I love how black people call people racist and then highlight they are white.
black people can be racist too.

Majority of the racists in Australia are from overseas and are not white.

So is the problem racism or discrimination? maybe the taxi driver only lets women ride in his vehicle and it was just a coincidence that this fella had black skin.
Oh did you see that? a sneezing black fella and not one person volunteered a hanky "raaayisem is every where"

yeah nah this is over done. If you have taken a taxi in the last few weeks without calling it or caught it at night you will know that theres a lot that don't take a lot of fares unless they are big or worth it, even if its on the way of the taxi driver if hes about to finish.
Infact wulf it even says in the story "Mr Grose says he was doubly shocked when he realised the driver was either Indian or Pakistani" and of course aboriginals like yourself wulf go blame white people. So basically you just proved circahh correct.

Toots beat me to it. The indian and pakistani drivers always ask me to pay a deposit. The white drivers never do. Is that racist? I've been refused plenty of times because the taxi driver says "Oh dat is too far bro"

Taxi drivers refuse to take me places if they are about to take another job, I'm going the wrong direction for them, it's too far out of their way or they are finishing up... But it sounds like this Taxi was called for him and was waiting for him? Gonna be hard to paint that as anything innocent.

could have been that it was cuz he was blind. the fare probably would have been like 50 bucks and the **** would try pay with ten bucks.
or maybe he had a seeing eye dog and the guys allergic
or maybe he wasnt wearing pants and had his **** flopping around like a blind mans cane?

Yeah, he prolly wasn't wearing pants. I didn't even think of that. You know, if more singers of... Whatever kind of music he sings... Would put pants on I'd go to more concerts. It's not that I don't like hot dogs, it's just that I don't want every musical experience to end with susage in my buns.

or just maybe it was because alot of aboriginals get into cabs at night and skip on the fares. because thats probably what it is, to say it was racism is probably wrong, to say it was sterotype discrimination was probably more accurate. But hes "a celebrity" and they get treated better so abc made a big deal over it. If i called them and said some punjab **** didnt let me in the cab at 3am in the morning they would probably tell me to harden the **** up and hang up. which is more racist then a black guy not taking a black guy. maybe if black guys werent all crims

So because this guy is a abo it's deemed to be racist, when was the last time you saw a news article about a white or ethnic person being refused a taxi that made headlines. Harden the **** up and accept that the taxi driver has every right to refuse anyone he or she likes.

Most racists don't even know they're racist. Any form of discrimination or prejudice based on race, is racism, and it's been exhibited at one point or another by most of the people on this forum, including myself. We're a racist country, and anybody who defends it by citing the fact that people of other races are also racist - as if that's somehow relevant or justifies it - is a racist. You mean to say that human beings of other races can also be racist? No **** way. That's such a goddamned revelation, you just like, totally blew my mind and **** HURRRRRRRRRRRRR. You're a racist and a ****, stop denying it.

They don't know thats the reason, and Kreto's right about the ABC wouldnt do this story if it was a white person. If kreto is racist because of that, then i'm a racist too and your avatar needs to get out of my country.

Quote: the taxi driver has every right to refuse anyone he or she likes. false. Quote: Customer Charter
In summary, taxi drivers have the right to:
ask for proof of ability to pay or request a deposit up to the estimated fare refuse to take passengers or terminate a hiring if they are violent, noisy, misbehaving, filthy or offensive.
Taxi drivers have a responsibility to:
be courteous and helpful know and obey traffic laws not refuse a fare (other than for the reasons outlined above) know major routes and destinations understand and speak English take the most direct, practicable route be neat, clean and tidy wear an approved uniform assist passengers where reasonable and be understanding of people with special needs Taxi drivers and operators are required to clearly display a sticker summarising the charter in their cabs http://www.taxi.vic.gov.au/passengers/p ... er-charter

My dad is a taxi driver and I have worked as security at a taxi rank (night time weekends). But, they drive off when they see someone they don't like. When I approach a taxi with someone who was obviously "being told to get the **** in a cab" they would take off 95% of the time. You can report them for it if you care enough.

yeah but if you are scared of black people you probably wouldn't follow that rule of rabbits, most white people are afraid of blacks because blacks are huge and good at boxing rabbits
wham! whoomph!

its not my rule its the customer charter that all drivers have to agree to (and uphold) if they want to hold a license to drive a taxi
i do agree with the customer charter tho so lets just call it my rule
oh and while rabbits seem very unassuming obviously u are not familiar with the documentaries made by monty python that delve into the fighting prowess of rabbits

I got turned away by an indian cabbie that wouldnt take me from brisbane to the gold coast once, the dumb **** pulled over after he finally got his gps to show where he had to go. He tried to make me get out on some random street but I got him to take me back to the rank where he was going anyway. The next taxi driver was indian also but he took the fair and turned the meter off at 100 bucks. Cabby 1 was a filthy indian ****, cabby 2 was a good bloke.

I think it might be safe to say, however, that it's not because you're white. If cabbies were turning down fares from people based on the fact that they were white, they would be starving in the gutters...

The story doesn't seem to suggest that he pulled up and drove off... At least, not the way I was reading it. Maybe I'm wrong but it seems like it was a 'waiting taxi'. IE: The taxi had been called and told to wait outside for this customer.
Either way, as you said, **** them... Whomever 'them' may be in your contex. I'm an equally oppertuinity hater, so **** the lot'of'em! They can all go to sea and shoot an albatrosssssss!

Calling idiot radio numbskulls inspired me to look at other crazy things.
I hope this law is invoked.
Section 474.17: Using a carriage service (telephone) that a reasonable persons would regard as being offensive.
Penalty: Imprisonment for 3 years.
Arizona: it is illegal for donkeys to sleep in bathtubs.
In Natoma, Kansas, it is illegal to practise knife throwing at men wearing striped suits.
In North Carolina it is illegal to use elephants to plough cotton fields.
In Australia Taxi cabs are required to carry a bale of hay in the boot.

I am having a fit of outrage these two "radio DJ's" have pulled a stunt and now a woman is dead and you have the likes of Jeff Kennet and other people in the "entertainment industry" saying everybody should stop hating on these two because they are young and have their whole life blablabla and every body should calm down and leave these two "victims" to go about their lives in peace.
I am so fcn angry the media gets in our face all the time when the shoe is on the other foot its all "lets just calm down" raaaaraaaraaa.
