Sounds like MY schooldays, in outer suburban Melbourne of the 1960's, when half the kids were those of newly arrived Greek and Italian immigrants
One of the kids introduced me to pizza for the first time at a 'lunch swap'
NOWADAYS I imagine the kids at my old school are swapping for pork dumplings, won-tons and tandooris
LOL....Brings back fond memories.
I used to walk home with a kid called Enzo, whose big Italian Mama thought I was too skinny.
When I finally got home my mum wondered why I didn't want any dinner.
I can remember walking through Brunswick, late '50s early '60s, with my girlfriend.
Never once were we harassed by the Italian kids.
Sth Yarra, Toorak, Malvern, etc were a different matter and they were WASP areas back then.
Very very fond memories (food wise). Although mine are from the nineties, North-cote boy. Parts of me think there should be "mumma" kitchens in all neighbourhoods.
Heaps of the best food you can eat while being treated like a king. But ultimately i prefer the females in my life to give me 'heaps' rather than feed it to me. I can already feel the resulting pain of the suggestion of "mumma" kitchens.
Blue. red. less. more. hugs. or go the f&#k home.
The debate is stale. the debate is stupid. The difference in outcomes means nothing.
We need to impose on any new arrivals. Where to work, when they work and what they do.
They need conditions that will benefit them and the country in which they wish to live.
Nothing is free, everything should be earnt.
Everything i have I’ve worked for in some way, if you don't earn 'it', than 'it' is meaningless.
