I used to live in Melbourne and it was noticeably worse than here, many aussies at my school referred to the numerous greek and italian people in the city as "wogs" and the mediterraneans called the locals "skippys", which is apparently the name of an old kangaroo show. New immigrants seemed to make little effort to assimilate which the aussies really resented.
