ASymeonakis,
Firstly for the life of me I dont know where you get= I wonder what OLO readers make of this - to pale agrees or whatever.

All of the posters here bar one fully know that pale are fighting to get Migrants IN THE country.

Around one hundred and eighty visas required thank you very much.

However they are some migrants that atre nothing but trouble makers and I have found you Tony to be such a person.

Never ever have you said one thing good about Australia or this country that has been so good to you.

Migrants have been part of my life when I was so proud of my parents for talk to the so called wogs and each weekend we vited the migrant hostel.
They never complained and they wre beautiful people.

That aside I did take onboard some research John Laws did where he dedicated at least a half an hour of his show before he retired.

Tony you clearly stated the ASTIC money was for us. I asked you who was us? You refused to reply.

There was a group that wanted there own political party and that were very upset when the ATIC funds were frozen

I think its just a case with you that when you said -We will vote you out and the main stream Aussies you gave away your cover.

I am privy with further information as to certain funds that were in need of a closer eye.

It goes simply without saying it was a 'pleasure' to be of assistance.

Come by all means and take up position with our organisation.

We want another 150 thousand. That is what we work for. So dont tell me we dont want migrants. Just last week we took on the Minister of imagration for that very reason.

BUT we dont want people like you who make it clear you hate us.

Very simple really- We want nice migrants wanting to become Aussies and love this country as most do.

These people have never worked, or paid taxes so what right have they to bludge off the taxpayers.For refugees to receive more than Aussie pensioners who have paid their dues is obscene,no wonder so many head for our shores.To add insult to injury they call which ever country they haled from as home,with no intention to speak,read or write Australian.Yet the government are also bowing down to large companies & allowing more unskilled people in, when we can't sustain the one's already here,they are just compiling the already existing problems.They have lost the plot,the only way Aussies get a fair go is to register as refugee's.We can't go to their countries & be housed,fed and paid.

Vanilla, TRTL, Anthony etc.,

So. What was your reaction to the preceding post? Did it make you want to weep, laugh hysterically or just say "Wot the...."?

PS Vanilla - you asked on another thread about my reactions to the China/Lhasa thing? I've written an article. Will let you know when it'll be published. Have also started blogging about China and life here. If you're at all interested I can happily give you the URLs.

individual please remember you too could be wrong, evidence has been put in front of you that you are , you do not want to consider it.
Romany that post? it reminds me of bigotry and refusal to understand we are all human.
Another post hides behind the view if you disagree with the poster you hate them!
The thread started with the exact words from an e mail many of us deleted as soon as we got it.
It was racist in its intent and played on fears most have about some minority's from within some migrant groups.
If we took the time we could find they very same concerns within white Australian community's.
I welcome refugees all of them and know most have lived in fear and poverty for too long.
In time no less than post ww2 refugees they will repay this country over and over.

individual please remember you too could be wrong, evidence has been put in front of you that you are , you do not want to consider it.
Belly,
I openly admit that I could be wrong and, if I am, I will state so but, so far, no-one as yet has provided any fact-based evidence to my statements. there are disagreements yes, but no statements to actually prove me wrong, merely some opposing opinions. i have asked quite a few times for factual evidence on OLO but usually no-one replies. I only get critcism. As to this debate the fact that some people believe that refugee migrants get a better deal than citizen who worked all their live I have yet to see evidence that this is not the case but there's plenty of opinions & attacks on those trying to get enlightened on the subject & propose a solution. Criticism alone does not offer a solution, constructive criticism does, or is that yet another fallacy ? I'm not actually interested in being "proven" right or wrong. I mean what actually is right or wrong ? my interest is to find a solution to the imbalance in so many aspects of our society.

Individual, I don't suppose you've heard of a wonderful free Internet site called Google? If you go to that site and type in the search string 'refugee benefits australia', Google will return links to many websites with information that refutes both your credulous bigotry and that of PALE&IF and the [deleted by moderator] Anng.

In particular, this one seems quite authoritative:

<< DIAC refutes internet claims on refugee payments
Media Release - 7 September 2007

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.

'The figures quoted in the email bear no resemblance to income-support payments to pensioners, or to payments to refugees settling in Australia,' DIAC spokesman Sandi Logan said today.

'The text and figures in the email appear to have originated in Canadian emails, websites and internet chatrooms. We suspect that the email circulating here has been cut and pasted from these sources.

'In Australia, refugees granted permanent visas may gain access to benefits on the same basis and at the same rates as other Australian permanent residents. >>

I'll await your promised retraction, but in the meantime perhaps you'd like to reflect upon why it is that you and others are so eager to believe hateful spam e-mails like the one on which PALE&IF's execrable original post was based.
