Immigration is great when immigrants are not from 3rd world counries.
100% that GDP per capita is a much better measure - but we won't do that because it'll show our productivity in Australia absolutely sucks.
The actual problem we have in Australia is a productivity and innovation problem. We have never HAD to innovate so we don't, we just rely on being "the lucky country".
Problem is the luck will run out. Minerals are finite. The housing bubble can only inflate so much before it divides the classes beyond ever being able to repair them again.
Other than minerals, we offer nothing to the world.
When we do innovate the only ways for those companies to survive is to leave Australia - Atlassian, Canva etc. They're trying hard to keep Australia relevant but both has to go to the US to make an impact.
If Australia wants to rely on anything other than luck, we need to lift our innovation and productivity. Which means working both smarter AND harder. If we're not willing to do this then the current Ponzi schemes of housing and immigration are the only way to keep us globally competitive and it will continue to create massive wealth gaps (poorer poor and richer rich) and our standard of living will continue to drop.
Mass immigration? Immigration levels are only returning to what they were under the coalition government prior to COVID.
I suggest you look at the Abs data rather the endless lies that this communist pm spews forth. The last two years have had immigration numbers that were the second highest on record.
You know they also mean temporary visas.
Good point Pou someone has so the job locals refuse to do, what is the issue? Im perplexed - imagine an economy without immigration, it would be a shit show.
EE, there’s an easy fix if this protest fails to overthrow the Gov’t or stop mass student visas, the biggest chunk of the immigration pie nowadays. N Korea, China, Cuba, Sri Lanka & Madagascar have low immigration levels. It might take a while to get it, but don't give up. The ABS also tells us mental health issues affect around 40% of the population.
Well made points HOE
Both the Coalition and the ALP are addicted to immigration because it's the only way to make our GDP go up without facing into the actual/real/hard problems.
Sure the Coalition will talk up "strong borders" and will stop some random illegal immigrants (which seriously are not a problem for Australia... we're a bloody island) but they'll continue to import cheap labour because their supporters need it
Likewise the ALP will crow about Australian jobs and unemployment and boosting protection for workers. But they'll also keep immigration sky high because they won't want to face into the crippling productivity problem in Australia with our home grown workforce, it's a big union no-no to talk about that.
They're both equally culpable.
All for this one; Labor have divided the country; and have increased the amount of immigrants we have, let alone the lack of skills they bring in and lack of assimilation. And welfare they add; they are not Australians and never will be.
The palestinian protest was nothing short of disgraceful and embarrassing for our country and they should all piss off back and fight for their country if they are so passionate and stop bleeding on our system; but then again labor love it. I also noticed there was a known terrorist on the harbour bridge that day waving a certain flag....something ironic when you consider the men who built it.We will become like the UK if someone does not sort it. You leave your troubles at the airport when you come here piss off back; its very simple and many people are over this lot and their supporters.
Where are they marching for the women opporessed around the world? Penny Wong....silent.
