    Flights to Australia for just £10 and how to get your hands on them

    Many adults in the UK will be able to fly to and from Adelaide from as little as £10 as part of a new campaign to boost tourism following the pandemic.

    The South Australian Tourism Commission has launched the campaign in a bid to entice younger people to visit the region on working holiday visas to help fill employment gaps and boost tourism. Jobs are available in hospitality, on farms and in outback stations, according to Travel Weekly.
    South Australian Minister for Tourism Zoe Bettison said: “South Australia is welcoming the return of working holidaymakers – it’s a real win-win for young people eager to travel and work abroad, and for our local tourism industry. Our tourism operators have missed having international visitors on their tours and experiences and booking up accommodation, and they’ve also missed the backpacker workforce and the vibrancy they bring.

    “These backpackers foster a love for our state and our country which often inspires them to return later in life. Whether it’s in our bars, restaurants, wineries and hotels, or on our outback stations and farms, there are so many ways that British and Irish citizens can work in Adelaide and in regional South Australia, helping to not only fill roles but provide an economic and cultural exchange benefit which advantages both sides of the globe."
    To be eligible for the flights, travellers must be aged between 18 and 30 in the UK or 18 and 35 in Ireland, prove they have a working holiday visa and be able to travel to Adelaide before September 30, 2022. They must also must purchase a holiday starter pack with Trailfinders from £162, which includes a three-night stay in a hostel, vouchers, and information on how to set up a bank account and find a job.
    Shalom

    Half a brain would be a good start.

    Were you one of the original ten pound poms? Right age group and history. Who wouldn’t want to escape Brum in those days?

    Yep, towards the tail end actually. My family moved to Oz 1969, when I was nine. From Swindon, not brum where I was born.

    We've had a violent carjacking and a person stabbed to death by a Sudanese gang in public in (sleepy old) Adelaide by these south Sudanese in the last two days willy. Call it racist if you want, but no we do not want scum migrants like that. Pommy backpackers most welcome.

    There is a lot more to this South Sudanese/ Somalian crime wave than that, tool. If they can't start sorting out their problems within their own community, they are not welcome here. Most aussies will tell you that.

    If you deny that there is an inordinate amount of crime coming from the Somalian/ Sth Sudanese community- in particular violent crime, it is you that are being selectively racist. Or perhaps just proceeding from a position of ignorance, because neither you or willy live here. The epicentre of this was Melbourne, but one rather parochial concern is that now it has spread to Adelaide too.

    To the 110,000 Somalian UK citizens looks a hell of a good deal so chances are you will have many more than you have now.

    Fcuking tabloid rag and TalkBack radio twaddle

    There are more than enough fully researched articles out there proving how absurd these claims are

    But still there are large amounts of people who love to be treated like fools because it makes them believe they are not the lowest lifeform

    Soon we will have a major influx from PNG and Solomon's over to pick our fruit and vegetables and then the blue rinse set will have another set of coloured people to rage at.

    Sorry, but I watch the nightly News- this is not fabrication, or racist bollocks. We are not talking major organised crime syndicates here, rather youth gangs. I really hope they can address the situation within their own community, because you know the deal- it stokes racism among the broader community.

    Your country allowed them in and are failing to police them adequately.
    Just one more area where western standards and beliefs are far more open than Russia or China. You can agree or disagree, but either way, Russia will just carry on ignoring you and solving similar issues with a big stick. They just don’t tell anyone about it.

    Yes there is youth crime and "gangs" , but singling out any variety of coloured people is only to fool the fools , as there is no quantifiable evidence to show that it is true.

    Fcukwit politicians love to Stoke the outrage as then people forget about the corruption and focus on a non issue

    Youth gang violence in Adelaide's northern and western suburbs prompts launch of SA Police taskforce


    10/2/22

    South Australian police have laid more than 120 charges against "several" people following the launch of a special task force aimed at curbing so-called youth gangs.

    Operation Meld was launched last July, after a spate of violent brawls and crimes in Adelaide's northern and western suburbs.

    Assistant Police Commissioner Scott Duval said the offending involved teenagers from Adelaide's Sudanese community.

    "We've had people stabbed, we've had large fights… where weapons, including knives, have been taken to those fights," he said.

    Assistant Commissioner Duval said the predominant violence was between two rival groups, comprising about 20 youths in total, but there had been fights involving up to 50 youths.

    "They've also been involved in offences of fraud… and involved in robberies where people were selling goods on social media platforms, and upon being met by members of the group they were being robbed."
    Four people are currently in custody due to Operation Meld.

    Taskforce 'not about ethnicity'

    Assistant Commissioner Duval stressed that the gangs made up a "very small" number of people from Adelaide's Sudanese community.

    "This is not about ethnicity. This operation was formed to deal with the serious criminality involved in the group," he said.

    "This is serious offending, and it's serious offending being committed by children."
    Police believe the groups comprise of about 20 youths aged between 16 and 18, with only three adult members.

    Assistant Commissioner Duval also said police had a great relationship with Adelaide's South Sudanese community, who shared their concerns.

    "We've worked very hard with the community, and they have been excellent coming on board and helping the police," he said.

    "We have had community forums, we've had regular meetings with families and very much families are very concerned about the offences that are being committed by family members."

    He said police were optimistic the youths could be rehabilitated, with the help of the community.

    Having admitted that your country imported violent criminals, you use a police drama to highlight the fact that voting is pointless for you personally?
