Darkies arent welcome down under

Better off posting this on some whitey forum

I'd go their for holiday, but thats it

If I ever emigrate I go states, I get good weather and earn more then I would over here

In Austrailia you earn less, They count on people wanting to live in the sunshine

Maybe if they stopped denying refuge to people on sinking ships they may get people to fill the gaps, or if they stoped doing this:


Howard apologises for detentions Mr Howard has been under fire before for his immigration policies Australian PM John Howard has apologised to two women wrongfully detained as illegal immigrants, after the publication of a scathing report. Mr Howard apologised to both Cornelia Rau, who spent 10 months in a detention centre, and Vivian Alvarez, who was mistakenly deported to the Philippines.
In light of the report, Immigration Minister Amanda Vanstone admitted that changes needed to be made.
The department's head, Bill Farmer, resigned earlier this week.
The 195-page report, by former federal police commissioner Mick Palmer, found a series of problems in the handling of the cases of both Ms Rau and Ms Alvarez.
The 10-month detention last year of German-born Cornelia Rau sparked the inquiry.
Philippine-born Vivian Alvarez was also mistakenly identified as an illegal immigrant and deported in 2001.
The Palmer report found that Ms Alvarez was a "partial quadriplegic" at the time she was sent back to Manila. Her lawyers claim she was so incapacitated she could not sign her name and had to use a thumb print as a signature.
Australian citizen Vivian Alvarez was mistakenly deported She currently remains in the Philippines while her lawyers negotiate a compensation package.
The government has referred another 200 cases of possible wrongful detention to a wider inquiry.
"On behalf of the government, I give those apologies to both of those women who were the victims of mistakes by the department," Mr Howard told reporters on Thursday.
But Ms Alvarez's lawyer George Newhouse rejected his apology.
"If they were serious about an apology, they would commit to an appropriate care package for Vivian so she can return to the country - otherwise it's just crocodile tears," he told the Associated Press.
The opposition Labor Party called for Mr Howard to fire Immigration Minister Amanda Vanstone as a result of the mistakes, but the prime minister stood by her, saying that overseeing Australia's immigration system was a difficult task.
Australia's tough immigration policies have long been criticised by human rights groups.
In the face of widespread pressure, the government recently ended its policy of detaining children, along with their families, on suspicion of being illegal immigrants.

Australia asylum infant released Naomi Leong was one of 28 children at Villawood detention centre A three-year old girl who has spent her whole life in an Australian detention centre has enjoyed a first night of freedom. Naomi Leong and her Malaysian mother Virginia were released from Sydney's Villawood detention centre on Monday.
Psychiatrists say Naomi has mental health problems, reportedly banging her head against the centre's walls.
Her detention was the latest of a string of controversial cases regarding Australia's very tough asylum policy.
Ms Leong said she and her daughter were both too excited to sleep during their first night away from Villawood.
Naomi was "very active, jumping up and down like a monkey", the Sydney Morning Herald reported her as saying.
Ms Leong had been in detention since she was caught trying to fly out of Sydney on a false passport nearly four years ago. She had overstayed her visa.
She and her daughter have now been granted temporary visas. Refugee activists called on the government to give them permanent residency immediately.
There has been intense Malaysian and Australian media interest in the Leongs' case.
Several psychiatric reports have found that both Naomi and her mother are suffering from mental health problems. When Naomi was allowed to attend a playgroup outside Villawood for the first time earlier this month, she reportedly asked not to return to the centre.
Australian Prime Minister John Howard denied the mother and daughter's release was in response to Malaysian media pressure.
Other cases
Australia's tough asylum policy, which requires all illegal immigrants to be indefinitely detained, is also under the spotlight due to two other high-profile cases.
Both Cornelia Rau, a German-born Australian resident, and Vivian Alvarez, a Philippines-born Australian citizen, are seeking compensation from the Australian government for wrongful treatment.
Ms Rau, whom her family says is mentally ill, was detained after going missing from a psychiatric ward in Sydney last year. She told the authorities she was a German woman named Anna Schmidt.
Ms Alvarez, who is disabled, was erroneously deported to the Philippines four years ago. The government sent a social worker to Manila on Monday to bring her back, but her lawyers first want Canberra to agree sufficient compensation to pay for her care.

Australia reviews detention cases Australian citizen Vivian Alvarez was mistakenly deported Australia's government is reviewing 201 cases of possible wrongful detention under its strict immigration policy, in the wake of several high-profile cases. Immigration Minister Amanda Vanstone said she wanted a "clean slate".
Two women are seeking compensation for their treatment as illegal immigrants, and an infant has just been freed after spending her entire life in detention.
The cases have prompted a rare revolt from the government's backbenchers over its tough immigration policy.
Government rebels, led by Victoria state politician Petro Georgiou, are calling for a conscience vote over the policy of indefinitely detaining all illegal immigrants.
Ms Vanstone said every one of the 201 cases would be scrutinised, "because the department is determined to recognise what problems it may have and to change".
A number of controversial immigration cases have come to light in recent weeks.
They include those of Cornelia Rau, a German-born Australian resident, and Vivian Alvarez, a Philippines-born Australian citizen.
Ms Rau, whom her family says is mentally ill, was held for 10 months in a detention centre for illegal immigrants after going missing from a psychiatric ward in Sydney last year. She told the authorities she was a German woman named Anna Schmidt.
Ms Alvarez, who is disabled, was erroneously deported to the Philippines four years ago. The government sent a social worker to Manila on Monday to bring her back, but her lawyers first want Canberra to agree sufficient compensation to pay for her care.
Spotlight on children
And on Monday, three-year-old Naomi Leong and her Malaysian mother Virginia were released from Sydney's Villawood detention centre, where Naomi had been held since she was born.
Psychiatrists say Naomi has mental health problems, and was reportedly banging her head against the centre's walls.
Sixty-seven children remain in Australia's detention centres.
But Prime Minister John Howard ruled on Wednesday that a baby born to a Vietnamese couple being held at an offshore centre, for illegal entry, would not be taken into detention.
He said Michael Andrew Tran, who was born on Monday night, would live in community accommodation in Australia.
A spokeswoman for Mr Howard later said the government had no immediate plans to return the couple to detention, on Christmas Island.

Australia's Pacific Solution

By Sarah Macdonald
Reporting from Nauru for Correspondent In September 2001, the Australian Government hatched an extreme response to 400 asylum seekers rescued from the Indian Ocean - they called it their "Pacific Solution". The Afghanis on board the now infamous Norwegian cargo ship The Tampa, claimed to be fleeing not only the Taleban but centuries of religious persecution.
The Australian Navy ensure refugees keep their distance People smugglers had promised them a new life in Australia, in return for thousands of dollars.
But instead of a new life, Australia effectively sold them to the near-bankrupt island of Nauru, thousands of miles away into the middle of the Pacific.
In return, Australia paid Nauru $30 million.
Amnesty International was allowed a one-off visit to Nauru before the island was effectively "shut down".
They claim Australia has become an extension of the human smuggling process.
John Pace: "Nauru has improved people smuggling" John Pace, author of the Amnesty report on Nauru says: "Rather than put a stop to people trafficking, it improved people smuggling. The Australian navy was added on at the end of the chain of transportation in order to divert these groups to other countries using Australian naval transportation.
"This renders the function of the navy equivalent to the Indonesian fishermen and the smugglers who engaged those fishermen."

A closed island
No journalists or lawyers are allowed on Nauru. Consequently the treatment of those asylum seekers remained a mystery - until now.
With secret cameras, Correspondent managed to get inside the camps where the Tampa asylum seekers have been locked up for nearly a year.
The physical conditions are harsh, but not extreme.
In some cases, they are actually better off than the Nauruan's who suffer power black outs and water cuts upwards of three times a day.
Australia's money has paid for a generator and desalination plant for its Pacific captors.
Suffering
The face of despair and bewilderment They were told they would be on the island for a few weeks while their claims for asylum were determined. They were then to be freed.
The hospital is filling up with asylum seekers "going out of their minds" not knowing their future.
One person has tried to kill himself and there has been a riot.
Most have had their refugee claims rejected and even those granted asylum remain in limbo behind the wire while Australia scours the world for another country to take them.
Vote winner
The refugees' rickety boats do not always last the course It was election time in Australia. It saw the Conservatives fight their campaign around the refugee issue.
The Pacific Solution seemed the perfect way to win votes.
The Government spent $0.5 bn on warships and spy planes to sweep their coastal waters for immigrants
If the fragile Indonesian fishing boats, overloaded with Afghan and Iraqi men, women and children couldn't be turned back out to sea, they would be off-loaded onto the new detention camps on Nauru.
High stakes on both sides
The boat people would sometimes sabotage their vessels to prevent the Australian navy returning them to Indonesia.
And the navy was increasingly accused of brutal behaviour towards the asylum seekers.
In a letter given to Correspondent, a group of asylum seekers held in Australian waters for 11 days by the navy, claim they were beaten with electric cattle prods.
Topside Camp - the refugee's living hell One detainee said that they were handcuffed, laid on their faces and beaten with electrical truncheons.
John Pace from Amnesty International heard the same claims.
Human rights breach?
However, the Australian Minister for Immigration, Philip Ruddock emphatically denies any wrongdoing on behalf of the navy.
Philip Ruddock, Australian Minister for Immigration, blithely defends the government's position He says: "There is no such product as an electric cattle prod in the hands of our service men and women. I think what you were receiving were stories embellished for their own purposes.
"If no such product exists and you take it seriously you have to ask yourself what was the purpose of the comments being made."
Human Rights Watch has released a briefing paper accusing Australia of being on an 'aggressive mission to muster international support for the Pacific Solution' which it condemns as a "violation of the Refugee Convention."
The paper states: "Australia's current refugee policies raise serious human rights concerns, including the use of interception and detention of asylum seekers at sea under 'inhuman and degrading' conditions. This sets a poor example for all coastal states, and is particularly dangerous at a time when Greece and Italy will hold the next two EU presidencies".

You can access the full Human Rights Watch paper here Mr Ruddock claims the Pacific Solution has been hugely successful. Not one boat has embarked towards Australia's shores this year.
The human cost remains
Thousands of asylum seekers remain imprisoned on off-shore detention camps, and four hundred men, women and children drowned when those boats sunk into the seas while trying to reach Australia.

I know alot of Australians and Austrailia is multi-cultural there are alot of Indian, chinease, Black Seychellites, Mauritians and Africans over there especially in Melbourne. The United Kingdom is racist I haven't heard any stories about anyone putting an axe in anyone's head in Austrailia lately,anyone living outside of the UK must see the UK as a racist place.

Good Ol OZ huh?

Sounds like a plan if enough people went along for the ride. If I wasn't in the States I'd grab some friends and check it out. Do things the outback way.

@newstyle

How many immigrant stories about the UK can I bring up..................

Austrailia has the potential to be the new united states what they need is more black people to Jazz the place up.

Black people from Africa and the Carribean should start immigrating to Austrailia there is more space and the climate is better, they have a more layed back attitude which is comaptible to the carribean lifestyle.

Why can't the thousands of white "Australians" in London fill these jobs?

People from Austrailia come to the UK for many reasons ie family ties, relocation from workand marriages as with my friends.
