Hey hey hey all my politics loving mates how the hell is ya :) ?
So recently the Australian government has decided to change their policy on asylum seekers arriving by boat , mostly from Indonesia ( via places such as Iraq , Sri Lanka , Syria , Afghanistan and Burma and others ) . The new policy states that any asylum seekers arriving by boat in Australia will be sent to Papua New Guinea instead of being sent to Australia to be processed there. If there asylum claims are approved they will then be integrated into the Papua New Guinea population and Australia will effectively be washing their hands of this so called problem and just passing the buck onto a much poorer and ill equipped country in return for a few million dollars no doubt . This has enraged me to no end ... for a country in such a lucky position as ours we should be trying to help our neighbors and not burdening them with something most Australians consider a problem. To consider boat people a problem is to be massively hypocritical as they seem to forget that Australia was founded by a fleet of boats traveling from England with a whole bunch of convicts and their captors who not only claimed a country to be theirs but took it from a race of people ( Aboriginals ) that had been living there peacefully for 50, 000 years . Im not saying that all immigrants/refugees are a good thing for Australia but I think we owe it to the world to take our share ... I love immigrants , when I walk into a 7-Eleven and am greeted by an Indian ( and they are all Indian ) but when they say to me g'day mate in that funny sounding Australian/Indian/English it brings a smile to my face because at least they are trying to assimilate and integrate with our culture and society and that's all we can ask . On the other end of the scale I have witnessed first hand when immigration fails as these examples will show . In Brisbane where im from there is a suburb called Moorooka which we have now dubbed Moorookadishu after the capital of Somalia Mogadishu because it is literally overrun with Somalians and they basically just stay in this suburb and don't try and integrate with society and just stay in their own community which is not good for society as a whole as it just creates segregation in the society . This is also evident in another suburb called Sunnybank where its basically refereed to as Chinatown as its just fulk of Asians ... literally , and as the same in Moorookadishu they tend to keep to themselves and not integrate what soever with the general population , there are countless Asian food stores etc with only Asian writing on the outside with no English whatsoever . Anyways my point is that the government needs to be more proactive in helping immigrants integrate into our society so we can all get along and enjoy this country which I strongly believe to be the best in the world :)
Australia is so good in so many ways bur has been repeatedly failed by its inept and generally absolutely useless government ... from the chopping and changing of our prime ministers to the disgrace with which we have treated the indigenous population of our country to the unbelievable handling of our country's economics remembering that we have so much natural resources not to mention a very strong tourism and farming/agriculture sector . I reckon my little 10 year old brother could do a better job than % 50 of all the politicians currently in power in Australia .
To all the inept and just basically retarded and ignorant politicians who don't look at the bigger picture I hope your pet dog dies and that your houses burn down and YOU somehow will be forced to escape our beautiful country fleeing from violence and persecution by boarding a fishing boat 50ft long which is only supposed to carry 30 people but 180 people are packed in like sardines and set off into the open sea to risk their lives to have a better life . Seriously fuck you all you dirty rotten scoundrels .
That is all , Peace out , Catch ;)
Imagine having to be on this boat in the open seas for days with all these people just to have the chance at a better life ... good luck to them I say ... just bloody integrate when you arrive in our beautiful country ;) :P
