Camden Australia: A Vote for Bigotry


   
           
 By Ghali Hassan:        
Can you imagine the outcry if an Australian city council rejected a proposal to build a Jewish school?You don't need to imagine. Anyone who dares to utter a single word against it will be labelled "anti-Semitic".


The voice of a migrant

Language a huge problem for migrants.

Few months before I was in Sydney and I asked an old woman for a street. She said me no speak English, Italian. When I said her that I am Greek, Greco, she smiled and said me YOU BROTHER!! She was very good person but her English was extremely bad, although she had many years in Australia. She lived in an area with many Italian migrants.


Can we accept saria law in Australia?

In Greece there is a district, Thrake, where the Muslim religious leaders decide for divorced, family properties, etc. but there are some limits.

In Canada, many European Countries and sooner or later in Australia we will have this problem.

Can we accept saria law in Australia?

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!! We can not accept any law that narrows, or even worst violates the basic human rights.


For migrant's benefits

I tried to find in Adelaide or even in Australia a migrant's organization to become member of it but I can not find.

I want to find an organization for migrants, open to all Australians, without  racial, religious or political opinion limits.

I want to find an organization for migrants with full respect to democratic principles and values, with elected bodies in local and national level.

I want to find a live, active, responsible  organization for migrants that is usefull not only for the migrants but for all australians


Adelaide - Nicosia 100 days for a fax!!

 I tried hard to bring my children in Adelaide from Cyprus. I went to the office in Adelaide for an authorization to renew my children's passports. Do not worry the form will be there tomorrow, in two weeks your children will be in Adelaide. One week later the form did not transfer to Nicosia, one month later the form did not transfer to Nicosia, Three months later the form did not transfer to Nicosia.
