With Liberal Party anti-muslim sentiment off the reservation, the hate emails are again doing the rounds

Abbott, Bernardi, Morrison, Bolt, Jones et al should be very careful about blowing those anti-Islam dog whistles, as it takes very little for Cronulla-style hate to bubble to the top once more.

Scott Morrison's belated attempt last Monday to cloak his stance with faux legitimacy by playing the gender balance card in an effort to limit the number of visas granted to asylum seekers arriving by boat does little to dampen the xenophobic flames conservative politicans were quick to fan again.

Various versions of the 'story' below has been around for more than a year on Facebook pages, in online chat rooms, the odd letter to the editor in obscure newspapers and unsurprisingly have recently resurfaced as a nasty tweet or email this year.
The Nik mentioned appears to only exist in cyberspace.

Nik Ziogopoulos states what is fact and what we all believe.
Nik would be in his 70's at least.

A GREAT PERSPECTIVE FROM A ‘NEW’ AUSTRALIAN -
Nik Ziogopoulos
I emigrated to Australia over 60 years ago – On the ship there were Poms,Italians (Spags), Germans (Huns), Yugoslavs (Yuges), Poles, Ducchys, Ukes (Ukrainians) and Greeks. (Note – All European people!!) all looking forward to starting a new life in Australia . I arrived with 30 quid in my pocket and that’s all I had to my name Did I put my hand out?? Of course not – I got a job and paid my way just like everyone else who came to this country back then.

Now, it’s my taxes that subsidize these people who think they have Gods given right (read Allah) to come here and criticise those of us who have worked for the country we now call home.

If I didn’t like what I saw when I got here I would have gone home – they have the same option.
If they don’t want to become an Australian,
they can GO BACK TO WHERE THEY CAME FROM
– WE DON’T NEED THEM HERE!!!

When will this stop?
They want 2 of their own public holidays, because Christians have
Christmas, Easter & Good Friday,
They force our children to eat Halal Meat Pies and Sausage Rolls from the school canteens, so the Muslim kids can feel more Aussie. We were not consulted about this change - they went ahead and just did it.
Our foods are slowly all becoming Halal foods, our cheeses, chocolates & even good old sanitarium foods

Our Government is ALLOWING this to happen.. It has to stop now, while we still have some power to be able to stop it.

Regarding Our National Anthem -

I am sorry, but after hearing they want to sing the National Anthem in Arabic - enough is enough. Nowhere or at no other time in our nation's history, did they sing it in Italian, Japanese, Polish, Irish (Celtic), German, Portuguese, Ukrainian, Greek, or any other language because of immigration.
It was written in English, and should be sung word for word the way it was written.

The news broadcasts even gave the translation -- not even close.

I am not sorry if this offends anyone, this is MY COUNTRY -
IF IT IS YOUR COUNTRY SPEAK UP ---- please pass this along

I am not against immigration -- just come through like everyone else. Get a sponsor; have a place to lay your head; have a job; pay your taxes, live by the rules AND LEARN THE LANGUAGE as all other immigrants have in the past -- and LONG LIVE Australia !

PART OF THE PROBLEM
Think about this:
If you don't want to forward this for fear of offending someone-
YOU'RE PART OF THE PROBLEM !!!!
Will we still be the Country of Choice and still be Australia if we continue
to make the changes forced on us by the people from other countries
who have come to live in Australia because it is their Country of Choice??

Think about it!

IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT.

It is Time for Australia to Speak up!
If you agree -- pass this along; if you don't agree -- delete it!
That's your choice.

(in this Australia where 'freedom of speech' is a fundamental right of every Australian)
THIS IS FROM A BLOODY GREEK BASTARD WHO MIGRATED TO AUSTRALIA
IN THE LATE 1940s
