What's with the English test requirement for immigration/permanent residence in Australia? That's like saying we will only take people from the USA or UK -- doesn't matter what a dumb-fuck you are, as long as you speak decent English. It's like we're back in the dumbass White Australia days.
As a result, many people (foreigners) who are busting their arses for a living in Australia, paying their taxes, contributing to society, adding to Australian growth, are denied permanent residence because their English is not up to scratch -- in itself an accident of where they were born. The irony is that their English, basic as it is, is probably of a better standard than those of bogan dole-bludgers (who the fuck are youse looking at?). I don't know about you, but I'd swap a hard-working non-English speaking contributor to society for a dole-bludging bogan any day.

Where do I start... Driving in the City with idiots
For my first rant, I'd like to rage about the idiots who inhabit the roads. Drivers, cabbies, pedestrians, cyclists, bus drivers, and any other idiot I've missed.
Drivers who don't signal they're going to turn right at traffic lights. So I cruise up behind them, thinking they're going where I'm going, i.e., straight ahead. Then the traffic light turns green, and the moron decides to then signal that they are going to turn right. But guess what, dickweed? Now you've got me and a bunch of other cars stuck behind you because you failed to signal your intentions in the first place -- had we known that you were going to turn, we would have gone onto another lane, not wait behind you. So I waste another few minutes of my life sitting on your arse while you wait to turn right, you inconsiderate dick.
Cabbies and bus drivers who think they can stop wherever the fuck they want. Bus drivers, I've got a bit more patience with, I mean they are driving the huge monsters with predetermined areas where they have to pull over. It's when they block off two lanes of traffic because of their bad pull-over skills, it really shits me. Seriously, you're supposed to be a public service, act like it, instead of being a public nuisance.
