Asylum seekers are victims of selfishness : Comments
By Bruce Haigh, published 6/5/2016Australia is a sick country, primarily because it has become such a selfish and self-centred country. A sense of entitlement pervades, indeed is encouraged and fostered within the ruling class and politicians.

So, what has changed? Do you have a response? We know the answer! Australia is the “least” selfish country on earth.
You say – “They (the government) feel charged with the responsibility for protecting privilege from the incursions of coloured “outsiders”.
Really Bruce – coloured outsiders? - that’s an extremely racist statement.
Have you asked our wonderful pakistans, Indians, Sri-Lankans, Islanders, Fijians, plus other cultures if they feel like “outsiders”?
Have you ever actually attended a cricket match Aust v Pakistan, v India, v Sri-Lanka, v New Zealand, or any other sporting event (I can name heaps) and see the level of enthusiasm other cultures have for their home (birth) country – albeit now citizens of Australia - the level of cheering, singing, chanting, bells, whistles , horns etc sitting beside, amongst, in the middle of us, those (sick, selfish, self-centred) Aussies who sing and chant along with the rest, with both sides having a fun day out. What’s wrong with the above picture?
Or maybe Bruce the above picture of fun and friendship extended by Aussies to all cultures, colours, race and creeds in sport, life, community, work, times of fire or flood or tragedy, etc doesn’t fit in with your “grand agenda” of nonsense?
You say – “Australia is running a gulag, a concentration camp".
Bruce – Really, that statement is outrageous and disrespectful.
