I am blessed to live in a loving family home. I am not entitled in any way that I should. They are relative strangers I met on FB. My family have abandoned me. My friends have gone their own way. My church have a near depraved indifference to my welfare. But this loving family are Vietnamese and Christian. And refugees. The dad came here in the late seventies because a great immigration Minister Phillip Ruddock forced then PM Malcolm Fraser to be human when he wanted to copy Whitlam in hurting many. These Vietnamese took great risks coming to Australia by boat from Vietnam, not Indonesia. An estimated 50% perished on the journey. Vietnam was murderous and divided from civil war. The refugees were a proud people and did not assimilate as we now demand of refugees from the Middle East.
But the refugees from the Middle East are not the same people as the Vietnamese. The journey from Indonesia is not the same as that from Vietnam. And the purpose is different. Even were the refugees sourced from camps in Syria or nearby, the security issue is different to those refugees who came from Vietnam.
I thank god for my friends who have welcomed me into their home for a time. I think it a poor return for their hospitality to confuse them with terrorists and economic migrants. There is a solution to be found in the Middle East, and it isn't by depopulating it. It is not compassionate to subject people to people smugglers, but neither is it compassionate to ship over the pirates looking for greener pastures.
I suggest Red Gum ward vote for David Daniel Ball. And, after asking your local councillor about their views on Trump, Same Sex Marriage and Greyhounds, try and find out what it is they will do to make garbage collection cheaper and more efficient. Ask how they will make business more profitable. Ask what they will do to help address crime. Ask what they will do to improve public transport issues locally.

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell rock
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bell chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle...
