No Tanner, we don’t wanna be like Bangladesh!

Dumber than dirt. Embarrassing. These are the people who govern us!
Andrew Bolt
Spot the four mistakes in Tanner’s speech:
Federal Finance Minister Lindsay Tanner has scoffed at the suggestion that Australia is overpopulated, saying other countries would laugh if Australians mounted that argument as an excuse for clamping down on immigration….
“…Bangladesh is roughly twice the physical size of Tasmania but home to about seven times the population of Australia.”…
In the next few months the Federal Government will release the latest Intergenerational Report. It will forecast that Australia’s population will grow by 65 per cent in the next 40 years, hitting 35 million by 2049.
Mr Tanner says that figure is a projection, not a target, and it is impossible to predict with any certainty just what the population will be in 40 years’ time.
Mistake one: We don’t decide on something so important as our population density on the basis of whether other countries might “laugh”.
Mistake two: We don’t decide on something so important as our population density by using Bangladesh as our model.
Mistake three: The relevant question isn’t the population density in our deserts, but in our cities – where most immigrants will actually settle.
Mistake four: 35 million may be a projection, but it is not impossible at all to predict that we will reach that number in even less than 40 years while this government continues to grow our popluation by 440,000 a year. Just do the maths.
Fact is, the Government has ramped up immigration precisely at a time when our politicians are refusing to build the power stations, dams, train lines and freeways – or even release the housing land – that these millions more people will need. And that’s without even considering the looming cultural tensions or the basic aesthetic objection to having so many more people in your face.

This is a satirical website. None of what you read here has anything to do with Islam, because Islam is a Religion of Peace. Everybody knows that good Muslims never do the things they do, (because Allah does it for them, Quran 8:12) and we know that only our misperceptions, ignorance and stereotyping of Islam makes Muslims chop off heads, kill and rape women and children, bomb subways, buses, nightclubs and fly jets into buildings. If it wasn't for the media and da Jooozzz, we wouldn't even know its happening.
We welcome open, honest, thoughtful, and vigorous discussion in the comments threads, so do yourself a favour and don't accuse us of being 'haters' because we are loving, tolerant people. Don't curse us, don't threaten us with death or hellfire, and don't accuse us of being "just like the terrorists" because we don't do to Muslims what they do to us or to themselves. Yes, we know that only idiots oppose Islam and sensible people submit, but you should know that we are ignorant bigots, hypocrites and Islamophobes, and we prefer to remain that way...
But since you are forcing yourselves (and your abhorrent belief-system on us) we will defend ourselves, because we must. Avoid tu quoque and ad hominem attacks. Don't bother with circular reasoning either, we been there, done it. If you annoy us, you will be banned and your posts summarily deleted.
Try to add to the discussion, don't try to sell snake oil, don't try to cover us with Islamic shrouds of kitman and taqiyya, don't bother with da'awa, (we've heard it before) don't spam us with long pieces of cut & paste, write in English, try to tell the truth,
(we know that's hard for you because you are all pathological liars) but the truth will set you free, try it!
One more thing: don't think you can post here under multiple monikers. You will quickly be disappeared! The same goes for
trufers and conspiracy kooks: you get one chance, one time. Blow it out of your ass if you must; put your stupidity on display.
But you won't be back, trust me on that.
Take a deep breath before you post, try to make some sense, do not just vent, do not make a fool of yourself and if you prove us wrong you can earn 10 Islamic dollars for your piggy bank. Deal?

It’s time we had a referendum in this Country on Immigration. I think we all know which way the vote would go.
Its not the population density but the population itself. I have serious objections having to put up with burqas, men with beards and wearing pyjamas, just after breakfast. Then the discordant wailing of allah akhbar, hijabs, jiljabs, these are acceptable in Bangladesh, and I would pay a for a package tour to see and even relish it, but I really have no wish to have it served to me every day.

You better have it sooner then later, or you will be outvoted. Blair and Brown have engaged in what can only be termed high treason, having deliberately, and as a matter of policy, attempting to destroy Britain by changing its population.
What escapes these idiot politicians is that they assume that the Muslim population will immediately become Western in nature and thought. The fact that they may prefer to institute sharia, completely escapes them.
So now we have Canada trying to impose certain “values” on its incomers. Good luck with that. They may succeed only until the Sharia merchants are in a minority. It wont be long if current trends continue.
I agree DP111, time to act now.
That’s the thing: We can sit here and write and write, but seriously, what are we to do? Clearly, this calls for more than posting comments on websites.
I come from a democracy (Norway) and the muslims there are kicking up huge shit as they do everywhere else in Europe. But really, what can we do, practically and within the law, to get rid of them?
The constitution says you can’t discriminate against religion and sartorial taste, beard down to knees, burqua; all that stuff.
And although it was never in the Norwegian constitution to condone all the crimes committed on Norwegian soil in the name of superstition: “Honour” killing, enforced marriage, torturing little girls by taking a knife to their private parts and rendering them unfit for sexual enjoyment, threatening or killing everyone who laughs at islam … somehow these tent-wearing throwbacks from the early middle ages have managed to convince an otherwise fairly enlightened government (Norway’s) that all the things they do are okay because it’s in their culture.
I mean, that must be it, mustn’t it, Norwegian government? You must just let all these crimes slide because, oh, I don’t know, they’re just being committed by foreigners on Norwegian soil with a foreign culture which we must respect because all cultures are equal but still a bit not like our Norwegian culture therefore they don’t have to be prosecuted under Norwegian law because, oh, they’re just RELIGIOUS crimes?
And just because the judge who does the right thing and puts one of these, (I was going to saysub-humans but that’s not politically correct, so let me say anti-humans) away for life would shortly after inevitably find him or herself missing a head?
Well that’s just collateral damage isn’t it. You can’t have a democracy without a few people being beheaded by jihadists now and then. It’s post modern, more than anything. It shows we’re a multi cultural, vibrant society. Or community. Whatever.
But seriously people, what can we actively do to get rid of this menace islam, I mean APART from commenting on people’s blogs?
Cecilie and all
In as much as it may appear as nonsernse, what you can do is to support our intervention in Iraq and Afghanistan, specailly the latter.
We are now committed in Afghanistan for as long as it takes to bring about the light of freedom, freedom for women, democracy, and tolerance for all – a noble goal that no one can disagree with it.
This is the only dog we have in the fight. On all other fronts we are in retreat. Fortunately, this dog is now beginning to win the war – not the war in Afghanistan, but the war in the West.
It is the only hope we have.
