I went to Melbourne and stayed about there monthes 2-3 years ago. I realy liked there and met so many nice people. So many people from so many different countries living there, mostly Greek, Italian and Chinese..but you can even meet people from some where which you havent heard before.
I wouldnt think such a bad thing would happen in Australia, since I saw those people were living in peace there.But relating to this issue,the only thing that I remember people there don't ask where you from first,,,they ask you what nationality are you from? So actualy they just prefer to say "I am Turk/Greek or Italian",, whatever. So I think Australia is just like a country which they can only work and get food for them. They don't accept Australia is their home. Even some people cannot speak English ( just like me

)
All in all, I don't know how Howard goverment will sort this out, but such ghetto stuff might hurt so many people there, mostly youth people..hope this will end up soon.
