Last month, Tamworth (home of country music, land of the line dance) rejected a proposal for five Sudanese refugee families to settle in the area. After wide publicity and much condemnation, the issue is expected to be raised again at a council meeting tonight.
Maybe those present need to be reminded of the invitation expressed in the Australian National Anthem: "For those who've come across the seas, we've boundless plains to share". However, Tamworth Council may still be lustily singing the original words of the anthem: "For loyal sons beyond the seas, we've boundless plains to share", which presumably meant if you were male, white and British you were more than welcome.
It will be interesting to see if the Council overturns its previous resolution this evening. Good news for Tamworth women if it does - those Sudanese men are bloody gorgeous and the image of a long line of black boot-scooting cowboys is certainly worth mulling over for a minute or twenty.

hi rosie i agree totally with you about the 5 sudanese families.with tamworth about to be flooded by 50,000 c&w fans, its pretty poor to claim they dont have the facilities to cope with 5 new families.they should just welcome them.Syl
