You can believe whatever you want.
Foxy,
Yes, I believe you're doing your usual running away when it gets too inconveniently truthful for you. I noticed how you conveniently failed to remark on those migrants we're actually discussing here & the source of real racism. You need to learn to distinguish between racism & simple dislike come personality clashes..

For Suseonline's benefit, who apparently lives and works among them and judges the whole of Australia by her experience, but is in denial of that fact,

"bogan

A fascinating beast. The majority of the species are hideously repugnant and unintelligent, and yet they manage to breed in ever-increasing numbers and populate an area known as the outer west. It is quite common to find five or six offspring in each family group, often with a different father for each new baby.
Their habitat consists of a weatherboard or brick-veneer dwelling and is characterised by an early-model Holden or Ford in the driveway surrounded by a group of males discussing why the carby is stuffed and the results of last night's footy (a primitive gladiator-like spectator sport enjoyed by most bogans).
The female of the species, while smaller in stature, is far more loud and aggressive than the male. While the males tend to be very friendly and congregate with other males, the females spend most of their time in supermarkets and shopping malls, using a shrill high-pitched call to discipline their children and contact other females.
Males and females rarely interact socially except during breeding season, which is otherwise known as Friday night. During this time, females are allowed to enter the male-dominated area known as "the pub" and display their impressive coloured plumage to a prospective mate.
Herein lies an interesting phenomenon. Males will often fight over a particularly attractive female and she will mate with only one male, while some less attractive females have been known to have several partners simultaneously."

Although I believe that Suseonline is protesting too much. LOL

Dear Individual,

I am not running away - but I care
about facts. I deal with them on a daily basis.
However when I see posts
such as yours so completely devoid of logic and
factual material -
I usually choose not to engage in addressing them because
by their very nature they condemn themselves
completely. I have addressed the Beyond Blue
issues here. I have given a link regarding
migrant experiences in this country.
Your lack of comprehension skills is beyond my
control. But I'm sure you'll find many kindred spirits
more than willing to share your views on this thread
of yours.

I've got better things to do with my time.

Cheers.

Paul Fenech, also for Suseonline,

Shockadelic,

The Peanut Bush Theory as applied to the study of Genealogy/Ancestry is that the best parts are under the ground.

Foxy ""with everyone living in the same way...and sharing the same aspirations."

Who are you quoting?

"indentured labour, two year contract"

Not quite slaves-for-life, eh?

Why not? This enabled *immediate" involvement in the local community/economy.

Those two years of guaranteed work probably *helped* the adjustment/establishment of many people's new lives.

Had they been left to their own devices, they'd have probably ended up homeless beggars (no Centrelink back then).

"They helped to solve an acute labour shortage in the country"

50,00 Australians were killed or wounded in World War II.
We needed some extra hands.

The same proportionate loss today would be 160,000.

We already have 700,000 unemployed.
No more "workers" required, thanks.
