Those lazy migrant bastards do, they never bloody work!
But in spite of what the papers say, there's work for those who want to"
That lazy migrant Turk queing up to pick up his dole, that couldn't have been you could it?
Are you not treading on thin ice by trading in racist stereotypes when you yourself are a member of a minority in Australia?
Having been to Australia many moons ago, and appreciating what a great country it is, I am starting to be a little concerned for my Aussie friends.
Tim, I am concerned because statements such as the above may encourage the Turkish Community in Australia retreating into enclaves and demanding TAKSIM over a very large part of Australian Territory.
Be extra vigilant my Aussie friends.
Thats a funny comment Sabre, considering the greeks have already declared Enosis and claimd the city of Melbourne (after all it is the second largest greek city outside of Athens i have been told by many many greeks many many times). perhaps we turks should take your lead????
Listen here you Racist Bigot.
It is the Australians that say that Melbourne is the third largest Greek city in the world, and it is said as a tongue in cheek comment, as Australians are fully aware of the enormous contributions made by the Greek Community. Around 400,000 Greeks live in the city and are vibrant net contributors to all facets of Melbournian life. The Greek Melbournians intermingle very well with all Australians and do not retreat to their own ghetto suburbs. Turks however only find comfort by settling in their own ghetto suburbs (enclaves) such as Oakleigh. Sound fucking familiar? They make no effort in blending in and accepting their new country. We see it in Melbourne, and we see it in Germany. This is how you small minded pee brains operate.
