    You are assuming I’m working class? I’ve never said either way. Don’t let my handle here fool you.
    I’ve already stated why I think the plane story is unbelievable. If it turns out I’m wrong I’m big enough to hold my hands up. No denial here.

    Yes I agree there are disproportionate levels of crime in the Traveler community and it’s not racist to assume this. It’s a fair comment.
    But it goes far beyond that around here and Tbh I haven’t the energy to go into the detail of why I think that because it’s been done to death.

    Maybe I went a bit over the top calling people racist, but I genuinely believe there are distinct racist tendencies creeping into society and it’s very evident here.
    I’ve stated on boards before I have more a reason to bear a grudge against Travelers, but I’m determined not to let one (serious) incident cloud my judgement. Maybe I’m too soft, I don’t know.

    Anyway apologies again for the name calling, probably best if I don’t post here again.

    Fair play to you on that post, you're a better poster than I had you down as. We can all disagree without name-calling.

    NZ is being hailed hero's for their no tolerance approach but they have lots to improve on in their own country too . I lived there and have strong connections still back there and Auckland is one of the most racist cities in the world. I worked with CYF and I have witnessed some horrendous things and the police didn't always do what they could . NZ has one of the highest rates of child abuse in the developed world. NZ also has of the worst rates of child death by maltreatment within the family unit.


    True, true.

    The NZ people need to learn to be more like the Irish and look at their feet and pretend to not notice this kind of behaviour, then have a grumble about it afterwards.

    Kiwis in general just aren't like that though, if they have a problem with you they will address it in a direct manner.

    It's a different culture entirely to here.

    probably moved on from Aus after their business model was discovered, new victims surely couldn't believe people would behave this way, they probably don't know how to deal with it at all, Id suggest they boot then out of the country, but I'd probably be slated for being racist against them somehow and their culture.

    Same group??

    Funny, imagine them trying to explain their 'rights' to Duarte.

    Why is anyone surprised that this is the behaviour of Travellers when they are abroad? They are allowed to get away with it in Ireland, so when they 'travel' outside the country they believe that their tradition of thievery, mayhem, and general scumbaggery will be accepted by their hosts.
    Question: Why are they allowed to get away with it in Ireland?

    Pics look different, those women are skinnier and dark haired.

    But I'd say that all Irish people can expect a harder time from Immigration in both Oz and NZ from now on, being asked to prove you've got adequate funds for the stay etc.

    Ye all sound the same to them.

    Oddly, air quotes are being used around the word Irish and/or Tourist in media outlets, don't bash the OP for that.

    This, sadly, is getting a lot of traction locally, in NZ.

    Good. The travellers and other low class Irish types should be kept out.
