lol, I'm a Queenslander mate, from another small town that no one gives a fuk about. But we give less of a fuk about Halls Ck. then they do about Biloela!

I could show you Hall's Creek on a map and I still don't care...

Looking for that job wrote:Is there the like in NZ with the Maori ?

NZ is a 100% integrated, multi-cultural country, and has been for decades. Yes, there are the hard-core racists from all ethnicities in NZ, but they are a minority. You will actually find that there are no longer any full blooded Maori left, and you will find that a lot of white NZer's/Pakeha actually have some Maori bloodlines. I am part Maori myself, although you wouldn't be able to tell from looks...apart from my big lips, haha.


Some good reading here if you're interested to learn more...

Intolerance towards indigenous people is typical of colonial societies. Māori, as individuals and communities, were the subject of racism and discrimination as Europeans settled in New Zealand in the 19th century.

However, the extent and nature of intolerance was variable. Partly because of their strength in war and political negotiation, Māori were accorded civil rights through the Treaty of Waitangi, more than a century before Aboriginal people became full citizens of Australia. Māori had four seats in Parliament from 1867, and were members of national sports teams from the beginning. There was a general acceptance of intermarriage. It was commonly thought by Pākehā that Māori were genetically superior to other native peoples, and at the end of the 19th century they were considered to be Aryans, like Anglo-Saxons

There might be a few Snooky posters that will feel a little better when they know about the meat situation there.

Hotdigr contributes his 100 riels worth, you don't get much for 100 riel nowadays. Australia has changed on the surface, I doubt that Halls Creek is like that now. WA has changed a lot as has most of Australia, we tend to hate the moosies more than the abos nowadays. We used to hate the wogs and the dings and the slopes but Australians are mostly these people now so it's much better.
And of course Abo and TI footballers have made people think more about ethnicity. We even have bloody tall Somalians playing AFL so it's hard to hate them. Buddy and Johnathon Thurston are super stars and great men.
And of course Buddy is the son of a Northam WA abo firewood cutter and many love him, it's so confusing for bigots nowadays. Pauline Hanson used to say that we would be swamped with Asians and she was right. Now she may get a Senate seat, I met with the Xenophon number one Senate candidate the other day and she thinks Hanson will get up.
Then we have Barnaby Joyce who is deputy PM and four of his siblings are married to Asians, its so confusing isn't it? And that bloody moosie won the Gold Logie. And then we have that Paki moslem batting for Australia and he is a real winner despite praying five times a day.
