Can we agree that it is wrong to import hate from foreign wars into our society in Australia? Refugees here from all backgrounds just want peace and harmony.

I thought I was just running hot, but it's 35C (95 Fahrenheit) outside here in Sydney. It's not in my imagination or all in my mind or hypothalamus. It actually is quite hot for this time of year (antipodean spring).
