Respect Australian values or leave: Costello (http://www.abc.net.au/lateline/content/2005/s1444603.htm)

Looks like multiculturalism is taking a hit in Australia. What's the over/under on how long it is before something is blown up down under?

I love those Aussies. They are about 15 years behind us in terms of political-correctness. The last time I was there, I heard an RAAF group captain address a female flight lieutenant as "chippie" in a pre-flight briefing.:D

I thought they were pretty open to immigrants/foreigners. IIRC, something like 20% of the people there are immigrants. I doubt some of those clerics are going to change so it will be interesting to see what happens when/if they start booting people out of the country.
