Hello Alfarwg,
I don’t think it is an election strategy as you say; there is a real issue that force this government to take such a decision, and instead of just keep conning ourselves with such unreal justifications (as racism), we need to be a bit fair and look at our own demerits.
The whole issue I believe is about the failure of these African people to integrate into the main stream culture of this country. That is not to say they have to be Aussie people, rather, just at least behave like good citizens and do like all other residents of this country do. There are so many wonderful opportunities in this country for all who live here, whatever their race or ethnic origin, to reap and benefit themselves.
But unfortunately most of the African people, Sudanese, Ethiopian, Eritrean, and Somalians, just insist on keep living the same type of backward life they used to live back in their original places. We haven’t get the right sense of neither our new situations here, nor how are things going here, and do live like expatriates who know that their residence in the country, whatever it prolonged, is temporal.
Do you know the percentage of these African people in the government housings? Do you realise for how long they keep “pludging” the welfare system? These sorts of services, my friend, is temporal and transitional assistance that put forward for those new arrivals to help them start their new lives, and it was never designed to be for the lifelong.
You might have, of course, heard about family troubles and breakdowns that go off every now and then for such a meager Centrelink payment. And you might have also heard about the trouble that caused by the Sudanese “gangsters” in Noble Park, Victoria, and Blacktown, NSW.
Quote: What amazes me is the Labor party stand on this issue; they gave a bipartisan support to the Howard government. African refugee makes substantial number of the population in some safe Labor seats, like in the seat of Mariybanong and Dandenong in Victoria and in Western Sydney |
Instead of being amazed, my friend, you need to think a bit about it. If there was no real problem, and if it was just a tactical Liberal policy for the elections as you said, nothing would have forced the Labors to risk their advanced poll position and support it.
The issue is, however, revolving around what they call it the “national interest” upon which all of them would agree.
So my point here is that, you educated people have the responsibility of working hard among these communities to guide them into the right direction, and try to increase their awareness about their new situations in this country, and to show them how they can benefit from the available opportunities.
Stay well my friend
And best regards ABUKALID
