individual,
I know PALE from her posts, few weeks before when I wrote against Pauline Hanson she wrote 'I just wish [people like you would go home.'
individual, I work more than 40 hours per week and I paid TAX as everyone else. I do not think PALE cares very much for taxpayers,this is an excuse, often she writes against migrants or refugees. You know that what she wrote is not truth
'The Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) has refuted false claims circulating on the internet that refugees settling in Australia receive more in benefit payments than Australian pensioners.'
I understand PALE but I am from the other site of the ...river, I am with migrants and refugges!
We can not return the history back.

Vanilla's on the money again. I hear that, not only do the blackest immigrants get more than $1,000,000.00 a year, but they get an extra half million if they're Muslim as well, plus their own personal mosque in their backyard. Right next to the free halal barbecue.

And if they're black and gay, well they can write their own cheques.

Yep, CJ, you got it in one. In fact, individual, they actually let the refugees ride on the backs of Aussies to get into town, like mules.

Individual - what part of 'the department of immigration has pointed out this is just plain bullsh!t' is the hard part?

Are you that determined to believe the worst?

Individual first thing you got wrong PALE is no bloke.
The spam e mail as I said word for word is a lie.
You disappoint me I truly though we would not find another who believed it.
This country has prospered by its intake of refugees ww2 on .
Restating lies will change nothing the claim is a lie.

Are you that determined to believe the worst?
TRTL & Belly,
Haven't you ever had any dealings with departments ? From personal experience with departmental staff I have no reason not to believe those claims. In fact, I'd be very surprised if they weren't based on fact. Is there any way we can get these claims clarified by placing extracts from the actual immigration policy into a post ?
No-one disputes that migrants contributed to the prosperity of Australia & I'm not criticizing migrants I'm one myself after all. The issue here is about the changing conditions. Those migrants who helped Australians, who are also migrants, build this country did not receive the generous benefits & had to work damned hard.
I have no problem with new migrants being given the opportunity to work their way up but I do object to up-front preferential treatment given to people who have yet to proof their commitment.

HAHAHA you're a cracker, individual- no doubt about that!
