My Canadian friend has sent me his 'Wishlist'. Substitute 'Australian' for 'Canadian' and it would be a perfect wishlist for Australia.
 
Borders: Closed to illegal immigrants!
Illegal boats: Stopped.
Parliament: Obey its own laws.
Make politicians keep their promises or have them disqualified from further election. No programs scheduled to start past the next election.
Dual Citizenship: Abolished (you're either Canadian or something else. If you're something else, be a visitor then leave)
Language: English
Culture: Respect the Canadian culture and stop trying to change it to the mess that you left back home. Stop trying to change us!
Drug Free: Mandatory Drug Screening before Welfare!
NO Freebies to Non-Citizens! : Look after Canadians BEFORE donating to other countries. No Canadian welfare for any country that is developing nukes or spending more than a reasonable amount on arms.

Our leaders could learn something from Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, who gave this speech to the Duma (Russian Parliament) on February 4th, 2013:
"In Russia live Russians. Any minority, from anywhere, if it wants to live in Russia, to work and eat in Russia, should speak Russian, and should respect the Russian laws. If they prefer Sharia Law, then we advise them to go to those places where that's the state law. Russia does not need minorities. Minorities need Russia, and we will not grant them special privileges, or try to change our laws to fit their desires, no matter how loud they yell 'discrimination'. We better learn from the suicides of America, England, Holland and France, if we are to survive as a nation. The Russian customs and traditions are not compatible with the lack of culture or the primitive ways of most minorities. When this honorable legislative body thinks of creating new laws, it should have in mind the national interest first, observing that the minorities are not Russians."
The politicians in the Duma gave Putin a standing ovation for five minutes.
