Not one lower house X team candidate has a snowballs chance of coming in second, which is what is needed, to get over the line for preferences to prevail to get elected.
Senator Xenophon is not standing this time. When he last did he got 25% of the SA vote. A truly remarkable result. But in the last SA State election his X-team achieved only 12.5%.
The Federal Strategy this time seems to be to send out sacrificial lambs in the lower house seats in the hope that publicity and upper house preference deals will raise that 12.5% up to the 14.5% necessary to get the otherwise unknown Stirling Griff home in the Senate.
Nearly two dollars of Federal funding into the party coffers for every vote will come in handy too.
Meanwhile Islam marches on uncontrolled.
Europe does not have an "immigrant crisis" it has an "Islamic Immigrant crisis."
Australia can by pass the mass tragedies of Paris and Cologne. To date we are still able to count Islamist Terrorist attacks in Australia.
Must we wait until we are faced with the overwhelming un-policable crime that has finally caused Chancellor Merkel's rhetoric that immigrants who commit crimes should be sent home.
We must ignore Islamic calls for exemption from Australian Civil and Criminal Law.
They are already empowered far more than is good for us. They said on Australia day last year: "Take T shirts off the market that read" “Australia love it or Leave it”. So we do.
Give us special rules for face masks they say. So we do. Give us special rules for sexism in schools and Mosques they say. So we do.
Give us special rules for female genital mutilation they say. We haven’t yet so they do it anyway. Same with child marriages and it appears anything else that they feel like doing in breach of Australian Law.
If you do not live within Australian Civil and Criminal laws your feelings of not belonging are accurate; But you only do not belong in Australia by your own choices.
Too much carrot and not enough stick. Too much financial assistance. Too much tolerance, too much putting up with breaches of Australian Law.
If your infant child has been genitally mutilated you must be criminally guilty until you prove your innocence. If your 10 year old is married in breach of Australia you are guilty. If a boy is taught to kill to go to heaven you have committed a crime. Any School, Mosque or Prayer room that teaches this must be regulated or shut down.
There has to be some stick to go with the carrots.
