Regards France, you were looking at the Fuel prices issue.
I was talking about the current refugee issue, and the problems with 2nd and 3rd generation refugees from Africa.
A major issue is that instead of accepting the destination country's way of life, they want to change
the country to their way of life. If their country was better, why come to the new country.
Basic things are ok, but it tends to go too far.
Trying to be politically correct, the receiving country bends its rule to accommodate that.
"A mate of mine, Age around 70, living in Auburn (Sydney) for last 30 odd years was mowing his lawn on a hot day in his swimmers.
3 ladies in Burkhas walk up to him and tell him "he should be ashamed of himself, and to go and dress appropriately".
Then they walk up to an empty Lot near his house, to join a a party with a large group of noisy people, Blaring music etc".
Above is not necessarily a refuge issue, but the mindset of people.
The attitude of a large number of refugees is bad, take all and more, then screw the very people who provide them with an opportunity to start afresh.

It's strange to see Australians use this logic since we've almost completely wiped out aboriginal culture.
However, this is besides the point. The topic of the discussion was the treatment of those pending refugee status.
Australia needs immigrants to survive. We have a massive skill shortage. The list of occupations can be found below:

I agree that they were wrong for attempting to shame him though. Lawn mowing in summer is the worst. If anything, I pitty them for having to wear a burkha in this heat. I can barely survive in shorts.
Though, I can't criticize them for blaring music since my friends and I haven't figured out how to have a quiet night yet.
