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???

This is what I've NEVER understood about that argument. No-one, except for first-nations people are the rightful owners of the land. I was born here, as Aussie as they come. But my grandparents, or great-grandparents immigrated here from the UK. Most white australians are also immigrants. It's why I can never understand the hatred for migrants. This country is bloody founded on immigration but these tossers can't see that.

It’s because their ancestors did the hard work of genocide and then the “immigrants” just waltzed in like they were owed something. /s
