I'm not saying that it should be restricted to Lebanese, but to people of all races who are accused of exhibiting gang behaviour and aggression.
Of course, but let's just start with the most likely targets.
Put it this way: Why do Aboriginal people treat public housing so poorly? Because they're given it right off the bat. They don't have a sense of ownership of the houses. There should be some sort of employment scheme where they can work for it. Anyway, back to my point...
Why do kids graffiti walls? Do they graffiti their walls at home? No, they don't respect other people's property.
Why does my sister throw her ciggie butts in the garden? Because she doesn't live here.
Why does an animal shit in one corner of a field and sleep in the other? Because they don't want to sleep in their own shit.
There's such a problem with foreigners and crime because they don't feel like they're sleeping in their own shit when they bash and rape a kid. They have no sense of ownership and hence responsibility. Furthermore, coming from a culture where a lady is expected to walk around with a man, you find that these people treat this place like home.
I'll be frank and say that I live here and not Lebanon because I think Australia is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. Conversely, I would feel unsafe there.
Yes, I agree that
everyone should be told to look after this place (yes, I'm actually a facist...), but I think that a foreigner should be sent packing when they commit a crime, even Australian foreigners. Let Lebanon deal with their version of rehabilitation.
Then again, it's such an impractical suggestion. Australian doesn't = white, so should white Ausralians be sent back to Britain...?
