Most of the outwardly racist ones are poor educated and have a poor family upbringing. I think most aussies are nationalistic which is good.
I am employed on merit in Australia. As for welfare , I look at it this way - my tax money may go in part to loafers but I am using their education system all the time to get back what is worth from them taking my money for taxes. I use their public healthcare system aka medicare. I don't really bother about those loafers.
My goal is different , I am ambitious and I see Australia as a place which will help me in my ambition. I am not there for dirt cheap cars or dirt cheap houses. I am here for my own future.
well u r right...at least u dont mind paying tax..coz u know the welfare systems will also help u not just the lazy bum...
