My apologies if my post gave you the inclination for these bigoted and racist posts.

Oh really. If they are losers in their own country they are hardly going to succeed here. You really think they come here for the mountains, the rivers and the trout fishing. It's the free medical dental dole and a free house. Or lowly paid Indians getting a tax payer funded education for their kids and free medical for their parents. But back to OCA. Even lower today although the average shares are up.
Calling other people losers....this from the guy that posts in the guise of a child half of the time...hmmm
Absolutely racist. So racist it may drive some contributors from the forum. There's a difference between robust debate or having an opinion and just spouting your own racist ideology. Really awful. So many interesting ideas and approaches are posted on this thread. It's a shame to debase all the healthy discussion with a racist diatribe.
I agree. The guy should be banned. I know MANY immigrants and they contribute hugely. Some have paid 100s of thousands to get an education here and or bring needed skills. Plus since I moved to Christchurch a couple of years ago I can tell you it is very multicultural. Ignorance at it's finest. Plus the effort and risk they take to build a new life most here will never appreciate. I don't think the forum needs a pool boy.
The parent category visa needs added scrutiny given what NZ super costs.
Remember that many expats in Australia will be coming back here and claming super too which needs to be planned for.
Factually correct though. Move out of your comfort zone and walk past state houses and council houses. They are just about all foreign people. We have our own poor people who should be housed and given money first.
Bless them. Good on them. But I don't really want my tax payer money going to pay for some other countries problem people when we have enough problems here.
It is not factually correct at all. Did it ever occur to you that perhaps the people you have see seen, are immigrants brought out to NZ under the refugee quota/program? People in that category will be receiving government assistance until they can get on their feet and find employment. If you object to your tax dollars being spent on that, you are a selfish, uncaring human being.
The vast majority of immigrants are here because they have met the criteria for residency. That includes having a job offer and/or skills in particular employment sectors. They have a work ethic that is sadly lacking amongst many Kiwis. They are people who value and appreciate higher education and are probably amongst the “smartest” in both their own country and ours. Some of those “immigrants” to choose to disparage, have been here for many years. Plus, you literally have no way of knowing if someone from a different culture, that you met on the street was actually born here, making them a citizen, like you and I.
It is attitudes like yours that are dividing this country and destroying our history of being a caring and welcoming country. Just pack up your pool cleaning gear and go clean pools elsewhere. Your racism is not wanted or needed here.
Your mother must be so proud of you.
Now go away and let the rest of us get back on topic! :mad ;:
