... Sydney's Hurstville ... where 43 per cent of the locals speak Chinese... At this rate, Hurstville will be entirely Chinese-speaking by the middle of the 2020s...And housing designs are the least of their ideals we have to worry about.
... Arabic is spoken at home by 40 per cent of the population in Chullora ... in the city's southwest.
... Chinese speakers have invaded Hurstville about twice as fast as Arabic speakers have moved into Chullora.
... Cabramatta ... where 35 per cent of the locals speak Vietnamese at home...
... Melbourne CBD ... now has 29 per cent of people who speak Chinese at home.
The truly extraordinary feature of Melbourne's new Chinese residents is the speed with which they have arrived...
... this group, as early as next decade, will have the wherewithal to display their success in new housing designed to reflect not Australian aspirationalism, but middle-class Chinese and Arab ideals.

35 years on, I still fight racism - Patti Chong, WA
July 24, 2008
For more than 20 years, I have championed for a diverse magistracy and judiciary ... but all we get are the WASPCs (White Anglo Saxon Protestants/Catholics) and WECs (White European Christians)...A commenter notes:
Possessing the qualities befitting of a member of the magistracy and judiciary are the least important factors, so it seems. I know because for 20 years I have applied for every advertised vacancy in the magistracy...
I have remained silent all these years, but by speaking out, I hope to pave the way for the future CALD lawyers coming through the profession to be recognised for who they are and not be judged on the colour of their skins.
... in the context of Dr Peter Wilkinson's book The Howard Legacy, I lose the subtle and just become entrenched...Sinophobia? Yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes.
With the prospect of an Asian elite endangering our national sovereignty, I can sense a future where Sinophobia outdoes Islamophobia in this country. In which case positions in government, judiciary and the military will be guarded as fiercely as secular Turkey guards against Islamists.
Racial segregation in Goulburn prison
7 July, 2008
Yarding and racial clustering are terms used to describe how different racial groups are segregated within prisons. It's a controversial practice that is used to reduce violence between different racial groups. In July this year, the US Supreme Court ordered gaols in California and Texas to phase out racial clustering and to begin implementing policies of racial integration. The Court found the practice of yarding to be racist in nature and said that in the long run it failed to reduce violence...
In Australia, to my current knowledge, the only gaol where yarding was introduced, and is still in practice, is Goulburn Gaol in New South Wales... Each yard contains an ethnic group – there is the Aboriginal yard, the Asian yard, the Middle Eastern yard and the Pacific Islander/Maori yard. Anglo Australians are also kept separate from the other groups...
When the racial clustering policy was introduced in Australia in 1998, NSW gaols had the highest inmate to inmate violence statistics in Australia. It was thought that inmates would be more easily managed if they were separated. This proved to be true. Yarding did greatly reduce the amount of murders in Goulburn Gaol. It is still a violent gaol but not like the 'Killing Fields' of old...
In Goulburn Gaol, prior to the introduction of some yarding of inmates in 1998, there had been seven murders, five of those were within a 12 month period. Goulburn was known as the 'Killing Fields'...
At Goulburn the wars continued and full yarding became the norm by 2001. However, despite yarding, tensions continued to increase and assaults between the groups and pay-back assaults continued. Gradually though, inmate on inmate assaults did decrease.
Welcome to nation of university ghettos
July 23, 2008
A WIDENING gulf between local and foreign university students is creating segregated classes, cultural cliques and religious ghettos, raising fears of a backlash on campuses.
International education is a $12.5 billion industry, and foreign students' fees account for an average 15 per cent of universities' overall funding, but a higher education experts warns of "informal but real segregation".
