logco; if your "... many SA friends ..." are white SA farmers I congratulate you on your loyalty to them but question your capacity for being objective. As for why they should be "INVITED to Australia" at the same time as the Coalitions turns Australia's back to so many desperate and vulnerable asylum seekers who are not white ... if it looks racist, walks and talks like racists, nods and winks like racists then there's a good chance it is indeed racist.
It's therefore my view that Peter Dutton and his entourage are working overtime to resurrect Australia's historical "White Australia Policy" but just like some posters on this forum doesn't have the guts of an Arthur Caldwell to admit such.
