Had this drop into my in box today but not had chance to research it to find out if its true, if it is then this lady has balls.

Prime Minister Julia Gillard -  Australia 

Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia, as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks.
 
 
Separately, Gillard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying she supported spy agencies monitoring the nation's mosques. Quote: 
 
 'IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT. Take It Or Leave It.
I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali , we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians. ' 
 
'This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom' 
 
'We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society. Learn the language!'
 
'Most Australians (but not me) believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture.'
 
'We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us.'
 
'This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you to take advantage of one other great Australian freedom, 'THE  RIGHT TO LEAVE.'
'If you aren't happy here then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted.'

Maybe if we circulate this amongst ourselves in the U.K., WE will find the courage to start speaking and voicing the same truths.   
If you agree  please SEND THIS ON and ON, to as  many people as you  know

Well Andy, that says it exactly as it should be said! It is straightforward honest to goodness plain speaking, giving no cause for Offence or Argument either!

its not true tho, she never made that speech 

no politician, least of all a leftie welsh woman would 

altho i can see it going down well down under - they have a huge resistance to immigration in Oz, ironic really as most of them work in bars over here

I would be inclined to agree BJ and when I was trying to get some backround on this I found that the word liberal (in relation to a political party) doesn't fit into the usually accepted sense of the word we see here in Europe.

Two-faced policy on refugees exposes Liberals' ugly side

Although the basic message on Andy C's text will resonate with many in this country it must be said - quite rightly in my view.
