@ozzie: I can understand your comment starting "as a general rule ..." and 'a point' about *some* (or even "a lot from certain institutes") requiring a lot of supervision.

But, you then use blanket terms - "" these doctors are simply trying as best they can to gain residency in a rich western country where they can line their pockets and live a rich western lifestyle"

""there are hundreds of doctors now working in australia that were given free, yes free Medical degrees paid for by Australian taxpayers and in addition free accommodation and living expenses paid for by Australian taxpayers. ... after completing their medical degrees suddenly decide to apply for Australian residency, with total disregard for the hundreds of thousands spent on them by Australian taxpayers.""

So what? ... Oh ... " The final result is we take people from an overseas, pay their full expenses tuition and living expenses to become an Asutralian doctor whilst some Australian taxpayers son or daughter misses out."

And then this says a lot ... "I look forward to Leigh's educated and truthful comments on such topics"

Leigh has not posted on this thread and I have deleted the abusive first post from jjplug as well as another following-on from it. Trying to provoke comments by Leigh and criticising him in advance for what he hasn't said is not permissible.

But habitually making racist comments is fine?

We don't have discussions about particular moderation decisions on the site. All that does is extend the original problem as it is impossible to discuss without referring to material which has been removed.

People are entitled to make comments in this forum which might be regarded as racist by some. That does not make them racist or illegal, and it does not give anyone licence to start abusing commenters, either specifically, or in general for something they may, or may not, have said.

So, can we move on?

Thankyou, Graham. It is a bit rough when people make remarks about me before I've even switched on my PC, let alone posted anything.

This is the sort of thing that has lead me to scan posts upwards in order to see the names of posters first. [Deleted].
