Guest The Pom Queen Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 AUSTRALIA'S booming economy has turned the country into a magnet for sex workers, drug dealers and rock and roll stars looking to cash in. Well, at least that's what the British are being led to believe. Just weeks after a few high-spirited people at the Melbourne Cup led to the UK press labelling us a nation of drunks, The Daily Mail has published a lengthy expose of Australia's supposed criminal culture. "Australia, once an 18th century penal colony, is still attracting criminals although it would seem they are now going there out of choice," thereport, begins. "The nation’s strong economy, high currency and wages have now made it a magnet for international drug smugglers and foreign sex workers. "Even rock and roll stars are getting in on the act and reaping rewards of performing in a country that is prepared to pay top dollar to have them." This comes after the Daily Mail tut-tutted about our "shocking" behaviour in front of Prince Charles and his missus Camilla at Flemington, where the sight of people rolling around in the paddock revealing their knickers, sucking grog through while dressed as a horse or going the pash in public, was apparently too much for decent people. http://www.news.com.au/world/sex-drugs-rocknroll/story-fndir2ev-1226545607676 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambethlad Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 A trash story by the Aussie government to try to reduce immigration levels? Should keep all those nose in the air, hoity toitys away then. Not such a bad thing really...:biggrin: It wouldn't surprise me if the Federal Labor Government would be happy with anything that could deter Brits from coming. They are happy to make it easier for people from Africa and India to come here because they are ready-made future Labor voters. And they all seem to settle in marginal Labor seats not safe Liberal seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't aware Perth in particular had some sort of migration policy with Sudan until I got here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zk2102 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Got to say that when we were in QSD this summer there did seem to be a lot of 'Private' shops nestled among the other shops. Found it all quite amusing. There was also a few Condom Kingdoms knocking about, lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
