    Its probably a repeat of the mistakes we made when we allowed the Serbs and the Croations to bring their centuries old grievances to Austrlalia. We have probably made the same mistake with what is probably a dispute between the Muslim Somalians and the Christian Somalians

    When we will we ever learn from our mistakes of the past!

    There are no statistics in that article, only statements that allege the statistics exist, which they dont. I have posted the Victorian Police dept crime statistics which do not support your claim. There is nothing else to be said.

    Incorrect as I have shown, the Victorian Police dept official crime statistics do not support your claim, in fact the Victorian Police dept does not collate official crime statistics based on race or ethnicity.

    You'll find there is a pub brawl or two in very corner of Australia on a Friday/Saturday night. What makes this any different?

    Media hype.

    LOL

    Just because you didn't have the paper means they didn't exist!

    The table doesn't appear in the online story, deal with it lala.

    Do Aussies use knives?

    Reminds me of a certain group from Eastern Europe who were quick to draw a knife in any confrontation. They were also notorious for showing their National flag at certain soccer matches (even though they were of the second generation) until the Soccer Federation had the guts to ban National Flags.

    Dili,
    in which part of Australia do you live?
    Where I live, Australians are using knifes, bottles and baseball bats, demonstrating their intellectual as well as their aggression level, unfortunately.
    And, apart from what I witnessed myself, once reading the paper the names popping up don't at all remind me to a French, German, Italian, Sudanese or else, but pretty much to good Aussie household names.

    They were just waiting for the footy you moron. They had no interest in anything political. Are you Australian? It doesn't sound like it.

If you knew anything about which you are talking you would know that statiistics on the racial group of offenders were previously compiled, the information found to be notoriously inarracurate and the practise stopped some years ago.

    I was responding to.....

    "Just got back from Bluesfest, more than a hundred thousand people getting along, fancy that, Oxyboy. 30,000 people at Dylan, all well-behaved. We all fitted in just fine"

    But as usual all you have is a personal attack. Weak.

    No, you dont. All you have is a story, there is nothing in the article to indicate those figures are authentic. I have posted the official statistics which do not support your claim. Obviously you find this hard to understand, perhaps because you feel a little embarrassed about not finding out the facts first. Its understandable, I would be embarrassed if I were you too. Maybe stick to stuff you know something about, footy scores or something eh?

    The table does not quote Victorian Police Dept figures, I have posted Victorian Police dept figures which do not support those in your "table", I cant make it any clearer.

    dinky diy Assies, I am afraid to say.
    Most of the late settlers we met however are doing it quite right. Which doesn't mean there are some, who don't...
    Have a great weekend alltogether, cheers m2catter

    What are the Vic. Police trying to hide, their incompetence perhaps? Or is it just a case of Political Correctness gone mad?

    The problem is not with the Sudanese or Muslims, whatever. Its with the racist bogan Australians who refuse to accept these people and treate them like human beings.
    Walk over to them, say hi, they won't bite. No wonder they get pissed off what with all the racist idiots in this country - many of whom like to write letters to the Herald Sun, I might add.

    Wow, Makkede,
    you got guts, to say it that direct!
    Yes, that's the way I feel it sometimes too, and the person you are referring to with the Herald Sun has probately never left his country town. But instead uses the Herald Sun for his increased knowledge, or better deceased?
    Cheers m2catter
