(CNN) -- One of Australia's largest supermarket chains has come under fire for an online job ad that specified that "no Indians or Asians" should apply.
The ad, which sought cleaners at a Coles supermarket near the Tasmanian capital of Hobart, sparked condemnation after it was posted Sunday, according to Australian media reports.
Coles said the offending ad was placed by a cleaning subcontractor without the company's knowledge, in a written statement from spokesperson Jim Cooper.
"Coles is a proud, equal-opportunity employer and at no time have we ever issued the directives contained in this ad."
The company said it was "extremely concerned to learn of the ad and its contents" and has terminated the subcontractor's services as a result. It said it will also retrain its cleaning contractor on equal opportunity employment policies.
The ad has since been removed from the popular Gumtree classifieds website.
"I'm certainly going to look at commencing an investigation into what's happening—the role of Gumtree, what Coles' role was, and find out more details about the subcontractor," said Tasmania's Anti-Discrimination Commissioner Robin Banks.
She said the ad was clearly "discriminatory on the basis of race" and a breach of the Tasmania Anti-Discrimination Act.

India and China are among the most common countries of birth of non-native Australians. According to the 2011 census, 1.4% of the country's population is Indian-born, and 1.5 % hail from mainland China.

thats about the tolerable % of immigrants of an obvious kind a mostly homogenous population can take according to research...3%- as soon as it hits 3%+ trouble ::redcard:: ::redcard:: ::redcard:: :police: :police: :police:
usually an homogenous population can take an unthreatening number of such immigrants. they are unique, exotic, colouful etc. :cheesy: :cheesy: :cheesy:
but as soon as they become obvious by numbers the shiite starts to fly around the fan. they are now a threat, a presence for whom room must be made, in the schools, libraries, parks, taking jobs, helping more and more to get in, colonising spaces like Indos and Chinese always do wherever they are...
look out :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:

if dat question is fuh me I dont know the answer. :cheesy:
:cheesy: :cheesy:
its jess as I saw the % of the population of visable ethnic migrants on Oz I remembered the research reports I saw in doing a project on immigration and racial problems some time ago...and I thought, if yu add in blacs, phillipinos, Vietnamese and some of the blac pacific populations around Oz... visable minority immigration would be about threshold 3%+ now..and Oz tolerance for visable immigrants would have reached its limits... and the racial trouble should begin to blow up just about now
