In South Sydney, a fire destroyed a four story block of flats.
A Polynesian family of six con artists lived on the first floor, and
all six died in the fire.
An Islamic group of seven Pakistani welfare cheats, all illegally in
the country, lived on the second floor, and they, too, all perished in
the fire.
Six Maori, ex-cons lived on the 3rd floor and they too, died.
Four Aboriginal families in the 2 flats on the 4th floor also perished.
One white couple lived on the top floor. The couple survived the fire.
Relatives of the deceased and local do-gooders were furious. They flew
into Sydney and quickly demanded a meeting with the fire chief. On
camera, they loudly demanded to know why the Islanders, Muslims, Maoris
and Aboriginals all died in the fire and only the white couple lived.
The fire chief quietly replied,
"Simple - they were both at work."
