Here’s a coloured chap from Malta who’s had his Australian visa revoked by Australia’s immigration minister personally, because of gang trouble he’s causing there
Good thing he had a visa and they could just cancel it, because otherwise they’d just have had to push him back or deport him. Can’t trust these coloured chaps from Malta, can you – old guys with bikes, causing gang trouble in other people’s countries.
Send them back home where they came from. Can’t stand those Maltese – nothing but trouble. Gang-rapists and hooligans, the lot of them.
And God, look how ugly they all are – that’s the kind of face into which you just have to empty a gun.
They come here to our civilised country, Australia, from their savage island of Maltese animals, and disturb our peace and change our culture.
They behave like animals because that’s all they know in Malta – bunch of savages. Next time, just let him arrive, push him into the bay and let him drown.
Or flay him and use his black skin to tarmac a road. What do you call two ugly Maltese animal gangsters in a liquidiser? Har har har.

This embarrassing piece of crud has been at it for years. Here’s a news video from 2009. He’s been in Australia for 40 years ‘living with his family’, but is not an Australian citizen and you can see from this footage that he never learned to speak English properly either. And his accent is Maltese not Australian.

Twikkejna bih ahna issa.
I love you.
Looks like a cross between Norman Lowell and Joe Grima – in his younger days.
People are defending him all because he is a ‘Malti bħalna’.
not true. we are not defending this hooligan. And I hope that his stay in Malta wont be for long. I hope. But I don’t blame the Australian Government. It rid itself from this unwanted criminal who made his fortune in the black.
What do you mean by ‘we’? I said people, not you and me. And yes, there are people defending this man and I bet that they want to get him on Xarabank.
And there’s more:

Why do I have the nasty feeling that even as I write this comment some are thinking of ways to make a hero out of him, a few TV appearanaces, a few interviews, some cheering and clapping crowds and audiences.
Don’t you just hate this feeling? It has become both boring and terrifying to read the profile of a nation and project their manipulations.
Well Muscat must be careful how to deal with this case; Australia is not lenient in such circumstances and Muscat and this gang leader can create an international diplomatic incident if they are not careful on the path they tread.
I understand what you’re saying. I wouldn’t be surprised if he is invited to show up in Xarabank.
My thoughts exactly.
It will be ‘Halli inberraq ghajneja ftit – dan miskin ma jistax jara t-tfal’.

[Daphne – Australia is not a signatory to the European Convention on Human Rights. If you want to be taken seriously, don’t quote Bare Naked Islam. Or read it.]
I wonder how the Maltese-Australia biker cronies in Charles Sammut’s racist FB group are going to digest this bit of news.
Are they going to do in one of their own and call for Malta to do as Australia does, or are they going to say Australia’s wrong?
If he was an undesirable then Australia did the right thing.
Exactly the first thought that came to mind
Brave words, Chris M. Try posting them in Charles Sammut’s racist group to see whether the biker-racists agree with you.
Do you condemn Australia’s push back policy on immigration?
[Daphne – Yes. It has led to horrifying scenes over the years. I am old enough to remember when the term ‘boat people’ was first used in the 1970s, for the first wave of refugees from the Vietnam War, who arrived in Australia in makeshift boats. It made the world news. http://www.aph.gov.au/About_Parliament/Parliamentary_Departments/Parliamentary_Library/pubs/rp/rp1314/BoatArrivals ]
When the boat people arrived in the 1970s they were received with open arms and helped with re-settlement.
Later in the eighties and nineties, the conservatives, led by Prime Minister John Howard, saw this as an affront to the nation and used it as a political wedge to lift their vote.
They were so successful with this that the mainstream political class (both left and right, except for the greens) took on the mantra and we now have a bi-partisanship cruel approach to asylum seekers arriving by boat.
The latest policy now ensures that anyone arriving by boat is processed offshore and even if successful in their refugee application will not make it to Australia and will be resettled elsewhere. This is the current policy.
In fact the conservatives’ main battle cry at the most recent election was “Stop the boats”. This meant more push backs. Shame Shame Shame.
@Raphael Dingli –
Australia has its priorities in the right place.
Malta should scrap its signatory to the European Convention on Human Rights and treat immigration in the same way Australia does.
Australia is democratic civilized country. There is no reason why we should not take examples from them.
@Chris M, you have a very skewed definition of the term “civilised.” A country that allows disadvantaged human beings who are not its nationals to die at its borders (or in an attempt to cross them) for the sake of maintaining racial purity or some other contrived economic argument is far from advanced.
Your suggestion to retracting our signature to the ECHR is ludicrous. Have you ever read the bloody document?
Article 2 states: “Everyone’s right to life shall be protected by law.” Article 3 states: “Everyone’s right to life shall be protected by law.”
Now, shall we waiver this guarantee that gives you and me the legal means to protect ourselves?
Chris M
Malta cannot scrap its signatory. Malta IS a signatory to the convention on human rights – and thank heavens for that, or people like you could be arrested repeatedly, held in a dank, dark cell, hauled up to court on some trumped-up charge and then beaten senseless and left dead under a bridge.
History didn’t begin with your dawning realisation that the world doesn’t revolve around you and your tantrums.
Human rights are non-territorial and indivisible. They are yours even if the law doesn’t recognise them. When the law does recognise human rights – as it does in Malta – it makes no distinction based on creed or colour.
Has it never occurred to you that Malta might be a much better place if people with your mindset were to climb into a boat with Norman Lowell and paddled off to North Africa?
@Chris M.
Australia was a democratic civilised country. No longer the case, I am afraid to say. I reiterate what I said earlier – its current policy on immigration has got absolutely no relationship to democracy or civilisation.
It’s all about ensuring the capture of the racist and xenophobic vote – like yours.
Here is a topical example of where this cruelty has got to: http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/family-of-asylum-seeker-leo-seemanpillai-cannot-attend-his-funeral-20140617-zsajw.html.
And it is people with views similar to yours that are driving such positions and cheering the politicians when they take them.
40 years and they deported him? Utterly ridiculous!
They did the right thing. Finally they got rid of him.
Better late than never
No, they did not deport him. They just retracted his visa. Not ridiculous at all.
In a troubled Muslim country, that’s the kind of sub-humans who’d end up in a fundamentalist terrorizing group. I easily picture him among the cruel butchers of the Islamic State in Iraq and Levant (ISIL).
It’s not the country that’s relevant, it’s the sub-humans http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qTKsylrpsg
When Mr Vella was asked to explain his role within the biking gang he said ‘it was just a hobby’
Well at least he didn’t say it was a tradition.
This guy is wasting his time in Australia. With those looks he stands no chance in hell.
With his CV I am sure Manwel can get him a job here as head of the police motorcycle traffic division with the rank of superintendent. After a month he will be promoted to AC.
With his expertise in criminology he good advance even further.
I am sure Peter Paul will have no objection.
Kif jghid il-Malti….. Telquhulu.
Le, wahhluhuna
Yes you’ve portrayed it perfectly above. The derision Australians show towards uncouth foreigners like Alex Vella who do not integrate and cause trouble. The same qualities mentioned in arguments against immigrants, currently gracing all the comments boards of Maltese online papers.
And how ironic is it, that so many family members of today’s Maltese racists went to Australia by boat.
They argue that somehow they’re superior because theirs was a legal entry into the country. It was legal importation of cheap labour, of masses of dark-skinned people who may still be called ‘wogs’ to this day, who do not speak proper English or speak it with a heavy accent and many of whom live in unsavoury parts of the country where well-heeled Australians refuse to tread.
Many of them were immigrants who enjoyed the benefits Australia has to offer without bothering to apply for Australian citizenship (like Alex above) for many years.
And one last thing. How many Maltese know that Australia does in fact accept refugees through a formal resettlement program? Hundreds of refugees from refugee shelters around the world come to Australia through the proper channels every year and are supported by government and other charitable organisations until they are able to make their own way in life.
So when is he coming home.
Why? Are you preparing a “welcome back” party?
Count me 0UT, please.
No, but he deserves a hug from Joseph.
He has lived in Australia for 40 years and never bothered to apply for citizenship.
If dual citizenship did not apply he would have a small excuse but that is not the case. That’s lazy and ignorance.
There is a term in Oz for such idiots here: boganaire. Translation: a bogan is a hamallu, and ‘aire’ is because he is rich.
Bogans here in Australia are worse than hamalli in Malta, as they take pride in being bogans and promote the bogan lifestyle, like saying that it’s great to be well off and comfortable even if you have never walked into an art gallery or been to the opera.
One way of showing you belong to this group is by putting on your $300 Louis Vuitton slippers and walking down the street wearing them. Still slippers.
As for the Australian government’s existing asylum seekers policy, that’s another rather shameful story from both sides of the political fence. The irony in the story and attitudes you describe here is that it is being pushed by the politicians purely for votes.
It’s not a belief systemn. Thankfully there are many Australians who detest this position. Me included.
Suldat ta l-azzar. Igri jasal Malta halli nikkurunawh.
If I heard TVM news correctly he was described as a millionaire and that he was forced to leave Australia ‘ta’ fuqu senduqu’ (with what he could carry with him). Anyone can confirm please?
Either you heard wrong or TVM got it wrong. The complex and contradictory legislation in Australia is that someone cannot be deported if they have a valid visa and have not been found guilty of a criminal offence in a court of law.
On the other hand, permanent residents with a valid visa can have that visa revoked if they are out of the country.
This can only be done by the relevant Minister for immigration.
This recent power overturns the previously long-held understanding known as right of return.
In this instance the Minister has used his discretion, following advice and recommendations by the police. The police do not need to have any evidence of criminality, suspicion is enough.
I am not trying to defend the man in question here, but it’s a slippery slope when a Minister can unilaterally revoke someone’s visa without any judicial oversight.
Note that permanent residence does not mean you are an Australian citizen.
Imagine if this kind of language had to be used by a Maltese and addressed to an illegal immigrant!
May I ask who wrote up this nice little piece on the Maltese in Australia with all the talk of gang rapists and flaying and shooting?
[Daphne – Please try to keep up. A lot of what is posted on this website assumes that you’re a regular reader.]
Sorry for asking such a difficult question Daphne. I will try to keep up in the future .
Now go to your Facebook page and link this article, then discuss it with your friends and get upset about it. Because who dares to write about a Maltese man in that fashion, right?
Now there’s a breakthrough topic for Peppi and his Karozza tal-Lina show.
The tragedy in all this is that Malta will be stuck with this scum now that the Australian authorities don’t want him on their territory anymore.
We are actually f*ck*d

Weren’t we told that all Maltese emigrants were law-abiding citizens who had entered their host country legally ?
He most probably did enter Australia legally, as a boy with his Australian- immigration officials vetted parents in Valletta, ( along with being medically checked, incl. chest Xrays and police records checked) like thousands of other very legal Maltese migrants in the 1950s and early 1960s.
And once arriving in Australia he along with his siblings and parents, would be given Landed Immigrant status, a slip of paper for each person, adult or child, plus having his parent’s British Subject passport stamped at entry.
The problem was that as a young adult he got in trouble with the law in Australia and he had not taken out Australian citizenship, which he could have after so many years there but for some reason he did not.
Convicted non-citizen criminals can be deported to the nation of their birth after they serve prison time in Australia or just deported right away, all at the discretion of the sentencing judge.
He must have had very good connections in Australia if it took them this long to deport him, as they are usually very prompt to do so, whether he protested or resisted or not.
@ Ken il malti – please read the background before making assumptions.
They did not deport him. He left Australia for a holiday. He has not been convicted of anything. He is under suspicion and has not been charged with any offence. They revoked his visa – no more no less. He has no right of return because he is not a citizen. .
He has that typical horrible Maltese-Australian accent.
Oh hobbies! What crimes are committed in thy name!
In Australia, Alex Vella’s type are called wogs.
@Lolly. Wrong on this one. Racists and xenophobes who use the term ‘wogs’ do not distinguish between trouble-makers and law-abiding integrated citizens.
Anyone from Southern Europe is called a wog – Italians, Greeks, Spaniards, Maltese etc. are called wogs in Australia.
Over time – and following many years of “cultural growing up” (that would take a whole book to explain) the term ‘wog’ has in fact become a term of endearment for many. Especially so after a very successful play which sold out across Australia called “Wogs Out of Work” – produced, directed and acted by wogs, of course.

Daphne,
First off this sort of MC gang culture is a new world creation namely USA and any race and/or creed is welcome to it. Therefore equating local Maltese racists with this Maltese man on having adopted Australia’s bad habits for then to be exiled due to those same bad habits by said country is not on is it?
We have Australia to thank for giving this man the education he now has while granted we all make our own bed your confusing the two issues makes no sense at all.
[Daphne – I really don’t understand what point you’re making here. There’s a Maltese chapter of the MC Rebels biker gang, and Alex Vella is very much involved in it. So clearly, it’s a Maltese problem too and the Maltese members acquired their biker gang habit here, in Malta. Alex Vella is not Australian. He is Maltese. He even sounds Maltese. Therefore Australia has every right to chuck him out, and it’s a shame Malta can’t do the same.]
