Women and girls in burqas and niqabs in Australia? Vibrant diversity and our strength.

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.

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%

Now-ish, just so. You've shown that Afghan unemployment correlates with the general population, you silly old thing, but I'm curious.

What are the stats on Danish housewives and retirees?

Over to you.

There's not much of a call for camaleers these days and Afghans being Muslims they really struggle trying to pick up new skills, Afghan women are very rarely allowed out of the house and when they are job opportunities are limited because nobody employs people wearing Burkas.

Traditional Australian culture has been to work hard and play hard, Afghans don't work and just pray all the time so they are total cultural misfits.

Only if you use Aboriginal magic or Pakistani maths. 51 and 65 percent participation rates do nor correlate any more than 16 and 5.7 percent unamployment rated for Afghans an all others, respectively.

Are Afghans a good cultural fit?

In a 2013 documentary by Vice Media titled This Is What Winning Looks Like, British independent film-maker Ben Anderson describes the systematic kidnapping, sexual enslavement and murder of young men and boys by local security forces in the Afghan city of Sangin. The film depicts several scenes of Anderson along with American military personnel describing how difficult it is to work with the Afghan police considering the blatant molestation and rape of local youth. The documentary also contains footage of an American military advisor confronting the then-acting police chief on the abuse after a young boy is shot in the leg after trying to escape a police barracks. When the Marine suggests that the barracks be searched for children, and that any policeman found to be engaged in pedophilia be arrested and jailed, the high-ranking officer insists what occurs between the security forces and the boys is consensual, saying "[the boys] like being there and giving their asses at night". He went on to claim that this practice was historic and necessary, rhetorically asking: "If [my commanders] don't bugger the asses of those boys, what should they bugger? The pussies of their own grandmothers?"[29]

Stay with the Afghans, paki.

The Brits, Danes, Swedes, Norwegians, Dutch, French, Germans are no burden on anyone. They brought you culture, refinement, civilisation, language, philosophy, literature, music - the world. Your response?
Resentment.

What has Pakistan EVER done for us, I ask you.

Yeah. And when it was up to them, after 20 years, to defend their country, they folded and ran.

They did not deserve the 20 years of help.

No more Afghan 'refugees'. Army translators and their families, yes. The rest are chancers, keep them out.
