Some Aussies have come up with a very novel way of getting a message across about the federal government’s commitment to resettle 12,000 Syrian Muslims in Australia. 7,000 of these will be settled in the economically depressed suburbs of Western Sydney where they say that non-Muslim Australians are already in the minority.
In the spirit of cultural diversity they decided to travel to [Prime Minister] Malcolm Turnbull’s residence in Point Piper to ask him to sign a petition to re-settle the Muslim refugees in Sydney’s [affluent] Eastern suburbs. To add to the fun they dressed as Muslims and played Islamic music and the Islamic call to prayer to give Malcolm and his neighbours a little taste of the cultural diversity that Australians in the Western suburbs are already having to put up with. Strangely only one person was deluded enough to sign their petition and when they asked her why she signed it she was unable to give them an answer.
