It's usually just something pathetic like "trolling" because they didn't like what you said.
Do you think that ...... everyone that isn't rich......just loses their job in a recession?
Most home grown Aussies are the children or grandchildren of immigrants. This country is born of immigration.
Ah this old chestnut lol. There's a difference between people that have been here for 2 hundred years, through generations and generations, who all speak english and live our way of life, vs an immigrant from india/random muslim country coming over now. The country being born of immigration doesn't mean that everyone is forever an immigrant.
On your pictures, do you notice any sort of coincidence about the places with the massively high numbers and the immigrants we're packing the country full of?
Me: Don't just regurgitate the old debunked lies
You: Regurgitates the old debunked lies
Also how can you say this:
We need services for the number of people entering. New schools, new roads, new hospitals, more public transport and more medium density housing.
right after saying this?
We don’t need lower immigration numbers.
We only need new schools, new hospitals, new housing, etc because of our huge immigration numbers. If you pause immigration then we can let the countries infrastructure and housing catch up to a point where it's actually enough for the population we already have. Do you not understand how bringing in 1500 new immigrants per day when we already don't have enough houses etc only compounds the problem? We've brought in nearly 2 million immigrants in the last 2 years so by your logic all these issues should be fixed, shouldn't they? They're the ones we need to fix the problems aren't they? So why are the problems getting worse?
Ah so as expected, you just love using the buzzwords like "dogwhistle" and calling everyone you disagree with a "nazi". Facts are facts, "home grown" Australians aren't having as many children, and people from third world countries have more children due to things like lack of sex education, birth control access, and the need for more people to help/work. This isn't controversial in any way, nor is it an attack on them. It's just reality.
It is, however, an attack on our government who use these facts for their own agenda, which in this case is GDP growth and keeping the housing market booming at all costs.
Dude when you call everything “Nazi” no one cares. Nothing I said is even remotely “nazi talking points”.
Also I have no idea what “warning” you’re talking about lol
I see you didn’t read my last paragraph.
I don’t care if the rich get richer if that’s what it takes for the price of living to get better.
Like I said, it won’t happen anyway - the government won’t let it, and that’s why the cost of living is never going to get better.
The per capita drop is very much related to immigration, but the main point was that we’re expediting immigration-driven population growth just to keep overall gdp growth at any cost.
More and more immigrants are being brought in, having lots of kids, and working a bare minimum. Doing this lowers the per person gdp but increases total gdp - exactly like we’re seeing.
It’s not a coincidence that migration numbers are at all time highs at the exact same time that these gdp situations are unfolding. Immigration is being used to, among other things, keep total gdp growing so the government can say for amazing the economy is while it’s actual a complete shitshow - exactly like they’re doing.
What will get worse if we pause immigration for 5 years? Total GDP growth. That’s it. The housing market will improve (as in affordability and availability), inflation will slow. What will get worse?
Don’t give me any crap about us needing “skilled migrants” to keep our hospitals and building industries going either, cause we all know that’s a lie.
You're completely missing the point. Like way off.
Immigration isn't bad. No one is saying that it is. Immigration built this country, as people like to say over and over.
The issue is that right now, we are importing far too many people into a crumbling economy in an effort to prop it up, and for other political reasons. We are in the middle of an extreme housing affordability and availability crisis, homelessness crisis, and cost of living crisis - the LAST thing we need is MORE PEOPLE. When we already have no housing, why are we bringing in 1500 more people per day?
No one is saying stop immigration FOREVER.
