[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve been.  We have good Australian friends.  It’s basically the USA with kangaroos and funny accents.  And yes they’re every bit as racist as we are historically and contemporarily.  Think we treat undocumented immigrants poorly?  They treat refugees like animals carrying fatal diseases.

I like Australians until they start criticizing Americans because every thing we do badly - and we do a lot of bad stuff - they do just as well. [/quote]

Actually refugees are provided with a reasonably high level of government support in Australia. Illegal arrivals are an entirely different story.

I can understand how superficially, eg like when you are just visiting, it probably may seem pretty similar to the US. Of course, the coffee and food are much generally better though.

These refugees and others would disagree with you:

I’m sure they would. Australia does not accept asylum seekers who arrive by boat. They are taken to offshore detention centres largely in the Pacific. It does, however, accept refugees primarily referred through the UNHCR. [/quote]
