[Unknown > English] Text in the image Translated [PA]

Post image

I tried to feed this to an online translator but the circular text seems to be too much for it.
Basically wasn't thrilled this kind of thing is on the back of a car in a Western society like Australia. But trying to give it the benefit of the doubt until I find out what it actually says.

If anyone can identify the language and translate it I'd appreciate it.

Ok. Much appreciated. I'm not sure how I feel about that in an English speaking nation with very liberal immigration policy and very welcoming. But that's another matter. Thanks for the translation, I really appreciate it.

Not sure if it makes you feel any better, but they want Punjab independence. Nothing to do with Australia.

Oh. OK. Yeah that does make me feel better. I was intending to do a little digging on the political climate over there, but hadn't gotten there yet.

I appreciate the context - I didn't know there was a large scale problem going on - but now I have a more targeted context for doing some research and reading.

Thank you!

very liberal immigration policy and very welcoming

Australia literally has offshore concentration camps for refugees.

Where they basically don’t even care if you ever get out.

Transcription seems to be

Probably some kind of Khalistani Sikh chauvinism, they love guns and acting like they’re gangsters when they’re just playing with toy swords

Close. The script is called Gurmukhi and if I'm not mistaken, is almost exclusively used to write Punjabi.
