Quote:More than 120 years ago, thousands of camel drivers from Afghanistan and the provinces of modern day Pakistan and India left their homes and families for the unknown shores of Australia.
Wearing turbans and carrying their Korans, the men were known as cameleers, Afghans, or Ghans.
Their job was to lead camel trains through outback Australia, transporting supplies from cities to regional towns, inland mines, and stations.
They were also guides on expeditions, located water sources, and ensured a safe journey for travellers.
Without their contribution, outback communities would not have been able to survive.  https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-02-02/descendents-remember-australias-cameleers... They were not 'refugees' who ran away and abandon their country to a small bunch of gruesome fanatics, like their compatriots are doing nowadays. They came, they all worked and contributed. Most went back home. Now(ish)? In the 2016 census in Victoria Afghans had a 51 % workforce participation rate and 16 % of that low participation was unemployed. Total Victorian participation rate was 65%, unemployment rate 5.7% Cherry picking bullshit that is not supported in fact....You supply no links to your irrelevant comments and ignore the context of my comment completely....You ignore the substance of the people to support your ignorance and bigotry!!! Quote:Afghanistan is one of Australia’s largest sources of permanent migrants. The latest Census in 2016 recorded almost 70,000 people whose fathers were born in Afghanistan. Of these, 40,383 were male and 29,536 were female. This includes 14,744 Australian-born Afghans, which constitutes 21.1% of the Afghan community in Australia.
The 2016 distribution by state and territory showed Victoria had the largest number of Afghan Australians (27,144), followed by New South Wales (19,804), South Australia (8,980), Western Australia (7,314) and Queensland (5,212).
The median age of people in Australia who were born in Afghanistan was 31 years.The most common religion amongst Afghan-born Australians was Islam (91.2%), followed by no religion (3.4%).
Of the population born in Afghanistan who live in Australia, 33.0% were attending an educational institution. There were 3.7% in primary school, 7.4% in secondary school and 13.3% in a tertiary or technical institution. 21.6% reported having completed Year 12 as their highest level of educational attainment, 5.6% had completed an Advanced Diploma or Diploma and 8.9% had completed Bachelor Degree level and above.
Afghans are engaged in a wide range of occupations, they work as technicians and trades workers, labourers, machinery operators and drivers, community and personal service workers and professionals.
Afghans have lived and worked in Australia for over 150 years, and the Afghan community continues to make significant economic and social contributions to Australian society today. You are full of crap ya dickhead!!!  https://www.canberra.mfa.af/bilateral-relationship/afghanistan-in-australia.html Page 3, Insp. Ditz.
