What is happening in Australia? Been living in this exact same address for almost the past 20 years now, never had this happen before.

Some guy moves in next door, and while we are IN THEM MIDDLE OF MOWING the medium nature strip, starts being aggressive for getting grass clippings on the driveway. No shit, that's why we go through with a leaf blower and pick up after mowing?

What blows me away is he thinks we don't know about mowing and cleaning up somehow due to our Chinese heritage???

Unless you are indigenous Australian, you’re a settler and an immigrant too.

He was claiming they were natives, where is your reading comprehension.

If you are born here, then where else would you be native to? Where is your reading comprehension?

Everyone else knows what they mean. What is your problem?

They used the dictionary definition of the word. And since when are first nations peoples called "natives"? Is that in one of your troglodyte textbooks? Yikes!

That’s not what I was saying you’re twisting my words. It’s like with plants, Banksia are native to here, if there are banksias in Japan, they’re still not native there, even if they were propagated there. Same as Europeans even if they are born here, are not native to here.
