Sadly we often hear (and see) the cases of refugee's that don't integrate in Aussie life, but rarely hear the success stories which Im sure there are many.
Because they do integrate so well and become one of us I guess thats a good thing.
To be honest we need people like them in our workforce, as some of our unemployed aussies are too f$#%ing lazy to do some mundane jobs where there is plenty of work.

I mean the refugees that come over here, get a huge cash start and then can't adapt to the values of the Australian culture.
I'm by no means racist, I do find it a fair kick in the guts when I have been employed for my whole adult life, have children, my wife works yet we can't afford to be driving around in a $50K + car when I know of families that don't work and seem to afford such luxuries, add to the fact that most of them cannot even operate a vehicle to satisfactory level.
It's funny how you are deemed a racist when you, like I do at times, feel a little jaded by things you see.
Sure, I've got empathy for them, for what they've escaped, for what they've seen, but when I walk around the corner from home and see the young African lad and his mates arsing around with a BMW M3 while smoking and drinking all hours of the day and night I can't help but wonder what the **** is going on. Sorry, when I say all hours of the day and night I mean after 11am when they get up and before 3am when they go to bed.

Serious question, what cash start do they get? As far as I’m aware they qualify for the same welfare entitlements as anyone else

What are you actually advocating for? A raise in pensions and genuine refugees get nothing?
