    An email that gets passed around

    Sir Edmund Barton's ideas on Immigrants and being an Australian in 1907

    'In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an Australian
    and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else,
    for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin.
    But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an Australian, and nothing but an Australian...
    There can be no divided allegiance here.
    Any man who says he is an Australian, but something else also, isn't an Australian at all.
    We have room for but one flag, the Australian flag....
    We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...
    and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the Australian people.'
    Edmund Barton
    1907


    Detailed Analysis

    A emailed quote on guidelines for the assimilation of migrants in to Australian society was not written by Australian Prime Minister Edmund Barton
    This emailed message, which contains a quote discussing the need for immigrants to assimilate fully to the Australian way of life, claims that the words were spoken by Australia's first Prime Minister Edmund Barton back in the year 1907. An old photograph captioned with the words "Edmund Barton 1907" is also included in the message. The quote suggests that immigrants to Australia should be treated with equality and without discrimination, but only if they are willing to become "in every facet an Australian, and nothing but an Australian". Many 21st Century Australians are likely to agree with this view of immigration and therefore view the quote is still relevant. So much so that they might eagerly comply with the email's request to keep the quote moving "until every Australian with a computer receives it".

    Even if he didn't write it the words are true. I respect anyone who comes to this country and becomes Australian but I don't care for those who don't. If they want to practise a way of life they had in their own country then stay there.

    We are rapidly eroding the Australian way of life and national identity cowtowing to every ethnic minority that doesn't like something about our country.

    As the topic of this post says if you want to be an Australian then be one. If you don't like or don't accept our way of life then close the door behind you when you leave because there is no room for you here.
    Cheers

    we are getting the same situations here with hispanics. we dont care they are here, but we are an english speaking nation of free individuals. i do know spanish as a second language, but that is besides the point.

    what a surprise considering it was originally part of Mexico
    Anything Ian says may or may not be garbage, it may also be his own opinion or it may not be his opinion at all, it may just be something he felt like stating anyone following his advice does so at their own risk and may be doing something Ian would actually advise against.
    And if you don't like what Ian has to say use the ignore function if you don't know how ask i will gladly tell you

    I too, am sick of these boat people coming to our country, spreading disease, speaking foreign languages, trying to change our way of life.
    They should have sunk the Supply, and the other 10 rotting hulks that they came with.
