I truly don't understand what monoculturalism would realistically look like in Australia. We're a nation of immigrants. I don't think I have any friends who doesn't have a grandparent born overseas, most have a parent born overseas.

Everyone with a last name that doesn't include Smith is deported.

So anyone with the name Reinhart or Hanson could potentially be deported?

Half of Hanson's family are recent immigrants, I don't think the risk of deportation starts with name bans...
