It is one thing to criticise and dislike skilled immigrants.
Never criticised them. Just made an observation, based on an observation. Show me any skilled migrant/s living in upper-kumbukta west.
But it would be unwise to underestimate their importance.
I don't under-estimate their importance - and neither should the Gubbmint. But I don't care about their importance to our community. We have more than enough able-bodied Aussie residents and citizens already who can fill any role if they have the inclination. They should only let in skilled, and fluent English speaking ones. All I care about is not living in a Country filled with bloody selfish, filthy humans - of any race.
Just imagine what would happen if all the skilled migrant IT professionals, Doctors, Accountants etc were to leave Australia? Remember, these people are very talented and if Australia do not accept them they will go to other western countries who will.
Good. See ya's. I'll miss ya's all.
Look, you keep missing my point. It's not about who can do what; it's about bloody bums on seats. I've seen loads of very populated Countries; there is absolutely no benefit to your lifestyle whatsoever to have that much of a population. It's all BS. All it breeds is a bigger sub-class, a bigger welfare class, more taxes to support them and so on.
Just to give you a recent example, when Indian student violence incident was going on New Zealand government was inviting all those students to come and study there as it is more safer. They know how lucrative the foreign student business is.
aah! so it's only about money to the Gubbmint.
And, see what extra population growth has (not) achieved? Harmony and tolerance. yeah.......
Don't assume only migrants benefit while the Australian people lose out. Both parties benefit, you just fail to realise. As for the unskilled migrants, even they contribute to your lifestyle by doing the low paid, risky jobs like cab drivers, seven eleven shop keepers. The example you gave of bakery where the owner didn't speak fluent English. If that is so much of hassle why didn't you find a bakery close by operated by Australian?
The scary thing is, she's probably an Aus citizen, and can't speak English.You can bleat all you like; the bottom line is too many bums on my seat. Get off. Go and live in China. They have a wonderful lifestyle I'm told.
Secondly, you critise India and China for being overly populated.
They are - and so is the USA, the UK, and others - as I said. Why did you select only those two countries for your argument? It's not nice to select only a couple of countries that I've mentioned for your benefit in your racism argument.
They are all filled with mostly very poor people, and only a small percentage of well-off types. Guess who's footing the bill. The ones who are poor? Ultimately the lifestyle drops in these scenarios as Gubbmints struggle to eek out dollars from those who can provide some to feed the swarms.
The single most important reason Australia didn't suffer major recession is China. So Australian economy is heavily dependent on China and may be in future China and India. Who do you think is going to buy all your resources on the back of which you have economic prosperity? Do you think these countries will want to do business with you if you kick their people out?
Could not care less. We can still do quite alright on that score without another forty or fifty million more litterers and traffic jammers. Before China opened up their country to the world about 20 or so years ago there was plenty of other players for us to trade with.
All they have done is allowed the world's industries to find a new place for manufacture using cheap labour. This will end, as it has done in many other countries that used to do the same.
It is important to get the balance of immigration right, but to critise them just doesn't make economic sense.
Again; it's not about economic
anything for me; it's all about my lifestyle right NOW, and what it will devolve to with another 30 million running around.
Ask all the poor b@stards stuck in the traffic jam up in Sydney today after the truck smash if we need even ONE more person in this Country. I know their answer.
After a long weekend down here, it can take the punters up to 30 mins just to get on the freeway to go home. Now, this is partly their own fault because they are a flock of sheep who do things the same and at the same time as everyone else, but imagine this scene projected 30 years into the future and with another 30 million sheep wandering around. People aren't going to miraculously change their ways and start not following the herd, or live out in the boondocks where their is plenty of room.
My mother lives in a place called Deniliquin where there is all the room under the sun, and the town is dying a slow death - people moving away. Why? because no-one wants to live out there in the country anymore, and all the farms are being bought by very large corporations that don't need many humans to run them. The mum and dad farmers are being squeezed out, the town businesses need them to survive but they are gone. We are becoming an urbanised world, and the newcomers only want to live in urban surroundings.
Maybe the dead centre of Aus will become green and lush, support life and cities and people will move there...
In your lifetime?
