ACTOR Firass Dirani has called on commercial TV producers to dump their "white Australia" policy and cast the "different flavours, different cultures" of contemporary Australian society.

The story itself is meh but the reader comments make entertaining reading.

I'd rather commercial producers dump their "shit" policy and produce TV worth watching.

whether it be US or UK or Australian TV, it is a largely white industry.
you could also say there is an age-ist issue as well when looking at older women in film.

saying that, i dont watch much australian TV, since its usually shit

Wehave reality all the time, let television be fantasy land , a bit of actual entertainment. I don’t care about the racial b/s. but I am sick of reality replacing entertainment. We have the news, we see the racial violence and we see the racial wars. What does he think they will do with the scripts? Can’t you just see it , gangs of drug dealers waring down at the diner, etc

Do these people go to their friends houses and re arrange the furniture because they dont like it? Hard work will be rewarded now whinging. Pilbara Mummy of Pilbara you have a whole channel dedicated to indigenous Australians on NTV tune your tv! maybe more asians and indians should appear on that!

Does this mean that we should portray them the way they behave when out in society. If we start doing that there will be cries of racism (and no doubt many about to tell me I'm racist for even saying that). It's really simple, stop watching TV - it rots your brain and is terrible for your intelligence.

Makes me want to become some PC left wing voice of the downtrodden, sheerly out of spite for the stupid on display in the comments section.

A HOME and Away actor has accused the soapie of being racist in a bitter Twitter rant after being dropped from the show.

"As someone who lost his job on H&A because they couldn't write two ethnics that weren't together, I'd like the chance to ply my trade," Laga'aia tweeted.

The file says 'hippy chick'. I had never seen it untill yesterday when picko99 put it on TLC. I assume it is at least 2 weeks old and therefore considered 'old and lame' by most hardened Internet professionals.
