Classic innuendo! "And, is not Auburn now an 'ethnic' neighbourhood?" yep, lots of Turks live in Auburn, as it was 20 years ago. Old 'ethnic' neighborhood, fairly harmless statement. lets move on "Thus, that former residence is likely to have been 'renovated', and subsequently occupied, by a none-too-well-off immigrant (or two)? Its been 'renovated' now this getting a little suspect, immigrant (or two) or three or four a whole bloody tribe! What's coming up next, begs the question? "Tends perhaps to put a new light on assimilation 'potentials'?" Casing a wee bit of doubt there about this infestation but the obligatory qualifier "Not that I am criticizing, just commenting." After all I'm just being reasonable. A little harmless inquiry "I wonder what ethnicity? Just out of interest" as I said there are not Eskimo's mostly Turks. well Turks that must set the alarm bells ringing. Time for the cruncher!
"Not possibly some out of character development perhaps, per ill-gotten gains from new 'enterprise', like drug dealing or people smuggling, I wonder? Maybe I am of little faith? Or, perhaps inappropriately reluctant to give credit where due?"
Well, well, well what do we have now, Its evidence of the criminal activity of evil ethnics.
Saltpetre, could you please post up a picture of your house, preferably painted purple, so I can immediately determine if you are a drug lord or not,
A Turk I know who lives in Cumberland Road Auburn, works 6 days a week in the construction industry. Bought an old rundown place years ago, since knocked it down and put up a 2 story job. I would say a great example of an ethnic making good in his adopted country. I forgot to mention the blokes a Muslim. How do I know him, I worked with him, we brought a ute off him and I've been to his house.
Call in to the Auburn RSL now and then great buffet, $3.50 schooners, but then again might be best to keep out of Auburn, full of evil ethnics, never know what they might do to you.

Hasn't been a shooting in Auburn for a while, last really newsworthy one was when the C of E Hall got peppered.

<<Auburn ...>>

Talking through your hat again Paul ...or least ways just repeating what they fed you in Greenie Sunday school!

I used to live in Auburn, not far from the places you name dropped --and it ain't anywhere near as rosy as you fantasize-- see here:

"A RIOT by Muslim youths in Auburn last week was organised via Facebook, police believe.The troublemakers used the social networking site to flash up inflammatory references to police and rally their friends for a confrontation.One update identified police as 'non-believers' who were raiding a "brother's home". More than 150 people gathered in Cumberland Rd, Auburn, on Tuesday night, forcing police to call in 100 officers, the riot squad and a helicopter."

And the above is NOT a once-off isolated incident!

Dear SPQR,

SteeleRedux appears to have you summed up very nicely.

How about your Googling the "Auburn City Council's
Crime Prevention Plan 2013 - 2016."

It just might give you a clearer perspective on the problems
in the area.

No Dear I don't have to --I lived there remember!
