Mass uncontrolled immigration has ruined our country:

Just buy a house, Pull yourself up by your bootstraps, Stop wasting money on designer clothes and lattes. The people dishing out this advice are the same ones who got to play the property game on easy mode. They bought homes when they were ultra cheap than and rode a wave of government-backed policies that turned their modest investments into golden tickets.
And now? They look down from their ivory towers—built on decades of speculative growth—and wag their fingers at people without a home and call them ‘lazy’ & ‘entitled’. The thing is, they don’t have a clue what it’s like to save in an economy where every dollar is worth less by the day, where rent eats up half your paycheck, and where house prices have skyrocketed to the point that even a shoebox in the suburbs feels like a pipe dream.

Multiculturalism has failed Australia

We seem to have people from multiple cultures getting along in all the workplaces I have been in over the last 50 years and not just workplaces, sports, clubs anywhere really.

Maybe it snuck up on you when you were not watching.

You evidently have not read or understood the first few posts on his thread.
No surprise.

I think that is the other way around, you think that 50 plus years of a stable mixing of cultures is destroyed by a couple of incidents that are about something different.

How many of us don't have friends who's original heritage is from any of 10 or 15 other countries. How many of us are not just as comfortable eating food that is Australian based - Italian, greek, Asian, Lebanese, english, french etc ? Not a second thought. You can have a beer with 5 guys who all have a family from a different country and you don't even notice.

Sorry but Multi culture in Australia is a done deal. It's over and done. The Australian guy I play golf withs father was German, the guy I sit next to on the train speaks Spanish, My Daughters swim coach was Polish. I worked with a Video machine tech for 10 years before I realised that the reason he didn't drink was because he was Muslim. They are all Australian, all nice people. They are us.

I am so glad I own my own place.

I feel so sorry for the young people of today.
Their country was ruined by incompetent politicians.

Incompetent or greedy ? I don't think selling out to money was an accident.
