Close but the original American context goes back to Levittown, William Levitt essentially invented the suburb and it was exclusionary segregation from the start.

The builders or developers may start out with the intention of a high-value, white suburb but obviously can't turn away anyone with the money, and the local government and other structures negatively promote racism and white flight by seeing the area as having lost value or increase in crime, or too expensive to maintain and a dozen other excuses. The media are only value-adding to that perception.

It's because they're the kind of brittle-boned losers that have never tried Indian food and think Howard was good.

A QUEENSLAND senator says indigenous NRL star Johnathon Thurston is proof that racism doesn’t exist in Australia. “If only I could get him to run for a political party, he’d walk it in,” the Liberal National Party’s Ian Macdonald said. Senator Macdonald used the example of Thurston to question whether there was an ongoing need for a race discrimination commissioner. “I might live in a bubble perhaps, but I find it very difficult to find any but very rare cases of racism in Australia,” Senator Macdonald said during a committee hearing in Canberra today. “I mean in this building we have two senior ministers who … are clearly not white Australian male(s).”

Australia Post has opened a retail outlet that only sends mail to China. The concept store, located in the Sydney suburb of Chatswood, doesn’t provide any normal postal services like selling stamps or mailing parcels around the country. Instead, it sells health and beauty products that can only be shipped to China. According to Australia Post, the purpose of the store is to “test customer demand for selected products to be sent to China”. “This store is not a post office. It will sell a limited number of lines, such as health and beauty products, in conjunction with international freight options,” a spokesperson said. At this stage it’s just a pilot store and there are no plans to extend it to more than one location, but its very existence hints at the spending power that foreign Chinese shoppers wield in Australia. ... The only other people in the store were five men in suits who were discussing business-to-business and business-to-consumer markets in China and how to deal with Chinese customs checks. At one point, one of the men inquired about this reporter, who had been taking photos inside the store. After learning she works for a news organisation, the man walked away silently and rejoined the others who continued their discussions on the Chinese market. Australian baby formula is one of the most popular products for Chinese shoppers. In 2015, half of all Australian baby formula sold in supermarkets was being shipped to China, accounting for more than $US200 million in sales. The next year, supermarket shelves infamously ran dry of baby formula, and producers had to increase their production runs while stores grappled with limiting customers to a certain number of tins per purchase. Finding enough formula is still a problem for parents, and supermarket giant Coles recently moved its tins behind the counter in some of its locations – the same area where cigarettes are kept. Customers can now only buy two tins each. But formula is available at Australia Post’s concept store, and appears to be a major part of the store’s strategy. The baby food takes up twice as much space as that of other major product categories. Price vary widely compared to large supermarkets. A2 Platinum Stage 3 is $28 at Coles, but $30 at Australia Post. At $25, Aptamil Gold-Plus 2 is twenty cents more expensive than Coles and Woolworths. But Aptamil Toddler Gold+ 3, Aptamil Junior Gold+ 4 and a number of A2 products are cheaper at Australia Post. With some estimates that Daigou buy as much as 80 per cent to 90 per cent of infant formula sold in Australia, opening a shop and shipping center in Chatswood is a strategy that may well pay off for Australia Post.

I would blow Dane Cook posted:What's this MyHealthRecord thing? Is it a scam? It's not a scam, it is a Government program (though those aren't always mutually exclusive). The idea is to have an electronic health record that moves with you between the different arms of the health care sector. I work in medical research and I was comfortable to have my son be signed up for it. That said, three of my colleagues who also had children recently all declined to have their children signed up. It still has a long way to go before being really useful and it does give the patient control over who sees what about their medical history. It may be really useful if you have allergies to stuff or conditions that medical professionals should be aware of.

The Refugee Council of Australia had earlier described the term as “offensive” and “unhelpful”. “This type of term doesn’t have any place in describing the western suburbs of Sydney,” said the Refugee Council’s policy officer, Shakufa Tahiri. “It’s an American term. It’s not relevant to western Sydney,” she said. Luke Foley is such a failure in every respect that I refuse to even admit to pinch nose down the ticket voting for him because it's a choice between tearing down stadiums vs the reason greyhound racing is legal.
