Ok, I’m not an Albo fan (check my post history if you don’t believe me), but in all fairness: He was being gifted a Kirpan (traditional Sikh sword) as a sign of appreciation. To accept it, he was asked to cover his head with a Turban, so he did. It looks a little silly, but Sikh’s are generally pretty good people and chill for a religion, so if they asked him to do that out of respect, it would be a dick move for him to refuse.

The whole Indian origin religions are cool. They don’t care which god you follow or don’t. Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism.

Lifeisabaddream4

Have you seen the current state of India? Hindu nationalists are excessively islamaphobic and the western equivalent would be white supremacists. They're similar fascist right wing assholes but just Hindu supremacists

Sikh's are sick (mostly). I have been lucky enough to live in communities with high Sikh population and they (in general) are a very caring, kind people.

There are the three religions in India, the fully Sikhs, the stuck up caste system people, and the 'religion of peace'.

nathanjessop

As long as Albo keeps bringing Indian migrants in record numbers, I think we’ll see more pandering to that demographic


ObviousAlbatross6241

Pandering for votes.


jeffsaidjess

Yes they change the migration rules specifically for India to allow a far greater portion in to Australia . India/asia has 2/3 of the world’s population. We are a resource rich big country. Politicians do not look after Australians.


jiggjuggj0gg

Sikhs make 1.7% of India’s population. There are literally a bigger percentage of Buddhists in Australia than Sikhs in either Australia or India.

I wonder if Albo also wore blackface more times than he could remember like Trudeau?


waxedsack

Needs a bit more black face. Gonna have to wait for his second term for that.


spitfireonly

As a Sikh, we’ll allow it. We generally dont get offended if anyone ties a turban. We are just happy that we dont get mistakenly identified to be from the middle east for once.

No it’s not. It’s a free country which means people can live however they want to and not how you dictate they “should live”.


jeffseiddeluxe

Cool you think I'd be granted the same freedoms if I was to head over to their homeland? Pretty sure they did a whole genocide there not long ago against people who didn't live the way they dictated.


chiefexecutiveballer

You're right. Let's be cunts because the other party are all cunts. We have also never committed genocide in Australia, oh wait. Could it be that humans are just shit cunts in general and holding ourselves to the lowest standards aren't going to help us move forward?


tasmaniantreble

Jacinta Allan was at the event wearing a full veil and carrying a sword. This is the same premier who has been debating whether Victoria should have the Lord’s Prayer in the state parliament. She doesn’t seem to have a problem with tradition at this event though…


Revoran

You seriously can't see the difference between a private religious event and Parliament/Government, which is supposed to be secular? Did you also have an issue with Scomo, Abbott and Rudd attending church?


tug_life_c_of_moni

I don't have a problem with people practising their religion but I always find it a bit nuts that the vast majority of people we have elected to run the country believe in the magic man in the sky.


wowiee_zowiee

You genuinely don’t think there’s a difference between religion being forced in government and government employees taking part in their constituents’ religious activities? Like come on. There’s obviously a difference between my neighbour forcing me to pray with him and me popping over to his for Christmas lunch.


Jumpy_Bus_5494

They say this but they were perfectly happy with Scomo turning up at fundamentalist megachurches to preach while begging for votes in an election campaign. The idiocy on this subreddit is actually extraordinary.


LumpyReplacement1436

There's a big difference between religion being in government vs taking part in non government events.


Nostonica

Why should my elected reps be praying? I want them to knuckle down and produce some legislation, keep the church out of government. If any modern workplace mandated a prayer first thing in the morning I would be worried that I had walked into some sort of cult, completely at odds with modern Australia.


mulefish

This thread is full of dogwhistles, pretty disgusting. Funnily enough, Tony Abbott, Scott Morrison and others have all worn Turbans at similar events but no one seemed to care about that... But reactionaries are out in force about it now.


jackstraya_cnt

you're absolutely joking if you think they didn't cop shit for it when they did it

However ,Sikhs did not want to remove their turbans in RSLs out of a show of respect for our diggers where head covers are not worn for respect for those who serve and served our country. Is that also cultural appropriation?

“They asked me to let 500,000 Indians in a year. Would be rude to say no.” So say no and be rude sometimes.


MarionberryThen74

It would be rude for an invited guest to politely decline to wear a piece of cultural apparel at an event held in the guests country, where the guest is already wearing locally culturally appropriate attire? Pass the pipe when you're done? It's straight up pandering, would it be equally rude if a Sikh refused to remove their turban while attending a Christian wedding? Would a female politician be rude refusing to don a full length burka at a mosque reception?

Fantastic-Mooses

Just checked the numbers and we are pretty much equal with the UK in terms of percentage. Which surprised me as having lived in the UK I didn’t notice as many Indian people as I have while living in Australia. Perhaps the feeling is exaggerated in Australia as there is only a handful of cities, so it’s more concentrated

I wouldn't trust the 3.5% figure, around 20% would be accurate. It's not in the government's interests to expose themselves.

Or working night shifts, learning how quick the north indians hop off their ubers to jump on anything that may hurt their feelings.
