carr was right when he said, "the nation can't handle more
people....Sydney is bursting at the seams....the debate ought to be about
carrying capacity of the continent - a continent that has lousy soils, fragile
vegetation and depleted and degraded river systems".
ECONOMICS
To cope with our
massive immigration problem which has produced the fastest population growth in
the OECD, we are spending $15 billion per annum. Each year
Australia must
build the equivalent of a city the size of Geelong, with all its infrastructure
and social services just to cope with one years immigration intake. Every migrant in Australia, must be provided
with accommodation, food, transport, a job, schools, pensions, hospitals,
water, electricity, roads, sewerage, universities and all the basic necessities
of life. This has been a major factor in
bankrupting Australia and has given us a foreign debt currently standing at
$170 billion with a current account deficit
of about $2 billion per month, half of which is due to immigration. It is no surprise that we have the highest
per capita foreign debit in the world.
Paul Keating was
right, when he said in his maiden speech to parliament in 1970, "It is
time we considered the enormous cost of bringing migrants to this
country".
Even the
pro-immigration, Bureau of Immigration and Population Research, could not find
any economic benefits from our immigration program - and their conclusion came
from a study which was biased by omitting the enormous infrastructure costs
mentioned above.
Too few people
recognise or question the corrosive influence internationalisation of our economy
has had on our society and the part that immigration is playing in that process
- the breakdown of unionism and consequent deterioration of awards/working
conditions, the predatory nature of foreign investment/ownership, the
destruction of manufacturing/dropping of tariffs and consequent
unemployment/increased imports with associated increased foreign debt, the
privatisation of publicly own schemes and dual citizenship. All of these contribute to our diminishing
capacity to shape our national destiny as we are re-colonised by deregulated
global capacity. Bipartisanship ensures
these policies will further foreign take over towards a point of no
return. If we can not stop immigration
we will never stop the rest.
UNEMPLOYMENT
A country in debt
must decrease all spending. This means
less jobs and higher unemployment. We
now have 1 million unemployed and to add 100,000 migrants each year is
insanity. These people can only take
jobs from the existing pool or join the dole queue. 40% of all migrants over the last 5 years
have joined the long term unemployment queues!
A similar percentage of our own youth are also unable to get a job.
To create a new
job in Australia requires a capital outlay of $150,000 per job. With a foreign debt of $170 billion we are in
no position to create these new jobs. We
have spent our scarce funds on immigration induced growth, rather than on
plant, equipment, training and jobs in export and import replacing industries.
It is morally
indefensible to import skilled labour into Australia whilst not training our
own youth and our skilled labour remains unemployed. Yet both Liberal and Labour regard importing
skilled migrants as the way to increase the labour market!
DEFENCE
The 1987
government policy paper on the defence of Australia stated, "no population
increase is necessary for defence".
Today's defence needs require a strong economy and sophisticated,
expensive military infrastructure. We
need a professional well trained mobile technically advanced force with access
to sophisticated weapon systems. A
cohesive and united society, not a divided multicultural society, is what is
needed for our defence.
HUMANITARIANISM
In a world with
95 million extra people per annum and with 35 million refugees, our immigration
program can only help 1/10th of 1% of these people and then only at the
expensive of our
quality of life and environment. Foreign
aid, not immigration is the logical way for humanitarian relief.
Only genuine
refugees in fear for their lives, should be granted temporary entry into
Australia and then returned to their country of origin when the danger is
passed. Economic illegal migrants,
whether arriving in leaky boats or through our airports and falsely claiming
refugee status, should be immediately deported.
HEALTH
Our hospital
waiting lists are evidence of the fact we are already not coping. Many new diseases are mow being introduced
into Australia. TB and Hepatitis B from
Asia will become a greater and greater problem.
We are already seeing 1,000 deaths per annum from Hepatitis B and rates
of TB contact in inner Sydney schools of 25%.
The government admits it does not have the resources to immunise those
as risk of Hepatitis B or to provide the necessary TB screening procedures.
EDUCATION
Is the choice
school or the dole? There is a shortage
of real education producing real skills for real jobs. The preferential admission of children of
migrants to universities under the unfair LOTE (Language Other Than English)
bonus ensures Australian children will be disadvantaged and the government will
create an educated ethnic elite to take over positions of power and control in
Australia.
MEDIA
Media
communication on immigration and multiculturalism is severely censored, the
media presenting what they want you to know and think. Be your own judge and do not rely on the
flawed views of journalists whose job opportunities rely on editors and media
owners who are part of the pro-immigration lobby.
CULTURE
We understand the
desire for migrants to maintain there culture in Australia for Australians have
exactly the same desire to maintain our culture, history and traditions, and we
see no reason why migrant cultures should be maintained when it is at the
expensive of ours. The Australian
culture is unique and we shall fight to defend it. Our culture emphasises a balanced life, free
of excessive striving and materialism and has created an attractive
society. As in the USA, Canada and New
Zealand, Australia has incorporated the best features of British culture - the
balance of law, freedom and order, separation of public services and politics,
conflict solving by debate and not by force, violence and insurrection,
tolerance of minorities, economic opportunity, fortitude in war without militarism
and provision of social services. We
have our distinctive art, music, theatre, literature, sport and film with
achievements in science, medicine, social welfare and a unique quality of life.
Our culture
developed from our history, our common memories, stories and traditions. Australia led the way with the secret ballot,
the 8 hour day votes for women, invalid, widow and old age pensions, strong
trade unions the arbitration system and the basic wage. Our culture embodies the values of egalitarianism
and mateship. It rejects excessive
authority and believes in a fair go, admiration for the battler and a belief in
the individual.
Currently we are
seeing our culture replaced by a new culture for Australia, called
multiculturalism - a philosophy that has failed wherever in the world it has
been tried such as in Yugoslavia, Sri Lanka, Fiji, Bosnia, Chechnya, Rwanda,
Tibet, Isreal, Briton, Timor ect.
Multiculturalism always produces conflict between group rights and
individual rights. The small 'l' liberal
establishment, who so strongly support multicultururalism, seem blind to the
fact that their philosophy of individual rights will disappear under the
pressure of group, ethnic and racial rights in a multicultural society.
Now we are being
told that Australia is a part of Asia and that we must adopt Asian cultural
values. Values that are often totally
alien to our civilisation values and background.
COUNTRY AUSTRALIA
Country Australia
is paying a high price for immigration.
At the same time as the government cries, "poor", and removes
country services such as hospitals, post offices, schools, police and railways
ect., they bring into Australia 120,000 migrants per year and provides them
with all the services in the cities. You
lose your post office and railways and migrants get jobs in post offices and on
railways! Immigration costs Australia
$15 billion annually. Just imagine the
services which could be provided if this $15 billion were spent in rural areas.
Electorally, one
year's migrant intake is now more important to our politicians than rural
Australia which has provided most of Australia's export income for 200
years. Most countries look after their
export earners, but our government ignores, denigrates and exploits ours!
ASIANISATION
The government's
justification for continuing mass immigration into Australia can be summarised
in one word - Asianisation. Our
politicians plan an Asian future for Australia.
As Immigration Minister, Senator Bolkus, said on the 6/12/94, "we cannot
cut and should not cut immigration because of our integration with
Asia". Do we need to change the
ethnic/racial make up of Australia for trade?
Trade comes and goes, but the soul of our nation should not be traded
for money, international approval or to fulfil a bizarre social experiment.
70% of our
program is from Asian countries and ANU demographer, Charles Price, concluded
that Australia will be 27% Asian within 25 years and of course it does not stop
there. In a democracy, how dare our government
force such changes on the Australian people without their consent, but also
against their often polled opinion.
IN SUMMARY:-
We have a clear
choice of accepting increasing immigration with the consequent exploitation of
this land and a falling standard of living and quality of life, living in
crowded, polluted, high density cities, with over-taxed recreational areas and
intercommunal tensions and feeling like strangers in our own country. The economic consequences of an increasing
foreign debt, foreign ownership and undesirable, unsustainable economic
expansion, will destroy any chance of maintaining the best features of
Australian life as we know it. And, as
migrant numbers increase, there will be an escalating push for higher migrant
intake which eventually will be unstoppable.
OR
Stoping mass
immigration and attempting to live in harmony with our fragile environment,
creating an economically and environmental sound, self reliant and self
sustaining community, maintaining our quality of life and handing to the next
generation a country to be cherished, and free from problems of over
population.
