Then you get the Asians Chinese 5.5% Indians 3.1%, then there is what is described as Australian Aboridginal 2.9%and Unspecified at 4.7%. Australians 29.9%. The fastest growing ethnic group in Australia are Indians 1 in 5 new migrants are from India.
So John must be a lot of folk from the British Isles are not declaring as being Australians. Yes the UK is a melting pot for all races and looks as if Australia is the same. At a rate of 1 in 5 new migrants coming from India and entering Australia it will not be long before long that Gupta will be running the place, not to fear GUPTA apparently means Guardian or protector so you should be in good hands. Always assuming once he gets his hands on the keys to Vault he does not say TaTa!!!!!
It would appear mr TATA already has a foot in the door.
India's top industrialist and philanthropist Ratan Tata has been appointed to the 'Order of Australia' for distinguished service to the Australia-India relationship, particularly to trade, investment, and philanthropy, Australia's Governor General has announced.
Why not they already own the UK so might as well take over another Colony
