Which is why we have an Ausbloodystralia thread and not a Pofuckingland thread?
Is it? Winding down for the weekend Fitzy? Early start for me today.
Doing reports, very boring, getting out of here soon, but weekend will be wet which will curtail activities.
There is unbelievable undercurrent of casual racism Fitzy. I see it at football more than anywhere. Perth is also very class centric. And thi plays itself out here week to week. The less well off and Aboriginal boys get treated differently and have different rules. One if our star players got dropped last week, he’s Aboriginal, for going out in a Wednesday night. Now all the players know of plenty other guys going out midweek and alot of the lads in college are out midweek (mostly white) and nothing is said or done. Another lad was having issues with his woman an kid ( she wasn’t letting him see his kid) and he was late for a recovery session on a Sunday and they dropped him, again from the wrong side of the track and half Indigenious. There are white lads being absolute dickheads aroun the club and not putting in the effort of others and nothing is done. I believe this to be normal carry on at a couple if other clubs as well, but not the best clubs of course.
To be honest, in alot of cases it’s generally good people doing these things and making these decisions. It’s just so bred into them to be the way they are. Everyone get classed here in WA. First by colour then by nationality. Whites first get respect, then American & Canadians, then Brits, then us, then the rest if Europe. This Brown people like Indians etc come next and so on down the line. It’s unbelievable.
Someone might even see this someday and I may get fucked out for it, but to be honest, as valuable as the experience is I’m seriously considering my place here. It drives me mental. I struggle to watch the things that go in and accept them. The biggest thing I notice about West Aussies here is they can’t smile at Indigenious people, it’s sad really. They are very judgmental in where your from.
The East Coast, while far from perfect, is certainly better in my experience. I felt alot of multi culturism in Sydney.

Anecdotally I have been hearing alot if the farmers have got together inWA and have stopped paying people doing their 3 months agri work for 2nd year visas. This is an absolute disgrace and shocking that they get away with it.[/quote]
This has become fairly common in last few years Kev. They’ll give them food and lodgings but that’s it, no ‘wages’
It’s completely illegal. They nearly got rid of the 3 month thing anyway but decided against it after massive pressure from te agri sector. They made promises of making sure minimum wages were met etc. instead it’s got worse, with absolutely nobody getting money now and the “lodgings” being rat infested barns and out houses.
I’m not arguing its legality, I’m just telling you the reality. I’m sure for every bad story, there’s plenty of good stories
You are really not getting it are you.
NOBODY is getting paid now. There are not good stories. Lads who can drive a machine get money, but all the puckers etc are getting nout.
It is racism at its finest.

So you’re 100% positive that EVERY visa applicant doing their farm work all over Australia is not getting paid? That all 100% of them with no exceptions?
Strange that you start a sentence by saying that NOBODY is getting paid but then mention 2 sentences later that lads who can drive a machine get paid.
I’m being WA specific and it is anecdotal. But that is the word, nobody gets paid for manual labour anymore.
Ah, so you’re using anecdotal stories rather than facts. So you can’t be 100% sure that NOBODY is getting paid anymore? Didn’t think that sensationalist stories were your thing Kev.
They don’t tend to keep stats on such things Mac, especially stats that may establish to Aussies that other Aussies were not doing the right thing.
Sometimes Mac anecdotal stories are all we have, and an awful lot of the time that’s all we need. Really, if you have a decent level of emotional intelligence, you can see thru people over stating something and you can also establish a pattern of stories that sometimes confirm some of what you were originally told.
I’m happy enough with my information, and much of it tallies up with what other Aussies are confirming as well as alot of recent pissing, moaning and poor mouthing from WA farmers that they are broke and in the brink of starvation.

History will judge Julia Giallrd as one of the most remarkable PM’s this country has had, with a legislative and reform record that is remarkable in a hung parliament. But she could not sell her achievements and this is why she had to be deposed. I’m delighted Rudd is back, he will at least fight the nazi cunt who is about to be the next PM.[/quote]

a great day for our great nation
[quote=“Fitzy, post: 792169, member: 236”]Kev, TWCB, GerrardNo1 - did any of you have issues recording the Dub / Kilkenny game off setanta on sunday night? went to watch it last night and it looks to me like the stupid cunts have played the Cork / Clare game twice in a row, as i now have two recordings of that game. Thankfully they repeat it tonight so i can watch / record it then, but it will be sans Gerlock which is extremely annoying.
TWCB - beautiful day in Brisbane yesterday, thanks for laying that on for me pal.[/quote]
I recorded the first Dub / KK game last Thursday, as was advertised on Setanta. Went to watch it over the weekend. They showed Donegal / Down instead. I’ve seen Donegal / Down. I still haven’t seen Dublin / Kilkenny, becuase you keep playing a different game to it when you advertise it, you complete fucking knobends, bell end, dickheads. Fucking hell, why is this os hard? They can get fucking scottish football games that no one gives a flying fuck about right, but can’t show a fucking hurling game when they advertise one? Fucking morons Setanta.:mad:
this thread is about my homeland, not fucking rural Ireland
Which homeland is it this week? Its hard to keep up.
That famous Fitzy temper is showing it’s ugly head on this thread.
he’s had a bad week
NSW and the Lions both lost
any word on KIBMAN fisty?
is he coming back?
Thats beneath you Balbec. In fairness, such criminal behaviour will strike a temper in anyone. I have sent a suitably chastising email to them.
