    So are migrants making the country a worse place to be for Australians?

    The article you posted is concerning New zealand, not Australia. Fail.

    I`m not telling any stories this time, but the OP`s point still stands, burying your head in the sand will only get you a kick up the arse.

    The only "point" the OP has is the one on top of his head

    The OP does have a point, it`s just that you are unable to grasp it.

    Don't even want to touch anything as racist as that - let alone grasp it!

    right. The OP thinks Auckland is in mainland Australia, was that the point you are agreeing with?

    Yes, evaluating information that, if true, suggests a certain group consistently underachieves is racist. I.e. the truth can be considered racist.

    Now where is the eye roll emoticon?

    That is correct and I would suggest that the "research" was flawed and did not take into account full socio-economic factors

    This sounds suspiciously like, "massage & adjust the figures until they suit your agenda".

    No immigrants should be getting public housing in Australia.
    Many from NZ are...forming Pacific Islander enclaves, resulting in the associated drama with public housing estates and such 'immigrant ethnic enclaves'.

    Man bashed, robbed and stabbed when his car ran out of petrol in Parramatta

    The 30-year-old driver was bashed, stabbed and robbed by more than a dozen people in what police called a "shocking" and "appalling" attack.

    The man was driving home from work with two friends when his car ran out of petrol on Hassall St, Harris Park, a stone's throw from the Parramatta CBD, about 1am. The trio decided to walk the several blocks to James Ruse Drive to an open service station.

    When they returned to the car two thugs threatened the trio. While his two friends ran off, the victim decided to stand up to his attackers.


    A group of 15 men then walked out of nearby Robin Thomas Reserve.

    In a disheartening twist they were not there to help the victim, merely to kick a man when he was down.

    And that's exactly what they did - bashing and robbing the man as he lay on the footpath, blood soaking into his white shirt.

    Police said the man who stabbed the victim was described as 21 years old, 180cm tall with a medium build and medium-length dark hair.

    The group who joined in were described as being of Pacific Islander appearance and aged between 16 and 25.

    "Shocking" attack?
    It doesn't shock me that this happened.

    Go back and look at the title of this forum section. It says:
    There is no other section for New Zealand. I posted this thread in the right place.

    I suggest you go back and re-read your original post

    i have just had my assessment of the mentality and IQ of those who post inflammatory racist crap confirmed
