Und warum nennt #SRF die unschuldig verurteilte Frauenstreik-Organisatorin Nadja #Batou nicht beim Namen, wenn der EGMR das tut?

Social cohesion and gritted-teeth tolerance

"In 2022, for the first time in decades, the government commissioned a review of multiculturalism, Towards Fairness. It found Australia had muddled on, but squandered its world-leading status and recommended the government create a minister, a permanent commission and department for multiculturalism. Labor MP Dr Anne Aly was appointed multicultural affairs minister in 2025."

She delivered a powerful speech last November:

"Aly declared it was time to end “the conditional form of multiculturalism, that kind of gritted-teeth tolerance that,

'You are welcome here as long as your food tastes good,

your celebrations are colourful, and

your music is present to the ears.’"

"But any questioning, any speaking out, any disruptive participation in any practice of citizenship will not be tolerated. Instead, acts of citizenship afforded to the broader community are viewed as acts of defiance when performed by the other and are met with cries of, ‘Go back to where you came from,’ and ‘Love Australia or leave it.’ " >>
