I don’t really get what you’re on about but in my opinion, the right to silence shouldn’t be protected once you’ve spouted off and are questioned about whatever it was you spouted off about.

So the 'Right to Silence' can only be defended if it is invoked at the outset?
One cannot choose to 'exit' a discussion at one's own choosing?
But it is what you did.
If one cannot exit a discussion at one's own choosing, would that not mean we would all be locked into discussion for evermore?

Still don’t get what you’re on about. If I say something and others ask me for clarification, I’ll try my best to explain what I mean and if you still don’t agree, we can agree to differ - not spout out, disappear, refuse to answer, repeat ad nauseam 'silly mottie' or put up a logo that says 'tedious picking'. What is it exactly you’d like me to explain about something I’ve stated?

Skip the emotional language. Just defend the 'Right to Silence' for all, including yourself, or not.
I suspect you want to defend that right, when you choose to drop out of a discussion, but want others to forgo that right at your discretion.

Not really what my point was if I chose the wrong word so be it... But if I googled what's the most cosmopolitan city in the world I'd get an answer...
The word can be used to describe many things.
But let's not get hung up on it as Brigadier said.. Or words to that effect
The UK has always been attractive to immigrants because of its geographical location and its eagerness to accept and encourage workers from say India and Jamaica.
Australia is the complete opposite in that respect.
The USA is similar to the UK. Encourage cheap foreign labour but moan and blame the immigrants for all the countries failings.

You had a point?
What was that point?

Why is Australia the complete opposite. I'm not saying your wrong I just don't understand why.
Its remote ness and people were forced to go there rather than encouraged. That lives on in Australia.

Biggest Greek population outside of Athens.
Areas of Melbourne Croatian.
Lots of Italians about 5% Over 60000 Lebanese in Sydney.
95.000 from Iraq.
9 %from New Zealand.
Lots of Vietnamese living in Adelaide
5% from China
Large amounts from the Philippines the Irish
Lots of Torres strait islanders and those from the Pacific Islands.
24% from the United Kingdom (I wasn't forced to go there) My guess is, not many of the others above the UK were forced to go unless there parents dragged them.
Alot would have been refugees who nearly died trying to get there.
A diffrent mix to the US and UK. But most going there for a better life and to grow Australias economy because they want to.
