Australians. That's what I meant.
For two hundred years Australians had built a pretty good life out of a very
harsh environment. What qualities were needed from Middle Eastern people to
improve on that.
Australians could not live with them and shipped them back where they came from.
Thus the country lived free from social disruption over religious differences.
I'm saying that certain policy changes were carried out in the 1970s with no
reference to the past experience. This is not intelligent action. It was an
agenda of certain academics for some reason that no-one wants to question.
