    This article asks whether migrants feel they belong, not whether other Australian’s feel that migrants belong.

      I don’t think I implied that the migrants’ right to belong rested on whether or not other Australians feel like they belong.

      I’m stating that they have as much right TO belong as they wish, considering the colonisers feel like they belong.

        No worries - not trying to tell you what you said or what you meant to say.

        FWIW I absolutely agree with you.

        There’s a whole lot of “closing the gate behind you” going on, even with more recent migrants.

          Yeah all good. It never hurts to clarify my point some more anyway. And yeah, that closing the gate mentality people have just makes it harder for anyone else looking for a good live to join later on.
