    They might not make the same jobs but there are other jobs they can get with the right mindset. They can get off their arse and move to where there are jobs going begging, knock on doors, ask in pubs, put ads on papers, pick up hand piece if necessary. They is always some-one looking for decent workers. I don't know why any-one would stay in ****** houso units in a ****** city in land where their is opportunity for anybody prepared to go after it, other than their mindset.

    Some of my staff are Filipiono. Great workers, genuinely caring of others. I agree with what you're saying.

    I have noticed that some clients do treat them slightly differently though. Certainly not all clients and it is usually very hard to spot, bit it is there and it is a disadvantage for them.

    Your own comment that customers preferred the attitude of Filipinos to that of Indians kind of proves my point. Overall I don't believe that Australians are racist and as a society I think we try hard to avoid it, but we still don't treat everyone 100% equally.
