Re: Australian attitudes
 
the most common nastiness I have had for being an immigrant is usually linked to the fact that i am deaf. It usually comes from bogan types and others around me are usually quick to leap in and denounce that person as a stupid ill educated idiot!

I have had some Aussies say that they do resent immigration as it stops the Govt investing in apprenticeship programmes when they can encourage fully trained migrants instead.

Which is odd because I think they have a great apprenticeship and traineeship programme going.
