He served in the ADF, he is most likely a citizen. It is a requirement to obtain citizenship as soon as you are eligible (90 days service).

Australia makes people racist? I migrated here, am I now racist too? I find the casual racism disgusting, so am I a woke racist migrant?
Nigel No Mates (@nigelnomates.bsky.social) reply parent
Do we have a little factory that turns out fuckhead racists? I think they’re made everywhere.
Nigel No Mates (@nigelnomates.bsky.social) reply parent
Unfortunately he will have Australian citizenship since he served in the ADF for 2 years. I’d happily put him on a plane back to NZ though.

This is a Labor and CLP issue, both have been in power during this farce. I think this could have an impact on the next election, if one party can put their adult pants on.
Nigel No Mates (@nigelnomates.bsky.social) reply parent
He managed 2 years in the Australian army. He clearly lacked any personal qualities to serve beyond initial training. He likely got a few sessions of ‘contact counselling’ before deciding on a career change.

You don't read very well do you? I said they are asylum seekers until the process is completed. If not granted asylum, they are deported. If asylum granted, they stay. The delays in processing are a funding problem, not the asylum seeker's problem.

I do give a fuck about British homeless people, which is why British people need to have a law enacted that requires councils to house the homeless. You haven't bothered up until now, maybe get a grip.
Nigel No Mates (@nigelnomates.bsky.social) reply parent
They are all asylum seekers, they are not all granted asylum after being processed. Until the claim is denied, they are seeking asylum. You're not very good at this are you?
Nigel No Mates (@nigelnomates.bsky.social) reply parent
A story from the Mail is your 'gotcha'? That is one asylum claim, which appears to be dodgy, out of how many? Now do a story about the other 99% of claimants.

How would asylum seekers pay electricity, heating, food, council tax, mortgages when they aren't allowed to work? It's not rocket science...

Australia incresed it's permanent population by less than 1% through migration last year. Temporary student visa holders (temporary migrants) contributed $50Bn to the Australian economy last year. Australia doesn't have mass migration, it has mass hysteria stoked by extremists.
Nigel No Mates (@nigelnomates.bsky.social) reply parent
The government is legally required to house asylum seekers if they would otherwise be destitute. A large backlog of asylum applications and shortage of long-term housing options have led to a "much larger reliance" on hotels since 2020. www.bbc.com/news/article...
Nigel No Mates (@nigelnomates.bsky.social) reply parent
Asylum seekers have more rights to housing than British people because the law says so, if you don't like it, change the law, don't hate people fleeing war/oppression.
Nigel No Mates (@nigelnomates.bsky.social) reply parent
"At the same time, underfunded local councils, rising wealth inequalities and significant cuts to the social security regime are contributing to an unprecedented housing crisis."

You know it's not 4 star service when the Asylum seekers are in there? It's basically a room, with a bed. Asylum seekers are not permitted to work, they cannot support themselves, therefore the government has a duty of care. British people have many layers of support.

Nigel No Mates (@nigelnomates.bsky.social) reply parent
Every effort is made to house homeless British people too. If you want the government to house all homeless British people, are you prepared to pay higher taxes to enable it? Asylum seekers are not permitted to work, they cannot house themselves. British people are permitted to work.

Europe is Europe, the USA is part of America. The US military has bases in Europe, particularly in Germany, I used to travel to US bases to use the PX, sometimes we’d stay over in the on-base hotels, all as a foreign citizen.

Your implication was that generally, Canadian Forces are not permitted on US Bases, Harley and I have shown you that they are, along with most other allied forces. You can try and back track all you like, you still look a cunt.

Most Australians are not armed forces? No shit, most Americans are not armed forces either🤭. I know what restrictions apply, they’re the same ones that apply to US Forces overseas. I have visited foreign countries as a member of the military, I have also hosted US military in UK and Australia.
Nigel No Mates (@nigelnomates.bsky.social) reply parent
Generally, you do let Canadians, Australians and British service members on your bases. I spent 2 weeks on Fort Bliss, I have colleagues who spent lots of time at 29 Palms, others have been to Yakima. There is an Australian Insructor at USASMA and Australians regularly attend courses there.
