Re: Migrating to Australia - Is it still Worth the Risk
Guys.
This is getting ridiculous. Over the years we have had many posters very outspoken about their hatred for Australia, yet I don't think any of them have come in for as much stick as Chris.
This guy has moved his family home - which let's face it is what many of you say "If you don't like it, leave" - whilst freely admitting in many posts that there were aspects of Australia that weren't that bad, they just didn't suit him and his family. He has stuck around after moving back to post about life back home, and while he is obviously biased as he prefers the UK he posts his experiences in an honest and polite manner - life as he sees it.
The way that an increasing number of posters on this forum are attacking him is getting very close to bullying and it will not be tolerated. The Aus forum is acquiring a nasty undercurrent where many people who are not 100% happy here are getting scared to post in case they get similar nasty replies.
If you don't want to read Chris's posts, put him on ignore. Cut out the snide digs and the personal remarks. This forum is for supporting each other and exchanging views, not for use as a platform for bullying and mud slinging. Lets have a lot more tolerance, understanding, and acceptance that everyone's experience of life is different, please.
