Our heritage has been built on the separation of church and state, something many Christians and Muslims would love to change and still do, so often Christians feel they can tell others how to live their own lives whether that be who can marry, how someone can die or the right to have an abortion.Our Christian heritage is not a religion.
I have no interest in your religion of PC, therefore I will be saying whatever I choose.
Political correctness - the devil!

With airing this thought, Muslims will grip the book more tightly. It is a test to remain faithful and not be swayed.In reality the only answer is to treat the moderates well, showing them the benefits of secular society, while all along steadily slowing them to become less religious by debunking their religious claims.

Having a religious test / Muslim ban would be stupid.
No need to put a ban on, just move applications from Muslim countries to the end of the list, or require educational standards that they are unlikely to have.
In any case, the arguments for continued immigration are weakening. Wage growth is stagnant which means that there is an oversupply of labour. Technology advances means less people will be needed to deliver services.
We have enough people now, and natural increase will take care of our future needs, we don't need to import more from anywhere.
I must strongly disagree. Education in Australia is a disgrace compared to most other countries.
We have disinterested students protected by "rights" and disinterested teachers, some of whom know little more than their students protected by "unions "
Give me an overseas trained Engineer or Scientist over a homegrown one any ole day of the week.

The Jews don't accept the NT, yet they are still able to ignore the bad bits of the ot mostly.
But Noco would have you believe the best way of taking power away from the Islamic extremists is to treat the moderates like crap, thats just silly, causing more polarisation gives power back to the extremists.

I wish you luck with that one buddy...We are already treating the "MODERATE" Muslims well with social welfare cutesy of the Australia Tax payer.....90% are unemployed or unemployable.....We are showing the benefits of society but they just thumb their noses and do what ever they want to do.....When the extremist get enough muscle power, the moderates will have to do as they are told or else they will be beheaded of stoned to death in public.
You obviously have little idea how Islam operate...They are absolutely ruthless.

Why not just judge each person in their merit.
Recruits to Islamic militant groups are likely to be well educated and relatively wealthy, with those aspiring to be suicide bombers among the best off, a study by the World Bank has found.
The research, based on internal records from the Islamic State group, will reinforce the growing conclusion among specialists that there is no obvious link between poverty or educational levels and radicalisation.
The data, leaked by a disaffected former member of Isis in March, includes basic information on 3,803 foreign recruits from all over the Islamic world and Europe who joined the organisation between early 2013 and late 2014, when the flow of volunteers to the organisation reached a peak.

I think the various problems can be distilled down to the role of the Principal in schools and dollar chase in higher education.
While there certainly seems to be a degradation in primary, secondary and tertiary outcomes, I think we have to consider what benchmarks we are comparing them to. In my generation I can clearly recall the many students who struggled, the many who left school at end of or before Year 3, etc. The only tests we had were exams and an IQ test in grade 7.
Australia has always had a cultural cringe about itself and it seems we are still content to beat ourselves up. For generation, upon generation we imported skilled workers and white collar bosses .... a taste of Nationalism in the Whitlam years changed that somewhat.
I have posted before how the schools have been so politicised that teachers do not have the scope we think they have in providing broad analogue education..... if they attempt to teach outside the set criteria they are put onto reindoctrination punishment programs. They are by and large robots.
The central characters are the Principals whose goals are to deliver KPIs set by district managers who answer to some head office and govt policy. The rigidity of that system means under performing students are jettisoned when they turn 17, teachers are disciplined harshly and also jettisoned if they try to use flare and initiative that causes a blip on the student performance radar. Permanency in position for teachers is a hard ask, because it takes away the flexibility by Principals to dump anyone that shi7s teh mob.
Engineers, let me tell you one day about the Indian trained "engineers" who have displaced the local and European breeds by taking blue collar wages for "professional" services.

So we import both Chiefs and Indians?
So what are the standards of the Indian engineers ? Better than what we produce here ?
Can you provide a link to your source that says 90% of Muslims are unemployed.
Also, you keep talking as if "Islam" is one thing or one group, Islam is not one thing, just as Christianity isn't one thing.
Actually it is 93%...Sorry for the mistake.
Perhaps I should rephrase Islam as the Islamic movement patronized by Muslims.

That's for refugees, what about migrant Muslims?
