Despite lockdown, I visit Bendigo at least once a week from London.

How? Thanks to You Tube, and the excellent train video of the journey to Bendigo from Melbourne, I am a regular visitor.

There are several kinds of migrants and refugees.

The majority of migrants are people, who are finding it hard to manage in their native countries.

They are trying to get in countries, where the living conditions are better.

Refugees are mostly people, who have been managing well, but forced to leave by radical racial, national, tribal, political or religious regimes.

Some migrants claim to be refugees, in order to gain public sympathy.

But some of them have large ethnic groups, which are putting political pressure on the government.

Will street names be altered as well?

Or people's surnames and color charts.

This rubbish has to stop.
