More stuff to read
"Immigration is terrific and has been an engine of growth for our country for decades. But it must work for us. If we don't have enough homes, importing more people will add to that demand. Importing people who go immediately onto welfare is also…"
"It is both FONG. We can't house what we have here as it is and I agree. Refer to my comment about skilled immigrants and those that value and respect our laws and our values."
"You know they also mean temporary visas."
"Largest national protest this country has seen?
Is that a "pluck" I was around in the Vietnam protests, I don't see this has the same ramifications as Australia's national interest compared to Vietnam where we had troops involved. I didn't protest…"

I Just read your post again and I still can't define what you are protesting...seems a like kinda everything vibe. I am totally behind a pause in immigration till housing catches up. But you wanna roll it into a general grievance burger.
Again, largest national protest ever. We did stand up.
You didn't notice the Hamas, ISiS flags and children wearing ISIS headbands? The speakers calling for Israel's annihilation didn't provide any clues as to what the march was supporting?
nope.
Even the chant "to the river to the sea" is the most radical, vile, racist chant , that is iextremism 101.
Mutts you notice how the homeless are all Aussies while refugees get immediate housing?
Ewwww yuck
spat out my coffee
I get that there needs to be balance in immigration numbers but returning to " the white australia policy " isn't the way to do it .....
No where did I say return to a white australia policy. We have a housing crisis and record numbers of homeless. Flood vicitims from years ago still without homes and this Government has allowed record numbers of immigrants in at a time when we cannot afford it and when we don't have the infrastructure to support it. I am all for immigration of skilled people who will respect our values and way of life, but numbers need to be controlled especially given the circumstances I have outlined above.
Your extremely scattered mate, cost of living increases have affected the international economy- can you seriously blame this government for the current housing crisis?? This issue has been mismanaged by both major parties, also putting to a particular race economic and social consequences i.e. who will drive for uber ?? I've been drink numerous times i haven't met one true blue aussie uber driver- and EE question mate have you travelled os? When ? Which country? How where you greeted? Ive travelled os and people abroad love Australians . Mate read who was on the first fleet and how nationalities on that boat - you could do with a history lesson or 2
Despite the bleating from all sides of government, Australia can't meaningfully cut immigration because we rely on it to keep our GDP humming.
Is it an unsustainable Ponzi scheme? Probably. But so is investment housing, and we keep pumping that up to no end.
Immigration isn't the problem...the way our entire economy is structured is the problem. We produce nothing in this country other than digging up minerals (what luck they were under our feet, just like the Beverly Hillbillies) and flipping property to each other.
We hide our lack of productivity and innovation through migration - we import skills and demand. It works until it doesn't. Now we're feeling the impacts. But this system is the same system that enabled the generations before us to flourish and enjoy the best of the best times.
You know why neither of the major parties will change a thing? Because all of their biggest supporters need to keep digging up minerals, and flipping houses, and importing cheap labour.
Immigration isn't the problem and if you think "this major party is good and this one is bad" then you're ignoring the fact that ALL governments since the last world war have propped up this model in Australia. We reap what we sow. The last few generations used up all of the good times and now generations to come have to face the consequences.
Immigration is not the issue , immigration from 3rd world shit holes is the issue and you only need look at Europe to see the issues they cause .
