    'This idea of Australia being a multicultural community has served only to dilute our sovereignty and our national identity.'

    A rapidly expanding social networking site has been slammed for its racist taunts against immigrants to Australia.

    The Facebook Group, “F*** Off, We're Full”, has nearly 65,000 members and believes any immigrants coming to Australia must adapt to what it calls the ''Aussie lifestyle.''

    "This idea of Australia being a multicultural community has served only to dilute our sovereignty and our national identity," the site states. "As Australians, we have our own culture, our own society, our own language and our own lifestyle."

    The website is full of debate on its discussion board. The latest topics put up for comment include: Will Indian race-rioters be hunted down? All foreigners need to be euthanized?

    Matt, an active member of the group, said he joined because he believed immigrants were ruining the Australian way of life.

    He believed the Federal government's current immigration policies were too lenient. Female member Courtney said she recognised the site was racist but stood by its beliefs.

    Murdoch University senior psychology lecturer Dr Anne Pedersen said the Facebook members were contradicting themselves.

    Dr Pedersen believed shutting down the group would be pointless but said there was a limit to freedom of speech.

    Facebook's Statement of Rights and Responsibilities states that any content that is ''unlawful, misleading, malicious or discriminatory'' could be shutdown.

    We are full. Why are we still bringing them in?By: Mark | 22-Oct-2009 Reply | Forward What is the go with the recentw ave of "head wobblers" coming to this country in their droves? I work for a recruitment company and get inundated with new entrants seeking employment. Suffice to say, they don't get a look in (I just delete their resume's without so much as a look in). Further, what about middle easterners? We should just simply turn the tap off. they come here, they don't adjust to our way of life, they are arrogant. Go home the lot of you I say.
    MrBy: gavin | 08-Jul-2009 Reply | Forward There are too many immigrants in Australia. it is a matter of water availability, stress of the infrastructure.I think it's about time other nations, or their journalists showed better manners and recognizing our right to run our country as we pleaseI find it amazing that Indian Journalists talk about rasism in Australia. Australia has no caste system
    Current Australian scenarioBy: Raja | 16-Jun-2009 Reply | Forward Many Indians in Aus. (v fair sincere, more critical of India) are realizing social dymanics/bias Australia "now it is Indians' turn long a preferred immigrant group, vs local inhabitants indegenous Aboriginals, other migrants, incl: Europe, Jewish (they have lobbied quietly to maketheir suburbs more safe and liveable, many Indian students live there), Italians, Greeks, Germans, Croatians and everyone. Australia has many economic and Govt policy problems. The current Govt has not done enough to compensate Mr Howard Govt who had slashed education,medicine budgets, during 11 years tenure. Earlier Govt,some excellent sincre work of Imm Minister, Ms Amanda Vanstone wrt liberalizing off-shoreexperts in short supply, via 457 visa to allow more intakes of skilled migrants and students- enormous economic assets. As a former SE Asian great leader said of Australia "Australia wants your money but not you". Lots of ignorance in otherwise v tolerant peaceful friendly kind population
