Key's gift to the homeless

[Drew]

Skinheads being the fuckwits they are, most of them don't hide behind keyboards and made up names at least.

Cooks not a kiwi ya muppet.

Fuck off, he was the very first ever Kiwi.

[Fergus]

Can anyone lend me a pointy white hat so I can jump on the bandwagon?

It seems you've come to the right place to ask...

[Nova.]

Hahah actually I just remembered something that made me believe you about how pathetic the skinheads are down here.
a few months after we moved here me and my pacific islander brother in-law were walking past the Bealey Ave Speights ale house and two skin heads walked out calling him a nigger
by the end of it they were saying how sorry they were and the other one was pulling out his hanky to wipe the blood off his cut above his eyebrow.

That's because most can't write ...

[Woodman]

Why whatever do you mean? Are they claiming that they're being persecuted too?

Don't know if they are complaining or not, what I was referring to was the irony of some Kiwis moaning about refugees/imports when a hell of a lot of Kiwis leave Unzud in search of a better life the same as they do.

With the difference between Kiwis going overseas and NZ accepting boat-people from Nauru being that most (if not all) Kiwis that migrate tend to follow international protocols & laws, rather than simply jumping in a boat thinking "fuck it, they'll have to let me in once I'm there".

There's a good number of said people jumping on a boat, thinking. "Fuck it, jail there would still be better than what we've got here".

Fair enough but a lot of the boat people and their families lives are at threat. Slight difference.

Exactly, therefore your comparison was slightly erroneous, innit?

Actually, you dont need a pointy white hat to develop a particular outlook on 'some' of these refugees, just work with them on a day to day basis and your opinion of them forms the way it does.

[Disco Dan]

what we need is a big island we can send them all too... I've even got a good name for it - Australia.

[BigAl]

What I can't understand is how the boat people actually land in Aus.

Surely the navy undertakes maneuvers using live ammo, mine laying etc.

You lost me there

We can't do that Disco, think of the exhorbitant international roaming data charges they'll incur.

I worked for a multintional tobacco corporate a few years ago, exporting cigarettes to the Pacific Islands (I know, I'm going to burn in hell). We got a bit worried when we saw a massive increase in shipments of a particular (market leading) brand of ciggies to Nauru. As it turned out, the asylum-seekers were getting paid a benefit by the Aussie gubbermint on arrival & subsequent detention and using that money to buy what we consider to be a top-end, premium brand of cigarettes. The smoking Aussies who went up to Nauru to work in the detention centre went on to buy the budget brands which they were accustomed to back home.

Do some reading, the illegals that make it to the mainland in Oz go straight onto a benefit, avoiding any stand-down period that an Aussie citizen would have to endure; even in cases of hardship.
