I'm not a fan of our current State Government, but Ido believe in giving credit where credit is due and I was delighted to see the above headline in today's paper.It's not a huge offer, but it's positive, it's proactive and it makes me feel proud to be a Waussie.

How would he feel about sponsoring a group of young agressive men?
The offer was to sponsor a refugee FAMILY....
Yes I know. geez
how many families would consist of a group of aggressive young men?
Well quite a lot judging by the sheer amount of young men on the move calling themselves Syrian refugees.
But the point I was trying to make is: The ppl of Europe that are being forced into taking in the overwhelming amount of refugees in ( 75% of which are young men) don't have the luxury of choice as to whether they'll sponsor families or groups of agressive young men. They just have to cop it.

obviously, I was talking about the Vic premier looking at housing refugees at Point Cook ( Point Cook is in Vic) and also handing over that other housing to the homeless
