Asylum immigrants - Green Light
- Thread starter Bobby
- Start date
I am afraid what you believe happened after WW11, you have been grossly misinformed and obviously were not even born..
Immigrants from England, Italy and Germany were highly skilled tradesmen and they mixed into our community extremely well....As an apprentice plumber from 1946, the plumbing company I was employed by engaged some 20 or 30 plumbers from those countries and they were excellent workers and mixed in very well.
Many were engaged on the Snowy Mountain scheme and we DID receive good value for our investment.
That is more than I can say for the stupidity of the Green/Labor socialist left wing government for allowing 50,000 Muslim to flood into Australia uninvited......They are now a burden on the tax payer and must stop to pray 5 times a day..
So tell me who would want to employe these people when they would be disrupting work 5 times a day for 10 minutes at a time?...would you employe them if you were in business?

I guess the real difference is, they came here for an opportunity, not a welfare system.
The conditions that prevailed in the early 1960's, is far removed from what is on offer today.
If the accomodation and conditions were the same, we wouldn't have any asylum seekers coming here.lol
Let's not forget the inhumane accomodation at Curtin detention centre, is the very same accomodation our troops were expected to use.
State housing commission homes, in the North West of W.A that are deemed unsuitable for asylum seekers, were rented out to Australians. It's a shame no one gave a $hit about that.

Um you do know what irony is yes?
I just had a feel and yes I'm pretty sure I have been born.
Let me explain a little more: my home state is one of those places which had large numbers of English, Italians, etc after the WW2. The Italians were so happy to have a safe haven and fresh start they got on with it. The English jumped in too, mainly into govt utilities.
The "poms" were given a really hard time for being Poms, with "go home of you don't like it" and a vicious tag of "whinging Poms". Later on the young 1st gens setup gangs of skinheads and terrorised the streets, using sheer numbers to beat up individuals.
Insofar as the history of migration we should remember the Yugolsavs who were brought in at the turn of the century to build our factories, we should remember the expulsion of the Chinese nationals, the slave trade of Kanakas who were also sent packing once machines took over in the cane fields, the Irish dissidents who wanted to wreck our society to spite the English.
And yes I know all to well about the migration, I was trained by those war damaged Dutch, Germans, English, Scots, Russian, French, Italian, Arab, etc blokes who worked together in a true multicultural work environment by the thousands and who would likely slit each other's throats given half a chance, but they didn't because they wanted prosperity, free of old world hate for their kids and wife.

Yes the Nissan huts out Toodyay road, the Pearce air force huts, as you say the Norwest where people still shack up in containers and old caravans. The hostels in Elizabeth South Oz, Laverton in Vic, rickety workers cottages in Qld, the whole fricken place was a continent of hard times until Whitlam decided it was time for a change and turn away from the sheep's back, with no small thanks to Charles Court for opening up the Pilbra to mining, John Tonkin for galvanising WA entrepreneurs into taking risk and nation building.... there were so many lites back then who wanted to progress us into a modern nation instead of an English outpost.

Yes, some of them were given a hard time, but I have friends who were 10 pound poms who definitely did not whinge, but recognised that some of their previous countrymen did and joined the chorus of "go home" to the whingers.

What a lot of rubbish...
Where did you get all that from?
Did you make it up?
I hope you can give me a link to where you stated all you said.
Yes...Poms were always called whinging Poms and still are today...that is nothing new......but to talk about slitting each others throats is just not true.
We were talking about the immigrants after WW11 OK.

OSB operational update for September,
In short, another month with no boats.

And Tisme,
How much of the post WW2 immigration from Europe to Australia was through the activities of illegal maritime people smuggling as we have seen under the former Labor governments of Rudd and Gillard ?

They did come by boat....legally that is.......they had no need to throw their passports overboard though.
Whinging Australian left wings and bums who believe their country owes them a living.

You obviously didn't live in Exmouth in the early 80's, when the only housing was state housing, stump mounted asbestos and tin with no insulation or airconditioning.
Charlie Court told the U.S not to bother putting in housing for the Aussies, he would look after it.
Well everyone was getting pi$$ed off with paying $60/wk back then, to live in a 'hot box' that you couldn't walk on the floor in bare feet.
So a petition was mounted to improve the housing, the result was a major upgrade, they removed the gutters.lol
We never got a mention on lateline, we never had government funded lawyers fighting for our rights, paying rent on third world housing.
Why, because we felt it was our choice to be there and if we didn't like it we should leave.
Now there seems to be a new option, if you come to a place and don't like it, get the ABC, Fairfax and taxpayer funded lawyers to take up your cause and get the taxpayer to fund it all.

I hope the galah takes note – I distinctly recall his confident prediction that Abbot wouldn’t be able to stop the boats!

I was absolutely wrong about stopping the boats and also wrong thinking that a long honoured tradition of federal Australian governments would rule this country working with in the law.
Scott Morrison. Maiden speech to Parliament 14/2/2008:
"From my faith I derive the values of loving-kindness, justice and righteousness, to act with compassion and kindness, acknowledging our common humanity and to consider the welfare of others; to fight for a fair go for everyone to fulfil their human potential and to remove whatever unjust obstacles stand in their way, including diminishing their personal responsibility for their own wellbeing; and to do what is right, to respect the rule of law, the sanctity of human life and the moral integrity of marriage and the family. We must recognise an unchanging and absolute standard of what is good and what is evil."

Yeah, funny how some of the most committed Christians are the biggest hypocrites.
So for what reason have you branded Scott Morrison a hypocrite?

I note critics of this governments successful border protection policies are reduced to criticising the immigration minister for his religion.
That's pretty pathetic, even by their standards.
If we want to measure hypocrisy and the law, the big prize goes to the parties who in government encouraged immigration by illegal people smuggling not only at the great expense of this nation but also at the expense of the more than 1,000 men, women and children who drowned at sea as a consequence.
If we want to blame religion for the outcomes we have seen, it's the religion of high handedness practiced by Labor and the Greens that by far bare the prime responsibility.

Scott Morrison is a committed Christian
the Bible says "suffer the little children to come unto me"
Scott Morrison sends them to Nauru and makes them suffer.
NO NO NO Rumpy, the Green/Labor left wing socialist are the ones who sent kids to Nauru even the last lot that came from India would have been back in India where they came from had the Greens not been so stupid to take out a court order preventing the process.
I believe if you do some homework you will find the youth population on Nauru has been reduced by some 40%.
The Green/Labor coalition were determined to blot the copy book of OSB....they just could not bare success by the Liberal government....They did everything possible to throw a spanner in the works.
Decent of you to admit it. Now how about publicly praising Abbot for his success in this area? I mean, anyone can criticize all the time, but a person with a balanced viewpoint also gives credit where credit is due.
Hell, as much as I disliked and criticized Gillard for her arrogance and stupidity and gross incompetence, I nevertheless gave her my tick of approval on the rare occasion I thought she got something right.
