Because Albo came out the other day and he's like, well, there is no difference between an Australian and an immigrant.
And it's like, well, no, there is.
There's a big difference.
And if the government doesn't know that, then we're screwed.
Yeah, because one of my main fears as well, and I have some Indigenous friends as well that I went to school with.
It was a big school where they used to give out a lot of scholarships to Indigenous lads and get them in because we were a good footy school and they were great at footy.
So I have a lot of those lads that I'm friends with.
One of my main concerns, if we keep importing more minorities, you guys will become the minority of the minority and then you'll get forgotten about completely.
That's what I think as well.
And the only relationship that I actually care about at the moment is
is the relationship between, let's say, your traditional Anglo-Celt Australians, like me, and Indigenous Australians.
And if we can't get that right, then why are we importing any other minorities that now you're telling me that I have to hang around with and then have a relationship with them as well if we haven't even got the one that we need to get right in the first place?
Oh, yeah, massively.
And that sits both sides of the plate.
Yeah.
Yeah, I think and look, I just, yeah, I mean, my position on this over the past probably year has really developed a lot.
You know, I sort of had your similar view of, you know, people can come.
obviously what's happening right now is just uh completely unchecked um immigration that no one voted for by the way that's right but uh i've had more of a hardcore stance over the last few months to think well um if we can't define something we can't defend it and like i define an australian on the because let's say like on the world stage right um
Right now, if you were to pick someone out in the world stage from Australia, the likely chances of getting you or me would be much higher.
In 20 years, if we keep importing like we're importing, we're not going to be picking you or me out.
