MPs back Carr's go-home remark

Federal politicians from both sides backed NSW Premier Bob Carr's comments that migrants unwilling to live by Australian law should go home.

Mr Carr has attracted criticism for saying those responsible for this week's drive-by murders in Sydney should "obey the law of Australia or ship out of Australia".
The federal government and Muslim community groups said the premier's comments were divisive and fanned racism.

But federal Education Minister Brendan Nelson said average Australians did not like that kind of violence by anyone.

"None of us want to see this kind of violence, this kind of retribution," he told reporters.

"The message to people who want to engage in this sort of behaviour is that they should be subjected to the full force of the law.

"Anyone who thinks that they will be coming to Australia and want to bring that sort of behaviour with them, they would do well to listen to Mr Carr's remarks because that is what the average Australian thinks.

"It's this sort of behaviour that gets right up our nose."

Too right. Doesn't Johnny Foreigner know that in Australia you follow Australian ways? Shoot your wife and kids, then shoot yourself. If murder-suicide is good enough for fair dinkum Aussies it's good enough for bloody immigrants!

Ooooooh! Satire!
