I think the higher proportion of South African Jews is that they were more recent immigrants, a lot of Ashkenazi Jewish Australians who live in Sydney are at least second generation immigrants now so the immigrant Jewish population really skews South African.

The thing is, though, that most of the emigrated South Africans did migrate because they didn't want to live in a place that allowed blacks to be in power. That's probably why so many of them came here in the first place.

There are a bunch of chill, awesome South Africans, but many of them are dickheads who fled because they wanted to keep being dirty racists.

Well yes obviously, hence 'more recent'. I thought it was pretty heavily implied.

Jesus Was First a Businessman

As footsteps approached, the twenty-eight year old man looked up from the cluttered
workbench. His dark beard and long hair were matted by perspiration mixed with
sawdust. Wet sweat rings outlined his armpits on his well-worn tunic. He laid the chisel
and mallet down and stood up, wiping his hands together.
“Shalom, may I help you?” he said.
“Shalom,” said the middle-aged man with ringlets in his gray beard. Deep furrows
etched his forehead. His off-white cloak and brown leather sandals were covered with
dust from the road that he had just traveled on.
“My wife says we need a new dining table. And you know how women are,
right?” the man said with a wink. “Some of our neighbors have recommended you and
your workmanship.” The man folded his arms across his barrel-shaped chest, readying
himself for whatever negotiations awaited him. Like most Galilean businessmen, he
wanted the best deal.
The carpenter’s bronze-colored face blushed slightly at the compliment. There
was a genuine humility about him that people liked. He grinned at the man.
“That’s nice of your friends. However, to be completely honest, whatever skills I
may possess are the result of being taught by the best carpenter in all of Galilee – Joseph,
my dad.”
“Oh yes, I should have known,” the man said without moving his arms from their
set position on his chest. “You’re the son of Joseph, huh? Who hasn’t heard of his
woodworking skills?”
Then, in a loud whisper, he leaned forward and asked, “What do you think the
table will cost me? And remember I have three sons and their families living with me. Oy
vey! You can’t believe how much they eat?”
The young carpenter nodded. "Hmm! Let me think for a few minutes.”
The carpenter looked around the shop. He turned and walked to the back of the
room, pulling out some boards from a large pile and checking each of them. After a few
minutes, he nodded to himself as if he had it all figured out. Then, he returned to the man.
“If you want the table made out of fir, it will cost fifteen shekels. Oak will be five
shekels more. The choice is up to you,” the carpenter said with his eyebrows arched in
anticipation of a sharp response from the buyer.
The man unfolded his arms. His shocked expression looked as though a sharp
sword had pierced his heart. He gasped, and pounded his chest with both fists. “Your
price is much higher than I could have ever imagined. Fifteen shekels – how outrageous!
I just can’t believe it!”
He turned around and began stomping away. Before he reached the shop’s
entrance, he stopped and looked back. “I’m curious. Do you offer discounts to your more
impoverished buyers – people like me?”
The carpenter sighed. “Okay. Let me think,” he said, rubbing his jaw with his
hand. “If you pay cash today, I can do it for thirteen shekels. The table will be done in
two weeks.”
The man stood like a statue. “I had a price more like eleven shekels in mind,” the
man said in a clipped voice. Then he added, “And not one shekel more.”
The carpenter shrugged his shoulders and raised his arms in surrender. “Okay,
you win,” he said, shaking his head slowly back and forth. “I have some expenses coming
up in a few days. This is my final offer: twelve shekels and it will be ready for you in ten
days. Take it or leave it.”
The man walked toward the carpenter. “Though eleven shekels is a very fair
price, I’m going to give in and pay your outrageous price of twelve shekels.”
The buyer stretched his right hand out and shook the hand of the young carpenter
named Jesus.[1] As he did, he felt the calluses and strength in his hand.

quote:

Australia’s political elite are among the country’s most enthusiastic real estate investors, with records showing one freeholding Nationals member owns 50 properties and another holds 17.

Federal politicians on average own 2.5 properties each, or an estimated $300 million worth of land holdings, analysis of their interests shows.

Landed Nationals senator Barry O’Sullivan is Canberra’s biggest property owner, with a 50-strong investment portfolio. He rubs shoulders with Nationals property baron David Gillespie, who owns 17 holdings.

Billionaire Clive Palmer is also high on the landowner list, with 12 properties to his name, the breakdown of politicians' interests by property authors Lindsay David, Paul Egan and Philip Soos shows.

Independent South Australian senator Nick Xenophon maintains an impressive portfolio of eight investment properties, and high-profile Liberal Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull owns a similar number.

Only 13, or 6 per cent, of Parliament’s 226 members own no real estate.

The analysis comes as Australia’s home values reach new heights, with the latest data showing prices rising again in Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra.

Values in Sydney grew over the year to July by 14.8 per cent, while Melbourne’s rose 11 per cent, RP Data figures show.

The combination of high property prices and lack of political action to make housing more affordable prompted the authors of the analysis to ask: “Are the property holdings of our federal politicians negatively influencing policy and causing them to ignore evidence?”

‘‘The trends in the data suggest a sizeable majority of federal politicians have a vested interest in maintaining high housing prices,’’ the authors said.

The analysis shows the top 10 landholders in Parliament own 92 properties. Between them federal politicians own 563 properties.

String the fuckers up.

I noticed the Islamic flag being flown at Monash Uni today
Not at the religious centre, but at the main entrance.

I find it incredibly offensive that Islamists demand we don't preach our beliefs, eat pork etc, around then, yet it is perfectly fine for them to fly their flag at a leading university, here in AUSTRALIA, where the majority of the student body is not even Islamic.

If I put up a cross outside their place of study, it would be a national incident.

Also whitey booby-trapped the government on their way out by forcing them to pay back the apartheid debt and give lifelong pensions to all the racist civil servants who got kicked out. Their debt obligations forced them to privatise all their poo poo, selling public companies back to the white robber barons. They also got sucked in the World Bank/IMF/USA neoliberal dogma and went full Thatcherite.
