Aussies Picking On Irish Again

IrishAm · 08-05-2012 07:52PM

Yes Johnjoe, those awful racist Aussies. How anti Irish of them to issue working holiday visas to tens of thousands of young Irish people and to keep them off the live register! :pac:

The vast majority of these Irish immigrants are from smaller rural areas and its probably their first time living abroad.

The older, more established Irish community and Irish organisations in Oz need to have a word with these p*ssheads and get them to control their behaviour. They have been given a great opportunity in Oz. If they work hard, they can get a sponsor and eventually citizenship. It they want to fuck that up for themselves, fine. But if they keep acting the bollix I wouldnt be surprised if the authorities put an end to the working holiday visa and others will miss out due to their actions.

That, and they are tarnishing our name. We have a good name abroad. The Celtic Cubs may change that.

They should be sent back to whatever hell hole they came from.

Can't understand how the Aussie's are letting in such a large number of Irish who have fairly serious convictions here.

I was under the impression you needed a clean record to enter the country? Maybe people are lying on the visa forms and the Aussies arent carrying out sufficient background checks?

Fair play to ye jonjo, ye didn't sink to their alleged level by generalising and tarring all with the same brush.

So someone posted an E-mail stating something without anything directly from the cops....um, that's perfectly legit.

woodoo · 08-05-2012 08:10PM

What we think is normal and happens every weekend up and down Ireland is not considered normal in countries like Oz. It is considered completely normal to have large groups of noisy, fighting, vomiting, arguing, screaming, vandalising, littering drunken people running riot from 12am to 3am in every small to medium size town and city on a Friday and Saturday night here.

Other countries drink but don't turn into rabid delinquents like a lot of Irish do. We seem to think the louder and more boisterous we are the better crack we are. Ah shur i was only messin liiiiiiike! Whats wrong wit ya! I was only havin the craic liiiiiike!

Exactly maybe the met should target the Aussies, you could imagine the uproar in England if they did because police dont single out races in public there unlike the aussies.

A mate of mine lives over there and he was telling me that on Saint Patricks Day the cops were out in force. Their immigration officers were intermingling with the crowds of Irish and checking them, to make sure they were not overstayers. Very polite and courteous. They carted off a couple and deported them.

Proper order, too. I wish our boyos were that proactive.

Dickheads in Ireland are just as likely to be dickheads in Australia.

Every Nation has it's fair share of eejits.

Have you ever watched Channel Five in the UK? It effectively airs endless reiterations of "Booze Britain" on an almost daily basis. Much of what they air wouldn't look out of place in any Town or City across Ireland.

As much as you would like to believe, we are not entirely unique in our attitude toward excessive drinking. :rolleyes:

Regarding the accusation of Anti-Irish sentiment. I wouldn't be so quick to cry foul. My Brother and his Friend were unfortunate enough to have found themselves on the sharp end of Aussie bigotry - not because they were Irish, rather because they were Backpackers.

Oh for God's sake, of course the English police would come down hard on a group of Aussies acting like eejits at a Walkabout pub.

If you prance about the Antipodes in a GAA jersey, you deserve to be taken by a shark.

Sappa · 08-05-2012 08:24PM

If you walk up Swanson street Melbourne in the late hours on a weekend,the amount of Aussie idiots,screaming and being a twat is very evident.
Now certain groups of ay nation with booze in one area are going to make some noise when they are drunk,targeting the Irish is purely picking on an easy target,let them deal with there own idiots but they can`t so they just zone in on an easy target.

What do you mean 'let them deal with there [sic] own idiots but they can't?'

Some employers might have. Not the Irish people. Nor the Irish government. And I cant ever remember the Gardai picking on them either.

Big difference.

Rather than tackling binge drinking as a whole, the authorities have chosen to single out one portion of the community.

I guess it's always better to put a face on a crime. It's much easier for the public to direct their anger.

I'm just speculating. I've yet to see any solid evidence that the authorities are specifically targeting the Irish community.

The Irish police would not treat Polish people like that.

The Irish would not be the first group to be higlighted as being somehow antisocial by australians. It would be the aborigines in Darwin or Cairns, sometimes the Lebanese in sydney and whatever ethnic group is flavour of the month in Melbourne.

Casual racism is as australian as kangaroos and always has been.

Should a countries policy not be to deal with the immigrants BEFORE the locals(as you're stuck with the locals either way)

Never seem to hear anyone here saying to ''deal with the irish before the Polish/Africans etc...''

A_Sober_Paddy · 08-05-2012 08:41PM

I was over in Oz, about a year ago at this stage...

The way most Irish people carry on over there is a disgrace, I'm all up for the craic, but drinking all Friday, Saturday and Sunday and causing fights and fighting amongst themselves isn't really the craic...

This happened the week after I left Sydney last year...
http://wentworth-courier.whereilive.com.au/news/story/sunday-bloody-sunday-1/

We are getting a bad rep over there and its kinda worrying

golden lane · 08-05-2012 08:41PM

it is amazing how guilty the polic, and the authorities are...

if all the police and authorities were put in prison.....there would be no crime, no one would be disturbed, and there would not be so much prison accommadation needed.....

simple....

They were treated mildly by the gardaí

Not that long ago some were driving dangerously around the place in their left hand drive cars

Did they even have insurance? Who knows

Those days are gone now but there were plenty of them at one stage

Caliden · 08-05-2012 08:44PM

Nearly had a similar situation in Boston when I moved over.
The landlord had bad experiences with J1'ers who came over during the summer and wrecked the house and was apprehensive about renting the accommodation to us because of it.

As someone already said, it's probably little Joey's first time away from home living on his own and doesn't know any better.

Not looking forward to the summer when they're over here again, it's embarrassing.

Australia is stuck with its own idiots. It doesnt need to import Irelands too.

I lived abroad, before I left my granddad gave me this advice, "Good luck, kid. Remember, you are not just representing yourself over there, you are representing your country too".

Wise words.

I'm well aware of that. But I have been to plenty of places around Europe and America and the Irish and English seem to be the worst for that particular 'acting the goat' type of drinking. Other countries drink plenty like the Germans but they don't get all boisterous and annoying.

Have you ever been in drinking company with Irish people and been asked whats wrong with ya? If you are sitting quietly enjoying your drink or if you speak out against someone about to do something silly. That seems to be a bit of an Irish thing. To equate acting an ass as = good craic.

I would seriously hope that every and any Police Force would treat the general public equally, regardless of whether they were Locals or Immigrants.

On an individual basis, Immigrants may not stay in the Town or City for an extended period of time; The existence of an Immigrant Community will, however, be a constant.
