Intolerance and bigotry are pretty high in your value structure eh? Give yourself an uppercut.

I reckon that, on average, gays are way more tolerant, understanding, open minded and peaceful people than the average straight - homophobic or otherwise. We could probably do worse than have an influx of them.

Your hypothesis has some massive holes in it though, which I won't go into in case I threaten my 'unbiased moderator' status.

O M G your right ,we'll be over run with cafe's and small production theater musicals!!!!!

Phenomenon restricted to this colourful minority folklore, or somebody personal choices in life doesn't bother me at all.
What I am worry about is premeditated business schema similar to that the propel immigrant boats.
New created legal loophole could be merciless exploited by business in human trafficking.
If people are desperate enough to risk their life in sinking boats, pay for that pleasure $20,000 and wait even 5 years for clearance after arrival lets looks like alternative present itself.

Every person 18 and over living in Australia could nominate every other person in the whole world as a partner, marry and legally bring to live here. Almost regardless of the gender, age, education, wealth etc. Result is guaranteed by law, bureaucratic fees much lower then boat ticket, practically no obstacles at all to anybody willing to engage in the shame.
After year or so importer spouse could get divorce, back to circulation again and import next person.
Whole procedure could be nicely organized by business minded private immigration bureau that provide all required forms, advice , streamline whole process for reasonable small fee.
One may agree that importing people this way could be eventually cheaper then trough government funded overseas processing centres. On another hand leave little or no control at all who we want to arrive to this country.
I am not the expert but if there is no clause in specific religion there could be soon whole Pakistani- Afghan Taliban sneaking though this gate wide open.

PS. As you can see the problem I pointed to has nothing to do with personal friendship preferences.
and
If I could please No Red Fingers on any side as that divert discussion from pure conceptual to emotional .

Homosexuals can live together without interference in their lives in many countries. They can live together effectively as married couples in more countries than they cannot. So why would they choose to come to a country where that relationship is formally recognised by a state that they have had nothing to do with before in their lives? Wouldn't it be of more value to them to have their relationship recognised in their own community with their family and friends? Even if the state doesn't recognise their relationship it doesn't really matter as long as they are are not harrassed in that relationship.

Its unlikely Australia will be overrun by homosexuals from all over the world because they can get married here. Even if it did happen it probably wouldn't be that bad. Its not like they can breed and in 50 years time they outnumber the locals.

I find it funny how people who are immigrants or of an ethnic background can often be the most discriminatory to other immigrants or ethnic peoples.

You're an immigrant yourself mate. Why should it matter what sexual preference you have.

YES! Someone please explain this.

As for the original hypothesis it's ...pretty ridiculous.
As pointed out already you need:

A) A refugee, often with family, from a different culture, who are all willing to pay to get gay married. All of them.

B) An Australian who is keen to travel to Afghanistan, Iraq, a refugee camp in Africa to try and talk someone/a family into giving them $10,000 to get gay married

C) Costs of above plus live together for 2 (or is it 3) years, plus all the hoops you have to jump through.

It's ridiculous, almost impossible and not even profitable.

It seems the IELTS test needs improving.

...I've read that 5 times now, and I still don't know what you're saying.

You really think that?

Have you been drinking "tea"?.
I only ask because you seem a little paranoid and irrational.

Isn't a bit worry perspective ?

I am surprised. Thank you kiterboy for translation.
That is exactly what's I mean even if I did express this in writing in unintelligible form.

He's talking about naughty people possibly exploiting a system and using it as a new way of getting (possibly bad) people into the country.

His question has got nothing to do with sexual orientation.

So you think......Muslim terrorist, religious extremists if you will, are going to fake a gay relationship so they can enter Australia under the pretence of a gay marraige so they can commit acts of terror based on their beliefs......

Does that sound as stupid when you read it back as when I typed it...

would be a alternative way for them to empty their sack and make a mess

SP said...
I'm just sitting laughing imagining, two arab terrorist trying to convince Aussie custom and immigration that they are in a loving gay relationship....


Yes sir, me and Mohammed have been together for many years, we fell in love at Jihad training as our hands brushed over each others reaching for the Koran. Then we met again during suicide bomb training and I couldn't keep my eyes off Mohammed butt as he learnt how to strap explosive to himself and I knew it was forever the day we made an IAD together, then as we fixed the iphone timer to it our eyes met over that nail bomb and we just knew we wanted to immigrate to Australia get married and adopt some children....

Once again, this is exactly what I am afraid of regardless how funny it sounds
Immigration officer is not The King, just bureaucrat bonded by existing law.
As you can see on my own example above misrepresentation's on his action could provoke also attack that he is trying to restrict human rights, not to protect the country.

Kiterboy, you seem good with this. Для меня это все китайское.

...sorry Macro, but you have to admit it's pretty damn hard to read.

and Macro, dude, there is no way in hell a Muslim terrorist/fundamentalist is going to pretend to be gay. He'd rather die a thousand times. Honestly.

This is EXACTLY how good poker player could use his cards on the hand !!
"If I am Muslim that claim gay friendship, it is completely obvious that I am defenceless honest low obeying citizen not a terrorist, mister officer..."
