We are full. Why are we still bringing them in?By: Mark | Thursday , 22 Oct '09 8:28:21 AM Reply | Forward What is the go with the recentw ave of "head wobblers" coming to this country in their droves? I work for a recruitment company and get inundated with new entrants seeking employment. Suffice to say, they don't get a look in (I just delete their resume's without so much as a look in). Further, what about middle easterners? We should just simply turn the tap off. they come here, they don't adjust to our way of life, they are arrogant. Go home the lot of you I say.
MrBy: gavin | Wednesday , 8 Jul '09 19:01:39 PM Reply | Forward There are too many immigrants in Australia. it is a matter of water availability, stress of the infrastructure.I think it's about time other nations, or their journalists showed better manners and recognizing our right to run our country as we pleaseI find it amazing that Indian Journalists talk about rasism in Australia. Australia has no caste system
Current Australian scenarioBy: Raja | Tuesday , 16 Jun '09 1:22:39 AM Reply | Forward Many Indians in Aus. (v fair sincere, more critical of India) are realizing social dymanics/bias Australia "now it is Indians' turn long a preferred immigrant group, vs local inhabitants indegenous Aboriginals, other migrants, incl: Europe, Jewish (they have lobbied quietly to maketheir suburbs more safe and liveable, many Indian students live there), Italians, Greeks, Germans, Croatians and everyone. Australia has many economic and Govt policy problems. The current Govt has not done enough to compensate Mr Howard Govt who had slashed education,medicine budgets, during 11 years tenure. Earlier Govt,some excellent sincre work of Imm Minister, Ms Amanda Vanstone wrt liberalizing off-shoreexperts in short supply, via 457 visa to allow more intakes of skilled migrants and students- enormous economic assets. As a former SE Asian great leader said of Australia "Australia wants your money but not you". Lots of ignorance in otherwise v tolerant peaceful friendly kind population

We are full!!By: DeeDee | Friday , 12 Jun '09 1:44:05 AM Reply | Forward The thing to do is to stop coming to India cajoling/coaxing to send our children to fill up your empty colleges.To be more selective and discriminating about who you take in.To choose merit over money.To arrange for proper counselling which would help our people to integrate.
Indians are very peace ful peopleBy: sam chopra | Thursday , 11 Jun '09 23:15:15 PM Reply | Forward Replying to sarma that Indian peoples are very peace ful people,very rarely i saw the aggresion in them.They like to stay them selves,not getting involved in the local activities.If you compare to wild white local kids,they are loud,use filthy language,play laud music in their cars,swear alot almost after every word.I would not call Indian students voilent or aggrasive.

A time for reflection and sensitizationBy: DeeDee | Thursday , 11 Jun '09 15:01:57 PM Reply | Forward Racial intolerance be it in Australia,canada,US or UK is not new. In India too we find strains of prejudice exist.Australia has a long history of violence.First it was the aborigines,next the Chinese.It has tried to make a race -homogeniized society by restricting the entry of non-Caucasian groups.Such laws have been reversed .Just as discrimination by caste is illegal in India,but prejudice is still embedded .Inspite of the long state of denial these countries have had a history of violence which wiped out the original sons and daughters of the soil.Indians see -saw between the aloof model minority .Sometimes in the process of assimilation they stick out like sore thumbs...simply because they look different,they talk different,they eat different .Look how assimilated the white-collared Indian is in these countries.He is a model citizen who works in silence,follows all the rules in the book ,pays taxes and maintains a dignified silence.He has "assimilated."
indians must respect australina culture and their life styleBy: sarma | Thursday , 11 Jun '09 10:46:14 AM Reply | Forward yes, indians must adjust to the lifestyles of australians as they are in a australian soil, i fully agree.we must not disturb the peace prevailing in australia before our arrival. and by the way weather australians are real australians or criminals dumpped in australia is not a matter of concern to india. it is we indians opted to go and study there because our govt is incompetent in meeting the demands of the intelligent immigrant indians. love and hate is a human nature.only one sad part about the incidents in australia is beating to kill which is not a human behaviour. australian can very well protest to their govt to stop immigrants through talk and letters to ministry concerned. no indian will go to australia if they are not fulfilling the tough criteria. this is a civilised world or i hope so !? i dont have complains about australians, but please dont beat , kill indians through hate as this will bring bitterness in the nouble minds.
INDIANS ABROADBy: krishnan | Thursday , 11 Jun '09 9:19:15 AM Reply | Forward Why Indians alone are being targetted when so many other nationalities are living alongside,We need to study the backround behind the subject, we Indians are the people cultured by nonviolance and we are strong in mental aptitude,Why we cannot provide a world class education as it is being called in rest of the western cultured people why our national leaders keep mum.
