http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/na...ant-taxi-drivers/story-fndo317g-1226443117040ANGRY white females are clashing with migrant taxi drivers - forcing the industry to develop cultural training on dealing with drunk, aggressive and assertive women.
The industry says significant resources have been devoted to training drivers in Australian culture and attitudes - and women, in particular - with experienced drivers helping recruits learn the ropes.
But tough-talking Australian women are still proving a culture shock for many. "Australian women can be more aggressive and assertive than some new drivers might be used to in their own culture," Queensland Taxi Council president Max McBride said."In world terms they are free as you can get, as they should be, and they know what they want and they don't mind saying it.
If an overseas born taxi driver driving in Australia has to be trained how to be culturally sensitive to and deal with assertive women in Australia then he shouldn't have been given the job in the first place. Australia is not Iran etc where women have little rights. Discuss.
