Yes I was a boy when the European immigration was at its peak in Australia. I always saw the Greeks and Italians as hard workers. A lot of them got into the building game and a lot got into the farming and produce game.
They made a good contribution to the design and construction of housing in Australia and they bought some great food with them.
When I was a boy I thought the greatest invention was the PIZZA and PASTA dishes the Europeans made.
In those days there were no pizza shops in W.A. where I was raised and most people ate meat and 3 veg.
I for one do not call them lazy at all. Sure the Mafioso came with them but their were criminal gangs in Australia already including the Bikie crime gangs. Now we have the Asian drug gangs and a whole police unit devoted to Middle Eastern Crime MEC.
