Antonios that was amazing stuff and a fascinating read. How can you say “nothing important’, it was all important!

You did all these things with your time as a Greek and a migrant to Cyprus. You dealt with what sounds like complicated issues while in Cyprus and went to court to improve things for workers while supporting your countrymen and won, the government tried to get rid of you and you stood your ground and again it was a victory for you and the people you defend.

Why has the struggle become so difficult for you here in Australia?

Why have you remained still battling to improve conditions after all this time here?

Have there been any wins for the working migrants in your industry?

Dear Jewely,

I thought that I'd finished with this thread
but here I am again.

This discussion is getting de-railed from
the topic, "Are Aussies prejudiced..."

I suggest that Antonios should open up his
own thread to discuss issues that he's
interested in, like the one he started on
Discrimination in the US - recently.

Continuously interjecting with irrelevant comments
on worker's rights doesn't advance the discussion
of this thread.

Yep of course you are right Foxy. Apologies for going off track, I am starting to think it's a medical condition of mine.

Pssstt..Antonios, I think they have all gone now...

SSShhhhh....tell me why after all you have done you have not seen bigger changes within the working conditions for migrants in Australia?

Is it because Aussies are narrow minded, prejudiced and intolerant?

Just type quietly and they wont see us.

foxy<<..Dear Jewely,

I thought that I'd finished with this thread>>

i thought so too
but half the other thread seems to be stilll going
sort of like to see how the other bit ends

it too began here..[so cant see why it too cant..end here]

its not as if it will add too many extra pages
i never seems this bossy side of you foxey

to respond to topic, i found aussies to be a lable[many are open minded,..many are close minded, its too general a topic to be specific,

and to be more specific it would need to specify open-minded about what...some of the most closeminded seem to be open minded when it comes to football players banking each others sperm bank..

other 'aussies'...lol..[certainly not..yet other aussies feel intolerant of others others having a discussion..off topic..[or so it seems]..we aussies are such a vairiable race...lol...but then what race isnt...every race i ever seem has all sorts...but we as mates could give a bit of leeway[especially if we all thought the topic finished,

that we agree with each others right to disagree]be they open minded or close minded [be they racist or tolerant..[or in tollerant we tollerate them all..[or not even there we can agree that we dont agree

ok there im finnished now too..[oh...lol..we didnt finish at the same time...was it good for you guys as well...hey where everybody go?

who's going to clean up the mess?
and you late comemer's you dont know what you missed
