Worth thinking about..???
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

Our flag bears the stars that shine at night,in our southern sky of blue
And a little old flag in the corner,that's part of our heritage too
It's for the English,the Scots and the Irish,who were sent to the ends of
the earth
The rogues and the schemers,the doers the dreamers,who gave modern
Australia birth
And you who are shouting to change it,you don't seem to understand
It's the flag of our law and our language,not the flag of a far away land
(Though there are plenty of people who'll tell you now,when Europe was
plunged into night
The little old flag in the corner was their symbol of freedom and light)
It doesn't mean we owe allegiance to a forgotten imperial dream
We've got the stars to show where we're going,
And the old flag to show where we're been.

Yeah..saw that. What I want to know is why the swine and their families are NOT deported! The pricks intended to blow Aussies to smithereens. 
And this is what the cry-baby and other family members had to say............

Meanwhile, family members have criticised the hefty sentences handed out in Sydney's terrorism trial, saying murderers get less.
"That's a very big sentence," said the sister of the youngest of five Muslim men sentenced to maximum terms of between 23 and 28 years.
"Not even murderers get sentenced that much.
"Twenty-three years, that's half of his life," she said of the sentence imposed on her 25-year-old brother.
"It's not fair to him, our community or our religion."
Relatives of some of the other men yelled out expletives as they heard the sentences via closed-circuit TV outside the court room at Parramatta in western Sydney.
One woman began sobbing as two men shouted "f***" and left the building.
The sister, who said she attended every day of the 10-month trial, said she believed her brother was innocent.
"He was not planning any mass murder or terrorist attack," she said.
"He is no extremist; the only extremists are people like ASIO, they go way deep."
She said the jail sentences would only serve to strengthen the faith of the convicted men.
They would not cause a divide between Muslims and non-Muslims in the Australian community, or incite any other Muslims to take extremist action, she said.
She read out a poem dedicated to her brother that said in part: "They handcuffed your spirit, they stole your freedom, they locked you up for a crime you didn't commit, they locked you up because you fit the script."
She said her brother would have "the last laugh" because the truth would come out before God on judgment day.

UPDATE :
Five Jailed for Planning Australian Terrorist Attack (Update1)
Share Business ExchangeTwitterFacebook| Email | Print | A A A By Nichola Saminather
Feb. 15 (Bloomberg) -- Five men found guilty of plotting a terrorist attack in Australia were given maximum prison sentences today ranging from 23 to 28 years.
The plot was at an advanced stage and could have resulted in an attack in early 2006, New South Wales Supreme Court Justice Anthony Whealy said in comments broadcast by Sky News.
The men, aged between 25 and 44, were arrested in November 2005 for stockpiling chemicals to make explosives and were found guilty in October last year. Each had a “considerable volume of extremist material” in his home, including videos showing the beheading of hostages, Whealy said. The material was meant to rouse the empathy of Muslim viewers, he added.
During the 10-month trial, prosecutors said the five men wanted to terrify and intimidate the Australian public and government in retaliation for wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Australian Broadcasting Corp. reported. Australia has about 1,550 soldiers under NATO command in Afghanistan and ended its military mission in Iraq on July 31.
The men had instructions on how to make bombs capable of causing large-scale death and destruction, according to the ABC.
The men will spend at least three quarters of their sentences behind bars, before being eligible for release on parole, Whealy said in the televised sentencing today.
