Australia hosts lots of foreign tourists

As do many other countries.
Lancelin is a beach side town 120km north of Perth.
Last census (2021) has the population at 746.
This number swells to about 2400 at the height of summer.
I was there yesterday and came across this signage in the public facility.

does that area have a lot of Asian Indians in the area?
 
In many parts of India and other Asian countries, people use squat toilets and clean themselves with water, often using a bidet or a shattaf hose, rather than relying solely on toilet paper.


  • Squat Toilets:
    Squat toilets, which are common in many parts of Asia, are designed for squatting rather than sitting.

We are in Oklahoma and budgets work just fine. I have one friend who ran screaming. Her choice was a cat box or 7/11. Guests do allow for paper usage.

Right now, I am in no mood for Tourists, I find them disrespectful and ill-mannered.

Eg: Sam Jones stealing a baby wombat away from its mother.
Seriously, she should have been deported immediately, but no, the Idiot in power gets on live TV and invites her to hijack a Crocodile.
FFS, he should have made an example of her by cancelling her visa and putting her on the watch list of people not allowed to enter Australia, and deporting her sorry @$$.

Absolutely. A self-centred influencer. She should be shamed. I thought he was mocking her with the hijacking of a croc.

A US hunting influencer who caused outrage in Australia after grabbing a baby wombat from its mother has left the country after the home affairs minister, Tony Burke, said immigration authorities were checking if she had breached the conditions of her visa.

A government source told the Guardian that Montana-based Sam Jones left the country on Friday morning.


Burke, who is also the immigration minister, said on Thursday that he couldn’t “wait to see the back of this individual” and authorities were “working through the conditions” on Jones’s visa to determine “whether immigration law has been breached”.


That review was still ongoing when Jones made the decision herself to leave the country, the Guardian understands.

Burke said on Friday: “There has never been a better day to be a baby wombat in Australia.”

Jones had shared footage on Instagram of herself approaching and then grabbing the wombat joey as it walked with its mother at an unknown location.

My big sister and brother in law were in Australia for the 1996 tennis championships won by Becker and Seles. They met delightful friendly people, had a blast, loving every minute of every hour of every day and hated to leave. They planned to go back but never did, opting for the Paris event instead.

I’m 100% with you on that @Tish I was as mad as hell watching :mad::mad: her running down the road swinging the poor baby wombat …with its mother “ crying“ as it ran after its little one.

We've got wombats where I live

We have them here, too. I am still livid; it will take a long time to get the images of its poor mother running behind her out of my head! And the freaking accuses she put forth, that drove me insane.

That is exactly what has me so livid, they are checking to see if she has breached!
There is already a Law in place for Animal smuggling; charge her with that!!!

Albanese is a Freaking unaware idiot sure you would say something like that, after a man was caught on tape stealing a baby crocodile from Darwin Zoo.

WTF is wrong with that man?

my daughter visited Queensland Australia, after she and her then partner were invited to give a talk on dog training.... and while there they visited some animal sanctuaries, and some dog rescue centres... they loved it.... they were entirely impressed by Australians with the care of wild anmals while they were there.

Excuse the quality of the photos they were taken about 10 years ago...on a phone
