This Jimmy Barnes autobiography is horrendous. The Scottish immigrants clearly brought their problems with them and their lives were ruled by excess drinking and fighting, interspersed with maudlin sentimentality along the lines of 'It was better in Scotland'. And their kids were worse. The middle chapters of the book are a litany of the appalling gang fights around the Elizabeth area. It was nothing less than urban terrorism.
Robert Menzies obviously made a mistake in allowing these people into Australia. I wonder why our current Immigration Minister hasn't commented on it.
Weren't we also Scottish immigrants??? Should we have been banned??
