We're only a very very tiny population in comparison to those two places and as poodles pointed out with heaps of spare land that's vacant. They can continue to build satellite cities that are self supportive but they even seem to have problems building those because there's not much employment around them. We need more jobs in those areas rather than couple people like sheep in CBDs and with the ending of manufacturing in this country this will get even worse.
It did ? I'm still here something went wrong, Houston, we have a problem.
Did I not mention it was about numbers? Like I said, unfortunately the outliers get all the air time. But most Australians are concerned about escalating population growth and their reasons are not racially motivated. Surveys have shown that up to 2/3rds or Australians have reservations with the current rates of population growth. So 2/3rds of Aussies are racists?
Or are you, you may well be just a thought in the mind of the aliens that conquered us and then slaughtered us like pigs.
If 2/3rds of the population are concerned about population growth, then they should stop having kids. According to the 2016 census, more than 50% of Australia has one or more parents born overseas, so can be considered recent immigrants and should be blamed for population growth.
There is a difference between blaming 'immigrants' and blaming 'immigration'. One is a person or persons making a perfectly rational decision. The latter is complete failure of policy to control levels of immigration such that basic level of services and quality are not severely impacted.
This. It’s about how responsible each human is.
As a genuine question (not a shit stirring effort) have you considered returning to where your family came from? It would cut us some slack here and China appears to be working with population growth quite well. This last bit is where the llama goes.
In the belly of the almighty sarlac.
I am not Chinese. While my parents were born overseas, I am not and neither are my siblings.
I understand that and wasn't saying you were. Just asking if you have ever considered it? Many anglos seem to love "returning" in a similar fashion and connecting with their roots.
Do you think that matters to the current government and their habit of deporting residents of "undesirable character", back to countries they've never set foot in in their life.
Some very unflattering shots of her going nuts. Could she be deported instead but seems like a cruel punishment to the good Chinese of the world.
Another Coalition liability (but unfortunately not limited to them) and fuel to the pollies (egocentric) behaving badly argument.
My parents have portugese passports, and yes there have been talks of moving there for retirement. I can't speak the language and don't really associate with the culture, so no.
Sorry I thought you had previously said they had moved here from China.
I like nandos, does that count? Anyways this thread is not about me, I think we've gone OT far enough lol. My money on the next election is even more swing towards the minorities - largely due to population issues.
