It's impressive to see Lauren Southern discussing issues with people apparently ten years or more her senior.

What's more impressive is their replies to her
questions.

Foxy,

"Some Australians still feel most comfortable with a
singular national identity and an assimilationist policy.
Even though more than 42 per cent of people were born
outside Australia or have a parent born outside Australia
and many speak a language other than English at home"

We often speak Hindi so that I can keep up to speed and when my older children visit I practice my Irish with them, they're much more fluent speakers than I am, but I can beat them at reading as I've studied early Irish, which like Early English to modern is almost a different language.

Dear o sung wu,

Just to be clear, I was addressing this comment from you;

“What you've inferred in your last Post, concerning what a good Job the Andrew's Government is doing about crime in Victoria; is diametrically opposite to what an Inspector mate I know down there says? The African Gangs have become endemic to a point where the coppers are beside themselves, as to what should be done, especially now there's a new, softly softy approach to community policing, is in train?”

Which in turn had been in response to Foxy saying;

“Daniel Andrews is doing an excellent job in
Victoria - building is going on around us and
the state is progressing greatly. The crime
rate has dropped - and the crime that does exist
over 70 per cent is done by locals (not Africans).”

Your inspector mate was speaking about the issue of Sudanese crime which is an area of concern though it certainly seems to be overblown by out-of-staters for whatever reason. I feel you, without justification have conflated that to the regular crime figures. Both Foxy and I live in Victoria, we are seeing the results of a concerted focus on crime and we are giving credit where it is due. In my community there has been a dramatic improvement and I will continue to congratulate both the government and the police for their efforts.

So we are not saying anything that is “diametrically opposite to what an Inspector mate I know down there says” at all and with due respect, in this instance we possibly do know more about it that yourself.

Just to finish we have Sudanese kids at our club and they are great. The local fastfood outlet near where I am working at the moment has about a fifth of their staff being Sudanese. I think here in Victoria we interact with those of the Sudanese community almost every day so they aren't the threatening unknown that you Northeners think they are.

funny how regressives ignore mass child abuse in Indigeneous communities, out of control crime by Sudanese crime and yet are as loud a possible about the gw fallacy. Yep they love fake news, fake science, fake courses, fake compassion and yet remain in denial about reality. Anything that does not fit their failed and false narratives and in fact contradicts them is denied. Foxy along with the abc prove this on most topics.
