Here in Australia we have no Bill of rights, [and i would like to include responsibility]'
what would you like to see etched in ink for all us Aussie people for eternity?

I recon all Australians should have to be able to swim 500 meters in surf conditions

That all Australians should reach a proficiency in education.....english.....maths

Personal responsibility should be an Australian Trait and expectation

Dual alliances/citizenship should be discontinued . come to aussie be aussie

The main language spoken should be English.

New immigrants should have a 10 year non voting period unless they be naturalized

So what do you think would be a fair expectation to grow this country with respect

So is it 'Naturalized' or 'Naturalised'

If we are going to have a 'bill of rights' we need to get it right to satisfy point 2.

What about Indigenous languages?
One cannot vote unless one is a citizen at the moment.

My spider senses are telling me that this will not end well. Remember that rule about 'no religious or political debates'? I think we're going to have to enforce that one here.
