Either that or teach them one word of English.. Traveller: Commonly refers to one who travels, especially to distant lands.
If you wanted to stay in one place PAY YOUR FUCKING TAXES LIKE EVERYONE ELSE AND CALL YOURSELVES 'STATIONARIES'!!!

Either travel or stay put (applying for planning permission etc), but if you're going to stay put DON'T say you're a traveller! The whole point is that travellers aren't supposed to be able to bear living in a permanent structure: SO STOP BUILDING THEM THEN!

so travelling is nigh on impossible as nobody wants them hanging about. So they get moved on by the coppers and end up overnighting in lay-bys, where they generally get moved on again by the coppers.
Nobody wants travellers camping nearby, spoiling the view, leaving a mess, robbing and generally selling pegs and cursing. Once upon a time they would have followed the harvest work getting jobs on farms and the like, but in an increasingly industrialised society they have become an anachronism. You can't deny them the right to their lifestyle, but there doesn't seem much point to it any more. Other than going on channel 4 and generally making life difficult for themselves.

I think there's a lot of room in the middle of Australia. No police to enforce the laws, either.

it seems to be part of their nature to be (or be seen to appear to be) put upon.
Edit: Australia doesn't have the best of records when it comes to dealing with ethnic groups.

in all seriousness i've no idea what the solution is, but strings of travellers fouling up a site and leaving without cleaning it is both unpleasant and expensive for the taxpayer - quite besides any other issue. that doesn't justify victimising them, but it does justify finding a way of passing on the expense, or preventing it in the first place.

This would be immensely popular with everyone except a tiny belligerent minority in the population. And the travellers.

a never-ending slippery slope leading straight to hell. Or perhaps to 70s rock played overloud in cars we'll never be able to afford.

They stole my contingency plan and made it look shit.
A bit too much of a Mad Max vibe.

I'd forgotten they were there one day and cycled home along that track
as I was nearing the caravans suddenly a load of dogs appeared from nowhere and started attacking & chasing me, got quite a few marks on my ankles as I pedalled as fast as I could to get away
fuckers
