australia accepted 200000 boat people, page-41

Im sorry but i think everyone is over that racist card .I have friends who now decide to call themselves one because they cannot debate without being called one.You can be black white or brindle in this country and thats they way it should be .The racist card is taking away free flowing debate .Look further into the reasons people put forward.We are a democracy.The reasons for peoples views should not be taken away from them .In the 1950s i think Australia voted in a referendum not to ban the communist party.Wow! Would you think we would do that now.ps Thanks to trivial pursuit no research done into that.
