As an Auzzie myself, I have to admit that I agree with the sentiment of this article. Australia has accepted many immigrants from many different cultures and religions and at some point, people who migrate to Australia must accept the way Australians live and be governed by the same laws. I did not move to the Middle east to work and decide that I would live by my counties rules and not the rules of my host country! Last Xmas there were child care centres in Australia that were unable to hold Xmas parties for the children because the parents of the Muslim children who also attended the centre were offended! How stupid was this? Yet here in a Muslim country there were christmas decorations on open displays in various stores!
