I’m sure by now most people have heard the news comments about the MP who said that smelly immigrants should take a shower and use deodorant.

Although in fact that isn’t quite actually what she said at all.

Opposition citizenship spokeswoman Teresa Gambaro was lambasted by certain sections of the media and her political opponents yesterday for a few words in a rather long statement and sometimes that is what happens and we should be aware of it.
The point that was actually being raised by The Opposition Spokeswoman is both an interesting, and an important one, for a society where we do integrate and for the most part we all get along.

Beyond just considering what we want to do about the community response to issues like this how we deal with it defines us.  Can we have an open debate or are we so tied in knots with political correctness that no one can talk about anything at all?

What do we do about people who we welcome here but were raised to push and shove as an acceptable way to get through a group or do we explain to them when they arrive here that you wait in line?

I suppose we could leave it to the immigration department to explain to people that we wait in orderly lines in Australia.

We overcome fear by embracing acceptance

Yesterday I raised concerns about overly zealous politically correct influences that I don’t believe are helpful to promoting the “get along attitude” that most Australians have.


What most of us enjoy is a  “get along attitude” because it is more accepting than mere tolerance that is promoted with a divided and fragmented community.

After yesterday’s comment I got a message online from one of my friends who thought I was getting caught up in a media beat up and even fabricating some hysteria about an issue that he doesn’t think exists at all.

Now the reason this person doesn’t see the intolerance towards others in the same way the rest of us see it is quite simple.

He gets along with other people, including those who have different religious beliefs to him, he doesn’t just tolerate them, he accepts them and often as friends, like most Aussie do,

But that doesn’t mean that Australia’s freedoms and cultural icons, the traditions and cultures that we know and love aren’t under attack and don’t need defending.

What makes Australia a better place is the freedom to celebrate religious celebrations openly and freely and for us all to embrace each other in acceptance.

and if some whinger or politician or administrative panel or public servant writing a memo tries to tell us we can’t celebrate those beliefs openly for fear of some fictional person taking offence....tell em to
