Surprising tolerance in Australia
Immigration critic was only "reprimanded", not fired. Pressure for her firing might grow, however
"A presenter for a NSW community radio station that specialises in multicultural programming has been reprimanded after she was revealed to be an administrator of several racist, anti-immigration groups on Facebook.
Terrie-Anne Verney, a presenter and sales representative for Griffith FM radio station 2MIA, was the administrator of the group "F--- Off, We're Full" and had also joined several Facebook groups including "Stop the Islamisation of Australia while we still can", "Australian Conservative United Party", the "Australian Protectionist Party" and "Australians against Multiculturalism".
In posts on the site she ridiculed foreigners who did not have a good grasp of English, claimed the Islamic faith was destroying the Australian way of life and said that attacked Indian students should go back home to study.
She also wrote that groups of immigrants tended to develop a "mob mentality", claimed KKK members she knew were "intelligent" and that she did not want immigrants who did not speak English or assimilate into "the Australian life" to be allowed into the country.
"If we allow the Islamic faith to continue to grow, sooner or later the Australian way of life will be destroyed," Ms Verney wrote in one post. "I can't even imagine where we start to fix the problems caused by the introduction of this *cough cough* religion and its invasion of our society, but something needs to be done. Before its (sic) too late."...
Edna Wakley, president of the Griffith Community FM Association and station manager at 2MIA, said in a statement that she was "horrified" by Ms Verney's affiliations, and that she was unaware of until yesterday. She said the station did "not condone in any way sites such as these" and would "take appropriate disciplinary action where necessary".
2MIA prides itself on "multicultural programming" and has several presenters from diverse backgrounds. Ms Verney works there as a sales representative and also presents a music show on Saturday afternoons....
When Ms Verney was approached for comment over her Facebook posts, she said it was "unfortunate" patriotism was now regarded as racism. "As a proud Aussie, I welcome new Australians in the hope and belief that they too, become proud Aussies," she said. "This country is beautiful the way it is, and like most average citizens, [I] do not want our society to change to suit others' needs."

The only thing wrong with her statements is, they're true. But living under "PC'ism", the truth is not always acceptable unless it has been pre-approved by the Left. Aussies should build a monument to her for trying to save their country. In fact, they should build it now rather than waiting 25-50 years, when they learn the hard way that she was right all along.
I've worked at multicultural places, but I always hide my anti-illegal immigration views, specially on facebook! Nowadays employers check what you're doing on facebook, so it's really dangerous to be honest there.
How sad that we've reached the point where we're afraid to be honest. You will never see anyone on the Left thinking that way. Maybe that's why this country's turning into an international public toilet.
There is no tolerance here, they are simply trying to force her to resign. You can help her out by going here -> http://australianidentity.net/index.php?topic=3548.0
2MIA didn't force Verney to resign. She got fired for conduct likely to cause the station to be held in public contempt. Wonder why any sane person would consider suggesting holding a gun to international students' heads to persuade them to leave the country to be disreputable conduct? I mean, it's her opinion and she's entitled to it, isn't it? You should be able to threaten murder against those darn students with pride!
