Absolutely it is, the politically correct that look at a document without just getting a common sense story will have this country in communism in 40 years, feel sorry for my children's kids.

Like it has always been do you mean? Live out side of what society expects and you generally end up behind bars.  Or do you mean the small number of society that seems to grab the media attention and therefore get most of what they want?   Kevin

  Talking about the same thing over the weekend. Travel overseas and you will see  compared to most places Australia is over governed, over regulated and a whole lot less tolerant than thirty years ago. Somewhere along the way we lost the balls to stand up to the social engineers and moral exhibitionists, and we will suffer accordingly.

The new old game is being played these days.
Divide and conquer.
Everyone is now out for themselves.

If you class conforming to the norms that surround you, then yes.

A refugee settling into their local community (http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-08-15/iraqi-born-aussie-cowboy-on-the-ride-of-his-life/7734956)
































A bit of a different story to the normal that my headline would lead you to expect.

This has all happened before, where did the Afghan Camelleers go after the Ghan Railway was built.
I don't think too many went back to Afghanistan for a batter life, just sayin.
Just like the Young bloke in Paddler Ed's post, is he going back to the old country, don't think so.
It's the squeeeeeaky wheel getting the notice and attention syndrome.
While the Silent Majority have to put up with all the bull8hit that's created.
