14! Benson & Hedges! 88!
Hutt hutt hutt!
Following close on the heels of the recycled email declaring that Aborigines can travel anywhere for free comes the schnews that refugees are stealing the tins of cat and dog food pensioners subsist on, selling the contents on eBay for a massive profit, and using the empty cans to construct a massive wall around their rapidly-expanding rural and urban ghettoes. All to rounds of applause from tree hugging greenie, homo, bleeding heart, commie, socio-parasitic, democratic, race-mixing, cosmopolitan, globalist, pseudo-intellectual, pinko, trendy yuppie scum.
Or something like that.
Actually, shit-for-brains local racists have been getting all excited as the result of the circulation of yet another, considerably old and horribly foreign piece of propaganda, allegedly originating in Canada. Like any other good meme, it resurfaces periodically to delight bigots and frustrate advocates. MediaWatch ran a piece on the propaganda earlier in the week; Snopes provides a run-down on the original, which apparently dates to March 2004 and an article in the Toronto Star. Anyways, here’s what the tree hugging greenie, homo, bleeding heart, commie, socio-parasitic, democratic, race-mixing, cosmopolitan, globalist, pseudo-intellectual, pinko, trendy yuppie scum of the Refugee Council of Australia had to say:
RESPONSE TO OUTLANDISH CLAIMS ABOUT BENEFITS TO REFUGEES
October 2, 2007The Refugee Council of Australia has called on Australians to ignore an email which continues to be circulated nationally and claims that a single refugee receives $1458 more per month than an aged pensioner.
The email […] statement is blatantly inaccurate and intended to create resentment towards refugees and fuel racism.
A refugee who has permanent residency in Australia receives exactly the same social security benefit as any Australian-born person in the same circumstances. Refugees apply for social security through Centrelink like everyone else and are assessed for the different payment options in the same way as everyone else.
A single person applying for Newstart Allowance (whether or not he or she is a refugee) will receive $424.38 per fortnight, whereas a single person on an Aged Pension Payment will receive a fortnightly payment of $525.10. A single aged pensioner therefore receives more than $100 per fortnight more than a single refugee (or a single Australian-born person) who qualifies for Newstart – not $1458 per month less, as claimed in the email.
Refugees have fled persecution in their own country and sought safety and peace in Australia. The authors of this email are intentionally trying to create ill feeling towards refugees by spreading false information.
And how.
But enough of this tomfoolery. Briggs’ chaffeur-driven limousine has just rocked up outside the slackbastard mansion, and we’re off to some fugees’ palace in Toorak to join ZOG agents 008 and 009 to snort coke — washed down with vodka bought with KGB gold — off the ample bosoms of professional strippers.
that’s just retarded … NO ONE who has EVER dealt with cunterlink for 5 minutes would believe that they would do this, cause it would involve doing something nice even if only for a section of the community and being helpful to even 1 person goes against everything cunterlink hold dear.
Slow week @ndy?
What they said was a “A refugee who has permanent residency”… PERMANENT!!!
So until they are given Australian residential status, they clean up on all the special benefits that are mentioned in that email (plus a shit load more). That’s what the refugee council fails to mention.
thanks to the comments from other adam i’m chucking an r at the end of my name

“shut your mouth and open up your eyes” – Mutiny
Adam: Huh? Are you stupid? The email actually refers to non-existent conditions in CANADA, in 2004. Read the Snopes reference in the above post. With regards the fabulous wealth that is being constantly poured into the outstretched hands of asylum seekers — that is, those persons authorities have yet to classify as deserving of the status of refugee (or not) — this is simply false. Those asylum seekers who have managed to escape the prison system — a mandatory component of the refugee processing system in Australia — and who receive what’s known as a bridging visa are legally entitled to very little: they are not entitled to work or to receive an ‘income supplement’ (unemployment benefits and various other forms of welfare). In other words, asylum seekers and refugees are among the most impoverished members of the population.
The refugees are rorting the system of valuable tax dollars.
Tony R is rorting the atmospheric system of valuable oxygen.
i couldn’t agree more with tony. honestly, what he said gives us dispossessed traditional peoples plenty of reasons to demand the rent from thieving queue jumpers, which should be done before we load our rifles and send the lot of them back to europe. before we round up the brits and the irish for deportation, we should start with the techno trance-loving, 3/4 pants-wearing scandinavians. you’re a fellow aborigine, aren’t you tony?
