..can you back it up?

You’re not offered a housing commision flat if you have a liveable income. Anyone who is paying <$50 a week rent and living in a housing commission flat is probably collecting welfare payments.

I can’t comment on other commission blocks as I’m not familiar with them but in Prahran you have the Vietnamese and in Flemington you have the Africans. Most of these people are refugees/immigrants and what’s sad is there are an estimated 4,000 homeless already in Melbourne.

I can guarantee you now once the burnt illegals are released from hospital and given insta-visas they’ll be put in nice government housing.

Re Fiji: I don’t see how a minority in a population of 900,000 could be seen as taking over the land but admittedly i’m not a fountain of knowledge on the inner politics of Fiji. Frank seems to be hinting more at the fact of the majority populace are sick of mandatory seats in parliament reserved for minorities thus giving them an unbalanced representation in Fijian parliament.

Whether or not this is the general sentiment of the Fijian people I don’t know but there certainly doesn’t seem to be much resistance to Frank’s trashing of Fiji.

Re Fiji – if I thought Indians were taking over my island, I’d want racially-based laws too. Just look at India and the way people are treated like shit by each other – does anyone want that?

Ultimately, I think all nations are going to face these challenges as the world continues got evolve. Right or wrong, someone is going to feel “left out” because they are in a minority (economically, or otherwise)

How nations respond will decide their futures.

It seems the rationalisation Frank is pulling is akin to the same jealousy of jewish people in America by white supremists there.

Whether or not the Indians use parliament and their economic position for religious advantage I’m not too sure on though. I’d probably have to read up more on their political history.

My understanding is Fiji is mainly Christian, Hindu and Muslim. Not understanding the political ties within Fiji, but last time I checked Hindu’s and Muslim’s don’t have the best working history…..
