he can't be Australian with a name like that.
We should export him or call him bruce.

Can you do a vaguely threatening-sounding South African accent? You can probably make Deputy Department Secretary if you have one of those. No higher than that of course, you're female.

The management denies any implication that the white south african refugees from a black south africa has any hand, foot or boot in the making of Australias 'not one of us' immigration policy.

[borealis]

I searched for the meaning of Quaedvlieg. "Vlieg" means "housefly" in Dutch. No language admits to the word "quaed", not even Latin.

[Timewave]

Hey, to be honest, we have a lot of black Africans in out suburb.
So, someone in immigration is getting it right.

I think I could strive to be the exec asst to the Dep Sec

I am aware of my limitations and inherent weaknesses

BTW when living over there I found poms often thought a SA accent was possibly Australian but we already knew what they were like

John Bellenden Ker's A supplement to the two volumes of the second edition of The essay on the archaeology of our popular phrases, terms, and nursery rhymes (James Ridgway, London, 1840) mentions the Dutch words 'quaed' and 'qwaed' and says its meaning is 'bad'.

As for the the Border Force Commissioner's comment that its activities are aimed to keep Australia safe, reminds me of (Godwin alert) the government of another nation. Indeed, what are the establishments such as the Nauru "detention" facility, if not concentration camps? The racism is betrayed by the fact that not a single one of the 50,000 foreign Caucasians who are illegally in Australia at any one time have ever been sent to any of them. The White Australia Policy has been revived with a vengeance, and it is a bipartisan affair because it is so popular with the average Australian mug punter.

ETA: Useful page regarding the global distribution of people named bad fly here. It's definitely Dutch in origin. I am surprised that not a single person by that name can be found living in South Africa. Of course it's possible that all 26 people with that name in Australia have migrated from there when apartheid was abolished, and they needed to find a new home with racist policies.

The worst part is, I can sympathise with them.
The average white australian punter who grew up in a country that was mostly white english origine Australians unless you went to your greek/italian/chinese fish an' chip shop, just wants the country we grew up in to stay the same.
To raise their kids in the same culture they grew up in.

It takes a conscious effort and good mental balance to understand that the fairy tale we grew up in was never going to last and that now australia will gradually become asian and middle eastern and indian.

Of course most people don't have good mental balance. Then you have an australian government run by white catholics that believes it can keep australia whte and christain.

add into the mix that muslems are being stinking evil slimmy psychopaths in the middle east with control of countries.

Can definitely understand where they are coming from without agreeing with them or supporting them.

For the sake of balance let's look at Labor party Prime Ministers in regard to refugees.

Anyway Minister Dutton is quite cross that another ludicrous and cruel plan has unexpectedly come apart at the seams.
