Funnily enough I disagree with much what he said.

1, The average aussie has imposed their view points on the indigenous population - so to say "We are an x,y,z-law country, if you want to be an a,b,c-law country - find one" kind of is a bit hypocritical.

2, He mentions "Christian this, that, the other". I don't want the laws of the country I live in to be based upon any religious ideal. I want laws based upon the consensus of the masses not upon some religious indoctrination (The 10 commandments, sharia law etc).

Certainly is. Been replaced by a chap who is planning an apology to the Indigenous Australians. A real, meaningful, substantive apology. Bit of a shift from the 'don't like it then p!ss off' regime...

However, that does mean Howard and Costello are available for employment

Same with the US and native americans, and here with the romans, french etc etc, but that was several centuries ago. Whether it was 'right' for one country to invade another is another question, but the fact remains that the country is as it is and you can't judge people for what their distant relatives did.

Think you've missunderstood what he ment. He wasn't saying that laws should be based on any religious ideal, Christian or otherwise (hence the secular state statement). He was commenting on traditions that ARE based on a religion, so that's why Christmas is celibrated, and not other religious holidays.

Big differences there, I'd much rather be somewhere they celebrate christmas than somewhere you're likely to get shot for drawing a cartoon!

I applaud that statement by John Howard, if only more people had the guts to go against the PC brigade and stand up for the will of the vast majority, democracy and decency.
