Re: Racism rife in finance and IT hiring policies in Australia

I don't know about racist, but many Australians have out-dated views on race and ethnicity.

Brits are seen as hard-working, impeccably polite and highly intelligent.

Indians are unfortunately...

Why is Australia so anti-British?

Australia appears to be institutionally anti-British, even to the extent where their equivalent of OFCOM stated that using terms like "Pommy" and "Pommy Bastard" are not offensive, yet other racist...

Re: Why don't British citizens have anything like an E-3 visa?

Probably not, but if they did I suspect that would be the conclusion. No one minds the Aussies getting a few visas, but if the British started getting them too, then everyone would want one and the...

Re: Why don't British citizens have anything like an E-3 visa?

Maybe considering the legacy of the British Empire and the Revolutionary War they feel that reserving a number of work visas for British citizens would be too politically controversial to pass into...

Basically, the E-3 visa gives Australian citizens the right to work in the US providing they are degree-educated and have a job offer in an area that directly relates to that degree, otherwise known...

Re: UK reaps what it sows

I find it hard to believe Australia is as soft on immigration as the UKBA. If the Australian border TV show is anything to go by, Australian border officers act like a bunch of Nazis.

Honestly, I...

Re: Australia Day / Invasion Day / Day of Racism Discussion

Well, they certainly say "pommy" a lot. In my opinion that's a bit xenophobic.

Re: Is it true Australians see the UK as old-fashioned and out-dated?

I personally regard Australia as being far more out-dated than the UK. The attitude, the architecture, the dress sense, the hair styles all seem straight from 1980s UK.

They seem to be only just...

Re: Is America shutting the door on expats?

Re: Will we lose ITV and BBC TV

Too right, why should expats be able to go to Spain and get British TV for free without paying the licence fee?

Who cares? There are far nicer places to live than America. I don't understand why British people would want to live there.

I personally don't think so. Most Americans don't rate us any higher than they rate France, and some of them rate us even lower than France.

We're just an obscure island nation to America. Some of...

Re: Costa Crociere on the rocks.

Generally speaking Italian culture seems to...

Re: Costa Crociere on the rocks.

I'm suprised by the Daily Mail-esque "HANG THE CAPTAIN" response of the Italian public. It seems that you're guilty before proven innocent in Italy as they arrested the Captain before they even had...

Re: Usefulness of an British Passport

How unpatriotic. May I enquire why you are so keen to "dump" your British passport and presumably British cultural identity in favour of being a "true blue" Aussie?
