That's a bit extreme Feebs...i wouldn't migrate to a Islamic nation in search of better future knowing that there is no place for absolute minorities.
I guess they can build whatever they want, it's a free country as long as it conforms with the law and they dont condone anti social behaviours.

The media are so good at creating fear in people that's all this article is about insisting fear and hate towards others. I agree with Homer as long as they living within Australian law then I see no issue

Looks little different to the gated "white westerner" expat communities that proliferate in UAE, Qatar, Saudi etc. Maybe they got the idea from us westerners who want to stick to our own when on foreign soil....

Or all the Chinatowns around the world, though they mainly tend to be commercial districts rather than residential. I generally am not in favour of segregated living, whether it be government policy à la apartheid or self-segregation like these developments. Not conducive to integration of newcomers into mainstream society, as future generations will continue to be raised in an enclave. It certainly has not worked out well in France, Belgium, etc.
Classic News Corp though: the 'featured video' at the bottom of that article is Inside the Mosque at Ground Zero

In all fairness can you blame these people for wanting to live in their own select group when most of Western society look at them as Terrorist.
As I said in another post with elections so close and News corp now a big player in swinging peoples views on what they print what is the agenda this artical followed by the ground zero at the bottom.

We already have our cities divided into rich and poor And we all seem to naturally gravitate to our own otherwise we would not have suburbs which are majority African or Lebanese Chinese etc
So this suburb is just another progression
Will it help integration probably not but I don't see any harm in formalising whats already happening
Or you can play devils advocate and say it is good to have all the terrorists in one spot far easier for us to keep an eye on them and we know where to send in the drones

I guess everyone just needs to keep an open mind. Such communities may not be all bad. It may provide some insights into their culture and food. I am all for food...*droolz*. But they do need to understand that they are in Australia and not a segregated mini nation where they can apply their own law and it is not a closed society. They are not meant to harbour fugitive/s.

I live in a very multi cultural area in my street alone out of 34 homes only 5 Anglo Saxon families. We have a large Sudanese, Indian and Afghani community. My children attend the local Catholic school again in a class of 24 children 5 Anglo Saxon kids 2 of which are mine. It's rich cultural diverse area and I enjoy mixing with the women learning about their culture, their food etc. The school has run cooking classes where each women has made a traditional dish and we visit the one of many local ethic supermarkets with wonderful collection of spices. When my youngest was smaller I babywear (carry her on my back) in a woven wrap the African ladies would stop and look and the same I would look how they did their Kanga. My daughters 2 best friends are from Africa and the Philippines, kids don't see colour or race

Thank you for the enlightenment, Miss Monique. I thought H2 needed to wash his hands with bleach for such typing.
