Well I can see you are off to a great start with this thread - insults, baiting and racial comments abound. They have been removed. This thread is on its way to being locked too if you don't start behaving yourselves.

Baiting?

I think it's a pretty safe bet that any thread started by AJ with the word "Australia" in the title is intended as chum thrown out on the water to attract the sharks

Guess what the CEO's background was? I am impressed.

I worked for this guy so maybe that is why he said those comments.

He is right about immigration policies. We don't want our country to become like the US.

What he failed to mention is that the UK and Canada have both replicated this immigration system.

He was born in Wyoming.

Unless you're getting racial with us again, no say it ain't so.

Maybe he got into college using affirmative action too.

Maybe he pushed little ####### Cheney off the swings back in 1955.

What does any of this have to do with the fact that a corporate CEO (the kind of person you respect, not some academic) thinks Australia is backward and racist?
