The Asianisation of the Sutherland Shire.
This graph tells the story in a glance (scroll down to “Change in country of birth”).
note: The positive growth in the South African data most likely reflects “white flight”, people fleeing the crime capital of the world: South Africa.
Of course this post will illicit cries of “racist!” and the like, however Asianisation is a process, not a person. This is not about hate, it is not racist or hateful to resist such a process in the same way its not racist to oppose a religion like Islam for example.
Australians are by and large fairly relaxed when it comes to non-Europeans such as Asians. Back in the 1920’s at the height of the so called “White Australia Policy” there was a Chinese man who ran the local corner store in a town in Adelaide. The Immigration department wanted to deport him, however the locals put a petition together against the deportation and consequently the immigration department relented and the man was permitted to stay. If on the other hand, you asked those same people if they wanted their entire town to be Asianised, they would no doubt have been horrified at such an idea.
All through history there has been the movement of people, but never in history has a government used immigration as a tool to commit genocide against it’s own people as the Australian Establishment has been doing against Black and White Australians.
I think if we build up gradually inside Australia a proportion of people without white skins, then there will be a complete lack of consciousness that it is being built up… and that we will arrive at a state where we will have a multi-racial country without racial tensions - and perhaps the first in the world.

I would like to see a stage in the 1980s where Australia is becoming the only true multi-racial country in the world, and that is the Liberal Party’s aim.
Liberal Senator (and founder of the Australian Democrats) Don Chip - 1972.
The Liberal Party has a proud record of high achievement in migration policy… It was a Liberal Government that abandoned the White Australia Policy.
Former Liberal Prime Minister John Howard.
The Howard government allowed more Asians into Australia than any government preceding it. It is therefore ironic and fitting then that this lead to Howard’s humiliating defeat and the loss of his own seat of Bennelong (which had become Asianised under his own immigration policies) to Maxine McKew and her Asian-centric campaign.
Development in the Sutherland Shire
Having lived in the Shire my entire life, I have observed many changes. The most obvious ones are the large number of units that have been built in recent years. Gone are the houses and backyards from childhood years, replaced by less congenial blocks of units. Presently the height of unit blocks is restricted, however in areas such as Burwood and Strathfield, there are blocks as high as fourteen stories - they have what I term a “Hong Kong skyline” - with the demographic to match.

Large scale unit developments have a tendency to attract large numbers of Asians. Even though population projections show the Shire’s population will remain fairly stable over the next decade, its clear from the graph at the top of this page that it will undergo a serious demographic change; People leaving or passing away are being replaced by Asians - The process of Asianisation:
Of course immigration itself is a federal domain, however we should be looking to preserve our heritage in the Sutherland Shire by ensuring that developments promote our heritage rather than dilute it. Its disappointing then to see some in the council have instead opted for a more liberal approach to development in the shire -
Shire lowers planning hurdle
The involvement of Sutherland Shire councillors in development decisions will be lessened after a split vote last week.
Liberal David Redmond voted with ALP and Shire Watch Independent councillors to force the change, which is aimed at cutting delays and costs associated with development applications.
In 2003 the council set up an Independent Hearing and Assessment Panel of experts in law, environment and urban design, none of whom may work or live in the shire, to assess certain development applications.
St George and Sutherland Shire leader, 03/08/2006
An assessment panel consisting of people who do not live in the shire. How can we expect such a panel to be appreciate our heritage when they do not live in the shire? They cannot. This is why it is the obligation of our councillors to make decisions that would preserve our inheritance.
The Sutherland Shire is the birth place of modern Australia, let’s ensure the Shire remains true to the founders and their vision for this great nation.

This is very worrying. Thank you for the enlightening entry Darrin. I wonder when those who oppose the ethno/genocide of our people will stop being labeled as “racist”. The term “racist” is no better than name calling these days…. and name calling is merely used as a childish (but effective) method to limit and degrade free speech among the Australian people.
Fine, let’s replace the term “racists” with “unintelligent, unsympathetic and dull people that tar everyone with the same brush”. I think though that “racists” seems shorter and more convenient.
“Of course this post will illicit cries of “racist!” and the like, however Asianisation is a process, not a person. This is not about hate, it is not racist or hateful to resist such a process in the same way its not racist to oppose a religion like Islam for example.”
Of course it’s racist Darrin.
The term racism is not limited only to discrimination against individuals.
Whether you discriminate against an Asian person or the ethnic group as a whole, it is undeniably based on race.
Just as it would be sexist if you opposed women moving to Sutherland.
Why is there no mention of “Australian born” on the chart?
I think that’s where you’ll find your ‘white element’.
You are racist.
Haha- “Units attract Asians!!!!” God, what a stupid thing to say. Hey, maybe it’s the increasing population due to mkore births and immigration from all races and the rental crisis, not ‘them asian scum’.
True no one wants to have a lower standard of living than their parents, yet that is what is happening. The government floods the country with people who lower wages force the house prices up and in response they knock down the traditional way of living in favour of dog box units and expect you to be happy living in one.
Micheal the fight against Asianisation in Australia is an old one though the reasons ( that you have touched on ) have not changed. Rudd and Swan have admitted they are bringing 300,000 skilled and semi-skilled workers into Australia in order to lower the cost of Labour.
Oh my god.
This is just ridiculous. Seriously, dude, you need to chill your pickles a little. I can’t see why it’s such a big deal to have many Asians living in the area.
Yeah, me neither Miss Sushii
In your article, you suggest that the immigration policies (specifically towards migrants from Asia) of Australia subsequent to the relaxation and abandonment of the White Australia policy, are responsible for the genocide of white Australians. What a ridiculous, dangerous and disgusting statement. According to the 1948 United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (CPPCG), genocide is defined as “any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: killing members of the group; causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life, calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; [and] forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.”
Immigration policy does not, can not, and will never, bring about genocide. Our government, nor any Australian government since our colonial forebears (and their systematic culling of Aborigines), have never engaged in genocide. Statements like yours, however, display the xenophobic ignorance of the kind of creatures guilty of genocide throughout history.
Immigration from Europe, the Americas or Africa is no different to immigration from Asia. The only thing that separates them is our attitude toward the different groups. And your attitude is that of an ignorant, racist, uneducated pig.
Belinda, does any the following quite meet your definition of genocide?

“I said in my first days as prime minister that Australia’s future depended upon becoming more enmeshed with Asia. And that indeed happened in the period which is I was speaking… demography is working as inexorably as economics to make Australia’s future part of Asia.”
bob Hawke, 1994.
Sure sounds like a plan for ethnic cleansing to me.
No it actually sounds like a plan for different people living side by side harmoniously. Nowhere is there mention of taking white babies and putting them with Asian families and teaching them that they are Asians or systematically having Asian boys rape white women. It doesn’t seem like anyone is planning on rounding up every white male in the Shire and shooting them after forcing them to dig mass graves. Not much comparison at all really.
Since a lot of these immigrants are providing high level services to Australia, what is your solution that wouldn’t actually harm our collective welfare? take for instance your average Base hospital around Australia, do you have any idea how many doctors working in them are Asians or of Asian descent (like my wife)? How would the local communities feel if they no longer had access to their services? Where do you propose to get these specialists from, and then how do you propose to get them to work in unpopular rural areas? This is just one example in one field.
The truth is, our national religion of “she’ll be right mate” means that a lot of white Australians (like myself) would rather live out their lives in mediocrity than strive and work hard like these immigrants, which means that there aren’t enough suitable white candidates for these elite jobs. At the other end of the spectrum in strata cleaning or fruit picking where there is a real labour shortage due to non-interest, many would rather sit on the dole than earn an honest dollar, even if it isn’t much more than the dole.
The contributions of immigrants strengthens our society and its survivability, they do not weaken it. They create more jobs than they take and society as a whole is better off. Social tensions are just a part of growing pains, like Irish/English relations, they will pass with time until we can just laugh about them and all you are doing is contributing to the lengthening f that process. You cannot alter it, your fragmenting movement is too insignificant. Adapt or go under.
Don’t give us the “not part of the LGA ambit” nonsense, you obviously have an ideology that goes beyond LGAs and if you could act upon it, you would.
In fact the only “danger” to the white races is of miscegenation, of which I am a proud practitioner, and since that is practised by choice that shouldn’t be anyone else’s concern. It also happens to be better for our collective survival and health.
Multiculturalism is simply a form of systematic ethnic cleansing.
“take for instance your average Base hospital around Australia, do you have any idea how many doctors working in them are Asians or of Asian descent (like my wife)”
It is simply part of the whole process, to make society dependent on those who will come to replace us in order to make changes difficult.
“No it actually sounds like a plan for different people living side by side harmoniously.”
Like this plan? -
Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar:
Allah’s Apostle said, “You (i.e. Muslims) will fight with the Jews till some of them will hide behind stones. The stones will (betray them) saying, ‘O ‘Abdullah (i.e. slave of Allah)! There is a Jew hiding behind me; so kill him.’
Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 176.
quote from admin: “Multiculturalism is simply a form of systematic ethnic cleansing.”
Really?
1. multiracial adj. Made up of, involving, or acting on behalf of various races: a multiracial society.
2. ethnic cleansing n. The systematic elimination of an ethnic group or groups from a region or society.
Clearly not. In fact, they are distinctly, clearly and inarguably opposites.
And as to your comparison between the enlightened ideas of recent Australian political figures with your quote from a 1500-year-old sacred foreign text… wow. It says volumes about your appalling bigotry and absolutely nothing about Australia’s immigration policy or the attitudes of our politicians.
“It is simply part of the whole process, to make society dependent on those who will come to replace us in order to make changes difficult.” Darrin with limited and quite frankly paranoid thinking like this you clearly have not escaped your ideological roots destroying any chance you have of becoming electorally relevant.
How does it explain the gap between available qualified people and demand for them that arose allowing easy migration for people like my wife?
How does this explain the high levels of long term unemployment amongst un/lowskilled workers at the same time that certain industries are begging the government to bring in seasonal workers from overseas.
The real conspiracy is that we are so anaesthetised with easy access to social security that there is insufficient incentive for the workshy to pull their weight and stop scrounging when opportunity exists. Our safety net has been turned into a viable lifestyle that undermines people’s ability to be responsible for themselves or their offspring.
What is your real life solution to these issues beyond mouthing the party line of conspiracy and complaint like some old fashioned commo whose ideology is probably slightly more relevant to the population at large than your own?
Another point on Strathfield. have you actually alighted from at train there to see how much density there is to these high rise flats? Not much. According to one of mu university aquaintances who grew up there, high numbers of Asians (esp. Chinese) have been living in the area for far longer than these flats have been around. There is a statue in Ashfield showing the long term links of the area to Asian immigration. Your theories are intellectually bankrupt and ideologically driven instead of arising from the evidence they attempt to shape the evidence, not unlike some soft left PC loon.

That is as good a definition of ethnic cleansing as you could want and multiculturalism is the vehicle.
Quote: “That is as good a definition of ethnic cleansing as you could want and multiculturalism is the vehicle.”
You are wrong. Ethnic cleansing means seeking to REMOVE one nationality, race or culture from a region or group. Multiculturalism is having two or more nationalities, races or cultures living TOGETHER in a region or group. There is nothing genocidal about a policy of multiculturalism. Your failure to acknowledge or understand this fundamental difference only affirms your own fear and bigotry.
If you procreate with another of your own race, there is no dilution of the “European-ness” of your genes. The fact that others - by choice, as Abdul has pointed out - marry and procreate with members of other cultural groups, is not attributable to government policy, except perhaps that there is more proximity, and therefore opportunity.
I cannot understand what it is that you are seeking to avoid and what you are seeking to preserve. What are the “Asian” values which you see being at odds with “Australian” values? Hard work? Close-knit families and communities? Personal endeavour? In fact, if they didn’t look and sound different, I would suspect that you would find most Asians thoroughly indistinguishable from most Australians.
Australians pride themselves, as you say, on being a fairly relaxed lot - except when it comes to our still-underdeveloped national identity. Whether you like it or not, geographically we are closer to Asia than we are to any other continent. It makes sense, culturally and economically, to trade and converse with our neighbours.
