Interesting the poor girl stabbed to death in Melbourne last night was caught up in fights between African groups/ Oh sorry Foxy and Waleed don't see a problem.

In PC terminology, Waleed would be a 'racial civil-unrest enabler'.

It tends to be the cheaper suburbs and those near the major universities that have the greatest impact from immigration. It's interesting to see reverse gentrification in these suburbs as the immigrants push the locals out. The overfilled rubbish bins, the crows, the rubbish blowing in the breeze, the parking, the noise at all hours, the dented cars all down the street, the chicken test driving, the disrespect for other people, the lying, the continuous wilfull damage to property. I even see it on TV where one local person just wants to live in peace and the immigrants believe that because the person doesn't want to interact with them they are racist and they have "a right" to annoy them. Standard animal dominance posturing. Eventually the white people move out before they end up in gaol- the Real Estate agents and owners can't do much- diversity laws, split ownership of property over different ethnic groups- creates a mess. I'm not sure that the owners of these properties will be able to get a good price when they sell or good tenants. The ethnic owners will be able to buy up the properties cheap and build high density apartments. If we are not the dominant ones Australia doesn't have much hope. Other cultures do not necessarily care about playing "fair". I guess it creates some interesting effects in the property market.

Foxy,

I am not predicting the outcome of the elections, just pointing out that the African gang violence is becoming an issue that is a negative for Labor that is not going to disappear with a few platitudes from that weasel Andrews.

With headlines like these appearing nearly every week, it does not matter how confident people like SR are to go out, there are still millions of others that while going out will be just that little bit more careful.

Foxy,

"I can only go by what's in our local newspapers,
in the mainstream media, and from our own experiences.
My husband go out regularly on a week-end. We've
not encountered any problems - either in the city
centre, or elsewhere"

No, you can do as I suggested, go to one of the affected areas, alone, after dark, and then give us your impressions.

Steele,

I don't know Melbourne well, so just read the papers and then venture into one of the alleged trouble spots and let us know the truth of the matter.

Steele Redux said;
I live in country Victoria and our postcode has dropped 40% in residential burglary

Probably not surprising because police in country areas would quickly
get to know who were the majority offenders and would either by arrest
or warning them would stop the offending or move the offending to
another police district.
