    Jeez - what a total geebag.
    I'd put on an auzzie accent just to land that job.

    2 days later I'd whip out my Irish accent.

    How ya like that kunt ?

    All those GAA jersey wearing mucksavages runnin' a muck over there has undoubtedly caused some resentment.

    The add itself is racist but Ozzies, as a nation, score highly in the racist stakes.

    No big deal.

    Surely thats illegal? I thought this was 21st century, Irish people got the same attitude in England aswell

    Some Irish people have the same attitude to foreigners in this country, they just don't advertise it.

    And I'm sure your comments will make him change his opinion of us... Wrong way to go about it maybe?
    You're not going to change the opinion of someone stupid enough to post up an advert like that. What might be fun would be to email the advert to lots of news agencies and let them track him down for public pillory. Actually yeah that's the next move.

    Its a well known fact that no Australians ever drink, puke fight or act the flamin' gallah. Never. Never ever. Fact.


    The amount of people on this here thread who seem to think anti Irish racism is ok is a bit shockin to be honest

    You dont get 50000 of them doing it over here though do ya?

    And is it racism? Really? Isnt racism being biased against a person of a different colour?

    Its not right, but i can sort of understand it.

    Reading some of these replies...oh boards.ie, you're so predictable!

    Racism against anyone but the Irish - NONONO those racist b*stards how dare they! Kill them, equality for all! Who do I write to?!

    Racism against the Irish - serves them right those drunken fools, I agree with this apartheid! Bloody horrible race of people so we are. Anti-irish ads are a-ok with me!

    So, in summary: anti-irish OK. Anti-anyone else NOT OK. :pac:

    What a bunch of insecure, spineless people we have in this nation.

    If a sign like that was in Ireland saying No Polish, or No Blacks - You'd all be quick to condemn it. I don't care what a group of youths do - they do not condemn all Irish people to the same faith, any anyone who believes that such a sign is acceptable - believes that discrimination is acceptable.

    Shame on all of you.

    No sorry there, long lost son of Ron Paul - He doesn't 'oughta' have the final say. That is why we have laws prohibiting discrimination in the workplace.

    This is just incitement/attempted justification of racism.

    Also without wishing to stereotype or generalise in anyway whatsoever, the Australians are a nation of racists.

    fair enough if he doesnt want irish people there, but to advertise specifically telling them not to apply is outright discrimination.

    He has the final say no matter what.

    The smart move would be bin all irish CVs as soon as they arrived.

    I've a feeling he is gonna regret having his number up on net, once word gets around there'll be plenty of nuisance phone calls coming his way.

    I live in the area of Perth mentioned in the ad and it probably has the highest Irish population in WA, a lot of skangers have infiltrated lately as well.

    I agree with you. He should have the right to hire who he wants for whatever reason. However he is a bit of an eejit for publicly stating this online. He should have just discreetly rejected an offer after seeing their nationality on the CV.

    Cos they have a habit of going on the piss every night, starting fights, and generally giving the rest of us a bad rep.

    Unlike the yanks.

    Or the Australians who go to their version of Shagaloof (Bali)

    Kuta is awash with hammered skanger Aussies.
