Thread: Housing in Western Sydney

Full of scumbag public housing tenants with armies of unsupervised outlaw kids. The Willmott bottle shop was held up three times in one day!!! The proprietor was understandably getting a bit fed up with this. He had been held up or broken into on a number of other occasions. Third time lucky and the proprietor let the dusky skinned perp have it with a shotgun and killed him. Caused a minor riot and the proprietor was accused by all and sundry in the do good touchy feely industry of being racist. They must think it is OK to shoot white crims but not black ones.

Most of the owner occupiers moved over the years and Willmott is now mostly private renters full of no-hopers.

Plenty of suburbs like that around Australia. They think they are a law unto themselves. Funny thing is we go in to deal with a noise complaint because they are all getting ****ed and yelling. Not being racist but when a group of aboriginal persons get together the concept of inside voice goes out the many open windows. But when we get there, theirs will be the only house in the street, that at 3 in the morning will be making lots of noise but they genuinely think they are being picked on because they are black, Their skin colour has nothing to do with it. They, not all, are also the most racist people I have ever come across. I get called a captain cook mother ****er and god knows what else but thats ok.

These are the suburbs I wish to stay well clear of.

Anyone from the Cross in the '80s will recall the almost nightly brawls in the middle of Bayswater Rd between the aboriginals at the Mansions hotel and the islanders at the Taulofa Club (forgive spelling) across the road.

Its ridiculous really. These are the terms that the government adopts as politically correct. Islander, Torres Straigh Islander, Aboriginal etc etc
