P0 Box 1, Southport 4215 editorial@goldcoast.com.au facebook.com/goldcoastbulletin THE world’s anger and rage over the Manchester murders will not abate. These murders are now occurring with heartbreaking frequency. They come from the seriously demented ISIS mentality.
Sadly this violence has been locked into ‘parts’ of this religion for 1,500 years. But as a politician it is with rage that I point out that the people also to blame are the people who let them in. They handed out visas like confetti to the Middle East and North Africa.
The LNP/ALP Junta has been letting in the persecutors for decades, but not allowing in the groups that are persecuted – the Sikhs, the Jews and the Christians. Surely it is a million times better to rescue the persecuted, than place our brother Australians in grave danger from violent perpetrators.
To continue to bring in a quarter of a million people from these countries, so many steeped in an extremist, violent, paradigm of belief; and to do this every 10 years fills the heart of every Australian with rage and justifiable fear.
The LNP/ALP must bear significantly the burden of blame for the next multiple-murder event in Australia. Recently two murdered at Home Hill, one at the Parramatta Police Station, two at the Lindt Cafe. If we have restricted access to Australia there is still ample opportunity to take people from our traditional homelands and persecuted minorities. Whilst we rightly blame Hitler for murdering the Jews, we must live with the eternal shame of allowing only 15,000 Jews into this country in the 1930s. We should have saved at least half a million.
The nearly one million people coming in from North Africa and the Middle East in the last 30 years come from countries with no rule of law, no democracy, no JudaeoChristian ‘love your neighbour, as yourself’ belief systems and no egalitarian traditions. Many of the Middle Eastern crowd will not accept our values, but seem determined to impose their values on us. Would any Australian want their mother to put a bag over her head?
When the next murder occurs by these people, steeped in violence and sectarian hatred, then I am determined to see that the people that let them in, the ALP/LNP Governments, shall be blamed.
I will be moving a resolution that visas from the Middle East and North Africa be confined to the persecuted minorities – Sikhs, Jews and Christians.

I HAVE been watching The Young Pope on SBS and am curious as to why the church hierarchy dress in elaborate robes.
It seems to be a common practice with every religion. If my long ago recollections of the bible stories and what I remember of other religious stories back in the dim annals of my memory, the shamans, prophets and other people involved with promoting religious doctrine, dressed in plain and often shabby clothing. The expense involved in all those dress-ups and elaborate buildings, etc, would go a very long way towards alleviating some of the misery and hunger that abounds in the world today.
