Oh dear, have you got any Kiwi ancestors, Stu? If I drop over for a beer, I dont want to have to defend the integrity of my sheepskin seat covers, mate?
But seriously, the Australia of old, with a "fair go" for all is gone....racial hatred, it seems, is condoned and fostered by the media, and thus by our Gubmint. Sure, there are grounds for some, but based on a minority of racial nutters. Now, it seems, according to a large consensus on HC, that those who speak against racial hatred and a fair go for all have become the nutters. A bummer. 50 years back, I had the pleasure to squat in the dirt of Maree in South Australia and chat to the descendants of the Afghan cameliers who helped open up our vast country. Great people. Now, some here would regard them with suspicion....which would be like a slap across the face to them. Sad times, Stu. Dunno what the answer is beyond my "pork chop" suggestion in that other post.
