You'd never experience that kind of violence in the Lebanon

It's a real shit country. Australia wouldn't fix my car when it broke down. I had to sort it out myself.

But only once you've got your licence. I suspect Mr Tiba has been operating without the proper ticket.

That's why the police won't protect him, he's an unlicenced gangster. Makes perfect sense now
Don't you just loathe people who just get off the plane & don't bother with the correct tickets before they begin their life of crime

I think "gangster" is actually on the skills list, however just because he's been accepted into Australia based on his skills that's no guarantee of him getting employment in his chosen profession, as so many skilled immigrants would know.

I think he's given it the best chance of employment though, moving to Melbourne.

Maybe he's just cross because the family sponsored skills visa is being cut back. We obviously need more of his lot.
