Monday, November 20, 2006 Tonga and Solomon Islands precedent setting, a Logan City view. Current mood: bitchy Category: Life

When we realise the present crises that has befallen the South Pacifc region the not too distant ideological impact are being felt locally. Thus far, the localised pluralised Australian society has tolerated racial plurality except the underlying simmerings of racial intolerance is being felt locally. In my preceeding blog I have elucidated the political economic ideological underpinnings as to the raison de tre of the Pacific Island Nations recalcitrancy and have alluded to political universalised ideological timeless truths which can be derived throughout epistemological ideological thought processes. The impending ominious signs and actions of rightwing reactionary xenophobia is indicative of a global phenomena explicated further in my tagata pasifika webpage on http://groups.myspace.com/tagatapasifika. The local situation, in the Logan City area, presents a unique but not an atypical blend of being "tarred by the same brush", whereby Samoans, Tongans, Maori and other Polynesian groups are being considered in the same light as the Tongans and so the "local chidren" and facile non-Polynesian racial groups have stigmatised Tongans as well as Samoans generally as "TROUBLE MAKERS". Children, living locally, would yell jeering remarks from vehicles, or walking past my house, some giving hand gestures from cars as I am cycling along, etc.

 As a cyclist, on my Specialized roadbike, I have heard and seen people in cars, etc, annoyingly would get in my way as I would cycle alongside their vehicles especially approaching traffic lights. I have sharp debris strewn over the road in front of me as I ride, some of the debris are deliberately placed there for accidents to happen. So far, I have had a dozen or so punctures on my bike in just the past three days of riding in and around Brisbane. I am a very experienced bike rider and I have not had so many punctures on the road as I have recently.

I was considering buying a car today at a car dealership in Compton road, Underwood, Auto Outlet Centre, and I was being attended by a Mr. Mark without a surname. The Car dealer offered me a bargain price for a used car worth $4,999, for a finance package of $100 per week, I earn the dole, and so I can not afford the repayment schedule. So, I can't drive in Queensland because I can't afford a car. So it is back to catching the Yellow cabs after doing my shopping from Marsden, and I am perpetually insulted through unemployment in Queensland.

I am single, and I have lived in Queensland for over twenty five years. I have a University of Queensland Bacholar of Arts degree, majoring in government, now re-named politics. I am single and I am still a New Zealand citizen and I have had a very raw deal here in Queensland.

I am a Samoan and I have earned a notorious reputation for being a brown man. I used to own a car once and I have been driving around Queensland for years. I have not had a car for over a year now. 

I do ironman triathlons and I can't afford to compete because at present they the bikeshops, Triathlon Queensland, and the racist AMS club, which I have been ousted from because I accused them of racism, how ironic, but, these organisations would charge me an arm and a leg for registration and equipment. (Darkman's tax)

As I have already mentioned, I have a university degree, from the University of Queensland, and I am not considered a viable person to employ. I train everyday and swim extensively and run a lot of kilometres as part of my ironman training and still no one wants to employ me in Queensland. I used to be a rugby player but I am too old now, being 38 years old.

Now, when I'm out on the road, on my bike, I am taunted and jeered by people because they think that I am a Tongan trying to kill Australian soldiers in Nukualofa, Tonga. At least this is what I think is happening to me.

Still, I endure and I still train regardless of the racism, classism and perpetual childish antics by the ochlocracy. I live alone, with only my sister to offset my financial burden with her assisting me with payments. My sister is a university student and but unfortunatley she earns little more than the dole.

I have no other siblings. My late mother was a naturalised Australian before she passed away and that is my lot.

The rest is blamed purely upon the inimical locals with xenophobic elements by White Australians, and the rest. The White Knights, in particular, is a favourite enemy of mine which seem to be the root cause of my oppression. The QPS, and I suspect Australian soldiers, are a particular case in point. This is why I can never be recruited by these people simply because there is an element of truth in the "BASTARDISATION" reality of my treatment.

It is the 'inadequate white men' (or is it father's) and their revenge against us! I suppose???
