It doesn't even apply to immigrants, you've elected to bring in to the country people from varying backgrounds, beliefs, religions, ethnicities and cultures. All of those things are protected attributes by Australian law and so they are perfectly entitled to say "I'm indian Australian" or "I'm a Muslim Aussie". What your actually arguing for doesn't and can never exist, the last attempt to create one homogeneous white Australia was with the white Australia policy..

    Thank goodness, it about time. In Adelaide on the trains we are welcomed to the next stop. It used to be the next stop is ????? watch your step, now it's welcome to. You don't see it as a courtesy announcement because the word welcome has been hijacked. Not to mention SA strongly voted against the voice but here we are in SA with a voice group advising government. Local council has renamed 2 revamped libraries to Ngutungka and the suburb, its unpronounceable and not at all memorable. Its ridiculous, NO ludicrous.
