Thank you for your indulgence.

I just happen to think the whole thing is an absurdity. We all live our different lives here in Australia. Some of us express ourselves in the arts - opera, ballet, photography, painting - others in sports; some in pub life, others in night clubs. Some in work, others in our kids and family. Some of us struggle living on the streets; others slum it in Vaucluse and Toorak. Some go to the trots, others to the beach. Some chase birds; others chase blokes.

In short, the claim that there's a quintessential Aussie is a myth. So to test people to see if they comprehend what it is to be Australian ludicrous.

Here`s the real deal- EG
If your an IT student you are promised PR In Australia 'before you leave your country.

Once your In Australia and 'before you finish uni or the school you are attending someone visits you and shows you how to fill out papers for the dole.

After leaving Uni you can apply for PR. In the case of my friend from India he had it within six weeks of leaving.

This is an exciting time for friends and family also. Often a PR party will be a bigger event than that years birthday.

I gave my friend a PR party-. I was amazed by the difference between the younger ones.) Not that they were kids)

They were extremely polite while listening to a elderly lady playing music. ( I would suggest far more than our youth would be)

Of course what would a PR party be without a medi care card.
It was passed around and around and there were many pictures of him holding it.

That medi care card ended up being used by at least a dozen of them for one thing or another.

While I understand it must be very exciting to get free health care we must put a photo on them the same as a licence.



Remember the ambulance driver lady who was punched in the stomake when Dad walked in because she wanted to take a very ill child to hospital.

She said just prior to that the mother was getting flustered because she was going through her 15! medi care cards( All in similar spelling )looking for the right one.


bTW any sport is illegal and offensive to some cultures.
I think thats why Rudd took old Brad out after it was requested.

After all we wouldn`t want to offend some of our biggest political party contributors would we.

Just what we need - an off-topic xenophobic rant from the frootloops at PALE&IF.

I repeat, the discussion is about citizenship rather than permanent residency. In which case PALE&IF's dubious claims are not only offensive but irrelevant, as they so often are.

Stick to the live exports, PALE&IF - at least you seem to have some actual knowledge about that issue.

I don't think we need to be too pedantic about English skills, for example I could go to France and make myself understood, although my written skills would be rather deficient. And that is the case for many migrants, in 12 months or so the majority are doing very well.

Part of my public service work was interviewing non-English speaking people and you would be amazed how much I could explain and vice versa without the use of an interpreter. That's why I wanted people to read the Petro Georgiou speech because it really sums up just what we can reasonably expect from people wanting to live in Australia.

"Lastly, Badman? Wasn't that the name of the Englishman who stole Port Philip Bay from the Kooris?"

"PS: Batman didn't con the Khouris. It was their Lebanese mates. Always out to make a quid"

Nah, you're both wrong it was Batman's side kick Robin... Hood or something, stood on the beach at Port Phillip Bay, fired an arrow and claimed all the land it flew over, he was very lucky that there were no cliffs.
