ali Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Can't say I've experienced any of the negative things commented on. Life, quite often is what you make of it. What's been your experience of Perth @Red Rose 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toots Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 If life is so dire for them, why are they still there? Surely you would move away if you disliked the place so much but no, some folk enjoy being martyrs and revel in complaining when they could do something about it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, the first poster says they've suffered for 20 years - why would you not move?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't understand that attitude. As I said some people love to whinge and complain rather than do something positive to change their life.

CeltInCaulfield Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Perth has always been very nice when I have visited on occasion. Much like Sydney, I enjoy it for a trip but couldn't live there. I would miss the Arts Centre in Melbs too much. These complaints seem no different to what you'd get if you polled a lot of folk in the western suburbs of Melbourne, I dare say...

CeltInCaulfield Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 To be honest, a lot of this can be seen anywhere. It seems symptomatic of people who don't have the gumption and get-go to change their own circumstances. Haters' gonna hate, as I believe the young people are apt to say, nowadays?

starlight7 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Sad really. I have never liked Perth, I think it is bland and boring but find the comments about racism and rudeness hard to believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were having a conversation about racism the other day with my son and his girlfriend who is Australian born (her dad is Portuguese decent born in Angola) and hubby and I felt we had witnessed more racism in UK than we have here in Perth.

starlight7 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Good to hear. I have never heard/seen any racism over in Perth, either. Or in Melbourne come to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I thought the majority of the comments crap. Though there is a "but". I do think racism is a major issue. As some of you know, my wife is from Peru. In Perth there is a small very friendly Peruvian community. A few years ago, everyone got together to celebrate Peruvian Independence Day with a bbq and picnic on the river. We had Peru and Australian flags intertwined. A good family day out. Or would have been except for the abuse and passerby cars throwing things. Oh, and WA Police, a message to you. You are a racist bunch of scum with the combined IQ of a fish (they turned up and effectively said it was our fault for not being White) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you took it further if they told you it was your fault for not being white an put in a compliant against the individual officers.

Even here in Devonport where there are Indian, Chinese and people from African countries plus Moslems, there doesn't seem to be racism. I'm pretty sure there will be a percentage of racist people here as there is anywhere else but at least they leave the migrants in peace to live their own lives.

starlight7 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 One good thing about political correctness ( possibly the only one) is that people a now think twice before they come out with vile racist comments and actions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
