Well if greek people are dishonest then obviously Australian people are not going to like it.

Would you be friends with a person who wants to take advantage of you ?

Correct me if I am wrong but the showroom for this project has just opened over the last few weeks.
So after just a month or two they're going to close the showroom and start construction ?
Besides from the casual racism the showroom is in a completely separate building so I'm not sure why you think it would need to close when construction starts. It was built there for this exact reason.

Many of my Greek and Italian friends say they experience racism in Adelaide even as third generation children of migrants. I always thought there was no way this could be true after 60 years of assimilation and their highly evident contributions to the Australian lifestyle and culture fabric.

Well congratulations to ghs for proving me wrong on that. :(

There's quite a few users on this forum (in the Le cornu thread) who have been negative towards Makris due to
him being dishonest / dodgy.

Con Polites who was also greek didn't have the best reputation. I remember as a kid one family friend said
once 'He is more of a Con then he is polite.'

Some Australian people are negative towards Greek / Italian people but there are good reasons for
it. They're not always honest.

ghs, I can't speak for your comments on Polites but in regards to Makris, you have no idea what you're talking about. Speaking as someone who knows the guy, he's not the friendliest person around but he's certainly not dishonest, in-fact quite the opposite. He'd certainly put you in your place if you made such comments regarding Greek people in-front of him, which let's be real here, you won't because right now you're safely behind your computer screen. :wink:

Here's some honesty for you:

Give the racist garbage a rest. You're making a complete dick of yourself.

I don't have a problem with people from other countries but I do have a problem with people
who are dishonest. Makris has been talking about developing the Lecornu site for years but
nothing has happened. He was also in trouble in greece a few years ago :

Getting back on topic, the original post for this development depicts two other buildings to presumably be built along with the twin towers. Any updates on these buildings? I Wouldn't be fussed if that average looking concrete building never saw daylight, however the slim hotel has some merit too it.

I'm of Greek background, but I guess because my parents were born in another country, that means I'm not a real Australian like you, even though I was born here.

Iain Mott, Jed Raymond Coffey, Michelle Kay Hack. These are 3 of 6 police officers busted during a police sting targeting corrupt police. They were caught stealing from mock drug houses.
Take note of the names. Anglo Saxons.

Three corrupt officers, guilty of stealing and other offences.

You have a whinge about Makris failure to develop a site and link it to his ethnicity.
Well let me play that game too.
Just like those three corrupt dodgy Anglo Saxon cops, you're corrupt and dodgy too.

Or should I assume since you are either from a Catholic or Anglican family, you must be a pedo like most of your denominations priests?


You might be an intolerant racist whose been raised that way in/by an obviously racist family(judging by your comment), but don't project your racist stupidity onto the rest of the state, to try and excuse your racism.

And if you want, let's meet up on the weekend and you can make your racist remarks face to face. I promise I'll leave my 500 first cousins out of it. We can have a coffee or a yiros or maybe some Chinese. My shout.

Oh btw, people being critical of Makris and the whole lecornu saga, aren't beige racist. There's a difference between your blatant racism and their criticism of the failure to develop the lecornu site. One is warranted one isn't..I'll let you guess which.

Get out you don't have a problem with people different from you.
You just made your whole post about a guy's ethnicity and even mentioned another guy whose long dead now, and made a whole point about how Greeks and Italians are al dodgy.

Are you sure?
Maybe I missed it being distracted by the main towers

You know that proposal for a new tallest on Frome, a Samaras is behind that. They're Greek too.
Surprised you haven't mentioned them in your racist babbling.

I suppose at least we don't have to hear about valleys of death and all your usual doom and gloom bullshit.

I believe they are placeholders, they are not part of this development.

If I understood the sales rep correctly, at least the slim building is still on the cards down the line. Didn't really talk about details, it was mostly to confirm that the plans for that building imply that it's only 20 floors or so, meaning it doesn't block the views from the apartment floors of the main tower.

And again, second day in a row I've had to have conversations with people.

I thought this could go unsaid, but apparently not.

Just like personal attacks, sweeping generalisations based on race, sexuality, etc are not acceptable.

The idea that since some people act a certain way, and belong to a larger group, then all people in that group behave the same way, is a logical fallacy.
