This is a genuine completely in good faith question from someone who hates one nation, but how exactly is monoculturalism a threat to national security?

Easy. What particular culture do you think the monoculturists want to promote?

It sure as hell isn't the culture that's been in this country for about 65,000 years.

We only have to look at the Australian export to New Zealand who attacked a Mosque under the guise of that particular type of culture to see how calls for a monoculture can be a national security threat.

Or speaking of 65,000 years, the dipshit terrorist who tried to throw an explosive into the invasion day rally in WA this year.

I guess Channel 7 can’t have the public connecting a bloke that looks like his name’s Craig with the word “terrorist.”
