Bernice: that the initial colonization of Australia was by 160,000 convicts used to tame Australia (aka cheap labour) .. ok. The cap fits there.
That all non Aborigine folk are Immigrants.. The cap fits.
A little information that the likes of Nick Griffin doesn't mention when moaning about immigration is that about 1,000,000 UK passport holders are now permanently living abroad in Europe.. N' that most Immigrants do in the end integrate with the local society. Unless the local population are like the members of the BNP who have such a limited view based on some strange concept that only people who have roots in the UK dating back to the last ice age should live in the UK.
Australia is short of skilled workers. You need immigrants.
