Framer, you need to get out and venture more outside a little more. I would never go out in so many parts of Sydney and feel safe. Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, Taiwan and so many other parts of Asia are so much safer than Sydney. I feel very happy to let my children to go out alone in HK, but not a hope in Sydney.
The Chinese value families and children and could teach Australians so much. Just look how the Australian courts send pedophiles free and DOC's never look after those they should.All you have to do is open an Australian paper most days to see these stories re-occuring.
I think the only dangerous part of asia is the taxi and mini bus drivers
I'm staying here for the safety of my family and the strong family values here!
Framer, all the best in Sydney, although I would suggest (for your sake and personal growth) you atleast get out and see what this wonderful culture has to offer.
