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.

There was also a lovely letter in today's West Australian for a Richard Charlesworth (I think he is Rick Charlesworth the ex hockey player and coach) offering to personally sponsor and assist a refugee family and challenging others to do the same.


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.

Dont think Barnett is responsible for that Debra .... he prefers to have sprinklers turned on homeless people who were sleeping in the street in Perth

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
