Your point? How do we benefit or how have you benefitted
Are you replying to my post?
If so; I don't have a point - just responding to windyzz's post.
It is true; we have had loads of various nationalities immigrating to Aus for decades/centuries.
Does it benefit me? Yes - the increasing population means a lot of benefits to the community as a whole; taxes for infrastructure etc - and of course; increase in property prices!
Personally - and it is a greedy point of view - after having living among 300 million people in the USA for 3 years, and experiencing just how horrible that is, and how it does absolutely nothing towards improving the wider populations' standard of living; I would be more than happy for Aus to have zero population growth and immigration from this day forward.
Anyone who reckons another 50 million people wandering around Aus will be a good thing needs their head read, and go and live in the USA or some other horridly overpopulated Country to really see what happens.
And, let's face it; if we do get another 50 mill, they will be predominantly clogging up already clogged up Cities; they are not going to move out to the boondocks and set up camp, and make the place evenly spread out with humans.
Why do reckon I moved down to the Peninula?
To get away from the hordes of humans infesting the planet.
