I thought Perth was better than this. I have always been proud that Perth is more welcoming to everyone than the other capitals. This is a bit of an embarrassment.

Really? Thats interesting. I've never thought about Perth being particularly welcoming. I've always thought, and also been told, about our insularity; the difficulty people who move here have with even making friends with Perthians.
It is an embarrassment.
Yes difficulty making friends but we don't have the segregated races. The stabbings etc. We just don't like making new friends no matter where they are from, north or south of the river :)
