Can they have a right to place pressure on our government to take action against you if they dont happent to agree with your viewpoint or do you think Australians opinions are somehow superior to theirs?Dan Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/21680-van-nguyen/page/9/#findComment-321506 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look at the stats. Poverty , crime, low standard of living (more crime) or the unfortunate ones. death penalty, etc.etc. Is this really the free and equitable Australia that we want?
