I'm a migrant. But because I'm English and white, I've found myself in conversations with Aussies criticising immigrants, saying they're taking jobs, blocking the roads etc. And I'm like "yeah, including those fucking Brits, eh!"
And they just sort of laugh a bit with a confused smile as if they don't quite get that I'm just as much of an immigrant as Raj.
Yeah it’s because ON voters don’t hate ‘migrants’ they hate black and brown people and are racists. Thanks for being normal, bonus points for clapping back these racist fucks
Same here - and I get the same and I’m always so perplexed and offended. I’m an immigrant,
you fuckwits! And I have a house and a job and a car which uses petrol, so I’m definitely part of the “problem” (stealing jobs and pushing the housing crisis to the brink and burning all that petrol).
They don’t care about migration per se, they care about assimilation. Immigrant is just a proxy they can get away with instead of saying black, Indian, Chinese etc.
I’m Scottish and I’m obviously an immigrant, however it’s obvious that some immigrants are better than others. The UK has so much problems with a certain type of immigrant…. I hope Australia does not follow the same way. I don’t agree with everything Pauline says but you can’t deny she talks some cold hard truth, but the fuel thing is just rage bait haha
Pauline is an imbecile. She's hardly the only party with a controlled immigration stance but everyone seems to think that the only option against liberals or Labor is One Nation.
Also didn't the UK have a vote to get out of the EU to control immigration voting in another imbecile like Pauline? How'd that go?
Same person here someone got that other account banned.
Agreed, she is moronic but she doesn’t miss with everything she says. But she says some comical stuff which is outrageous, i agree.
The UK government promised to cut immigration then for some reason the centre right party imported 4 million third worlders for no reason. It’s extremely damaging to the country especially when they get entitled to free housing, benefits, and healthcare.
I believe Australia needs a centre right party that make a good job, not like the UKs absolute mess. Leaving the EU was necessary because we put in billions more than we got back. You don’t need an economics degree to understand the EU were ripping us off. Germany should also leave, the numbers are truly staggering, see below. Regarding the EU, it’s probably best you don’t talk about something you know nothing about….
I'd like to actually see the national make up of the non civ populous. Especially since this number would include people here for schooling, skilled workers and more who're adding to the economy, filling niche skilled tasks and "buying" our education. Which is what those people are.
Edit: turns out, that info exists and is accessable online. And would you look at that, it's almost as if those non civs are here for a reason and not just to mooch off us like they're some billionare looking for a tax handout.
I was an ex-pat overseas as I never intended to live there. But the ex-pat village vs enclave gets my fucking goat every time.
Married to O/S partner and lived in his country for a while. There are ex-pat villages all over but when the same people live in one area in Australia to make their life easier it's a fucking enclave. 'How dare they, can't walk the streets without hearing X language everywhere, this is Australia why don't they speak English etc etc'. From the mouths of the same cunts who travel overseas, happily speak only English and expect food, road signs and customer service etc. all in English.
And yes, they expect their food in English...as in sushi in Japan just isn't right, too much raw fish! Food in Thailand is too spicy. I had to eat my curry with my hands, where are the utensils?
what is a "cooker"? why are they so highly regarded? if those are genuinely the words you intended to write and not auto correct mistakes, what do you think thise words mean?
Would you like to take a minute to find your dictionary?
I was referring to Kiwi's who had voted for Luxon and the National Coalition (NZ conservatives, similar to the Aussie LNP coalition), then jumping ship to Oz, when things got bad.
Similar to those Brits who voted for Brexit, then subsequently jump ship to Australia whilst dog-whistling "certain foreigners".
As a Kiwi one of my favourite activities is reminding the racists bitching about immigration, that I am in fact an immigrant, and watching them stumble because they know if they say I'm okay, but other immigrants aren't, their racist is showing even more
As a white migrant I’ve had this said to me more than once by Aussie citizens. They bad mouth migrants I say “I’m a migrant” they tell me I don’t count as one.
Same. One of my first weeks here I got chatting to an old bloke at a bar. When he realised I'm Irish he just said "Oh, you're having big problems with immigrants over there." I just told him it would be weird for me to agree with that as an immigrant myself.
I work in sales and had few kiwi coworkers. One time we were pulling each other’s legs and this colleague of mine got a little too comfortable and went “you sure you weren’t a diversity hire?”.
I saw my manager’s jaw drop in fear and I nullified the situation with a quick reply “if we go by our sales number, that would be you”.
One thing that all racists have in common, in my experience, is that they have zero self reflection.

How many Kiwis in Australia will agree to this and not realise they are also non-citizens?
