Foxy part two
If foxy you speak for productivity then I say you that every few years companies sent the lazy, tired, irrisponsible employees home, I am there with the most years, that means I passed many times these waves. The fabrick where I am working changed three times owners, the first one redudanced many employees before dicide to sell his business, the second owner at the very begin send home the most of the employees, the second owner before decide to sell his company redudanced many employees, the third own when bought the fabric send home many employees and now of cause the international crisis many employees lost their jobe, I am the ONLY one who continue past all these waves of redudancy, that means that I a hard working productive, responsible, mature employee.
Let's see the skills, skilled employee and how they improved their skills. I am there more than 16 years, in this time many, many unskilled workers become skilled. If the company decide to train you with a qulified trainer then you have sertified skills, if not then you will die unskilled. It is the companies who create skilled or not employees. I wrote for hard work and productivity let's write some about maturity, exeriences and IQ. I was simultaneously sole parent , two of my children finished university with awards etc. that I sold my property 3 units to go to my children and support them althought I knew that the banks will not borow me money of cause my age and income indicate a person with high sensitivity and responsibility, I had experiences from so many organizations in four countries, in various levels, I studied jurnalistand MY IQ IS 130, about the TOP 3% in Australia, my "compatitors" was simple persons

Apologies runner, I completely misinterpreted your argument. :)

Dear Antonios,

I can see that any further discussions with you
are not going to achieve anything constructive.
For either of us.

Take care.

Dear Banjo,

The following website may be of interest to you:

"Australia'a Dangerous Fantasy." by Eva Sallis.

It's on the Cronulla riots and racism in general.

Cheers.

According to tonight's ABC PM, the international student industry is worth about $15 billion a year to the Australian economy.

And this from the Opposition Organ yesterday:

<< Attacks on Indian students in Australia are threatening the billion-dollar overseas education sector and have heightened security fears for Australian diplomats in India, where angry protests have been sparked by media coverage of the issue. >>

http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,25608099-2703,00.html

However, it seems that some people around here are far more interested in trying to lay the responsibility for these attacks on ethnic minorities, rather than on a society that apparently tolerates regular violent robberies and attacks on foreign students.

Personally, I wouldn't blame Indians or others who decide to take their money elsewhere, rather than live and study in a social and cultural environment where they feel unsafe, and in many cases unwelcome. Given that the minerals boom is over and that we hardly manufacture anything for export, I guess Australia will have to find an alternative source of export income to education if this current PR disaster is allowed to continue much longer.

For a change the SMH seems to be on to something

This seems to vindicate those who are claiming the attackers are predominantly middle eastern. Not what the pc deniers want to read or believe.
