Re: BCA Call For More Workers Doesn't Add Up
I'm beginning to think you actually believe that. Positive about what? Oh, you mean over loading Australia with mass migration. Well that is simply wrong. Not only wrong but totally unnecessary.
I think a lot was about yourself. You'd hardly call your posts looking out for the benefit of humanity.
Melbourne gangs? Most likely born here. As such not immigrants. As you know there are not the jobs. More skilled migrants working in petrol stations, cleaning, bus driving, security, an d the rest, hardly benefits the migrant and certainly does not benefit the country. I suppose if they are being under paid though, it will benefit the employer.

Ever heard of communication, creativity, outside the box thinking? That's what the interviewer wants.
Remind me again why we don't want population growth that comes with the "right" type of immigration?
Oh yes it was:
1. Too scared a skilled immigrant will take your job or make you improve your ability in what you do, ultimately lifting the standard for everyone else.
2. Too scared a skilled immigrant will buy property, increasing prices (apparently they have money) preventing you from getting on the property ladder.
3. Too scared a skilled immigrant will accept a lower salary and in turn reduce yours. Kind of doesn't work that way with point 2.
4. Under the false illusion governments have stopped building tunnels, roads, bridges, schools, and new suburbs and you aren't going to be able to get to work in the mornings.
Has that covered it?

Too scared in times of economic crisis those happy to privatise the gains developed around plentiful immigration to be paid at cheap rates, will be cut lose socialising the cost on everybody else for starters.
Simply fact as you have been informed with repetition we do not need record immigration.
Government is so far behind the ball in infrastructure it will never catch up with the numbers flocking into Australia's two main cities.
Again it doesn't make the pie larger, it just means the pieces get smaller as much be shared among ever more.
Living standards fall as demands on hospitals, roads, schools, housing are compromised due to excessive demand.
Which country in the world has improved quality of life due to record immigration? Most want to cut theirs in the developing world as the strain on recourses are insupportable.
Some European countries want to increase populations but that is due to declining numbers. Australia was never in the league of Germany, Italy ,Japan in population decline. Neither as many aged.
The rush for world leading population growth is for mostly selfish reasons, although a greater vibe will likely occur over time, livening up Australia's fairly dull urban spread, the consequences of rapid growth happening nowhere else needs to be heavily weighed up.
The point being having thousands upon thousands of migrants working in jobs well below their education levels just to create a passive work force, easily to exploit for unscrupulous employers being?

There's the resentment against business rearing its ugly head again. It must have done bad things to you.

Re: BCA Call For More Workers Doesn't Add Up
Yes that clown Bob Carr and his other Labor jokers let Sydney go. Thank goodness they are well and truly gone and the Libs have created the biggest infrastructure boom we have ever seen. In Australia that's currently $19 billion worth of projects and growing. Sydney will catch up easily, not sure how the other state Labor governments are going. Probably looking backward rather than forwards as per usual.
Yes it does. Just like a mining boom boosted salaries in Perth, the infrastructure boom is doing the same in Sydney and Melbourne. Hence why I previously told you competent staff are nearly impossible to find locally. You see I am the man on the ground, you are not, still languishing in Perth's former glories. Don't worry though, mining is cautiously picking back up.
Of course. Governments have stopped building hospitals, roads, schools, housing. This is where your argument comes completely unstuck because we all know the boom is on.
Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, United States of America, .... shall I go on?
Yes Japan has never like immigration and look at the hole they are in
Sounds good to me. The rush of your lowering of population is also for selfish reasons, which are far more evident and easier to expose than a growing population requirement.

Last thing we need is another boom. This state has little future if mining is the only thing going for it outside of the constant boom/bust cycle.
The Lib's hand was forced. Of course they had to create an infrastructure boom, well after the horse had bolted, as the city was inundated with incomers and ever growing strain on facilities. It will not stop Sydney's growing social divide and ugliness likely to arrive from that.
Glad you mentioned New Zealand. They too are growing rapidly in immigration but the new government there has recognised the fact and apparently intends to take action.
USA? Really nothing to look at there. You likely would love Australia to follow such a path. Just amazing that you refer to yourself as a positive person. America is an example of a failing state in many aspects with regards to treatment of its people. Not a place any Australian should want this nation to emulate. I agree in general. The Anglo sphere world has all been following very flawed model over past decades to which the results are coming home to roost.
Well no. The intent to maintain population numbers or at least a minimal rise can hardly be called selfish. It allows for a system to remain rather more functional providing for and protecting for the needs of the people of that country, purely than the wishes and wants of borderless corporations that don't give a fig for national coherence besides the right to with hold tax and access to a plentiful supply of replaceable workers at whim.

Yes Sydney's geography doesn't lend itself well to people of similar economic standings living together. There is only a small portion of coastline where people can live, bounded by national park to the south and a river to the north, and everyone wants to live near the coast in Australia.
The city as it started wasn't far from the coast and all roads and train lines head toward that. It grew from there as cities do.
Part of the plan is to straighten those rail lines north and south to make medium speed commuting possible (currently its slow speed as it winds it way through hilly terrain) allowing more people to live on the coast and at the same time having 3 coastal cities accessible in a commute (4 if you include the central coast).
It is also planned to create further hubs in Sydney's west with transport links aiding those.
Check it out for yourself.
https://future.transport.nsw.gov.au/...out-this-plan/
and the projects currently happening and the future ones.
https://future.transport.nsw.gov.au/...e-initiatives/
Should be a good 30 years of work to do. Jump on board ..... choo choooo .... oh wait, somewhere down the track we may get a Labor government to screw all that up.

Re: BCA Call For More Workers Doesn't Add Up
Yep. Make hay while the sun shines. That's how farmers work. Nothing wrong with that. In fact, anyone moving for a better job is doing the same. That's life.
Of course it was forced. Years of neglect from Carr and clowns.

Really, NZ, USA, Australia, and the UK to varying degrees not built on the back of immigrants? Give me a break.
You seem to forget, that the plentiful supply of workers also benefit from a plentiful supply of jobs. Not our fault if you are stuck in a career without the desire to move.

You remain completely deluded I'm afraid. No explanation ever as to why Australia must run a record immigration intake. Nothing at all. Your not in the canvas/caravan business are you? Seems you have an admiration for others camping out but clueless as to how the over loading of Australia's main cities will be of benefit to anyone besides stake holders of assorted tastes.
An over supply of workers benefit no one but those whom exploit the fact. It will keep GDP appearing high with added spending from incomers setting up, but figures show others not spending.
Give yourself a break and present with slightly something more high brow than commenting that Australia, New Zealand etc were built on immigration. Are you incapable of argument other than wish washy stuff as that?
The argument IS NOT to cease immigration. The argument is to slow immigration. Nothing more than a return to normal historic rates and build infrastructure that has been sadly neglected in this country over time. We are not in boom times and Employment Australia, again I return you to POST 1 has stated Australia does not have a job shortage. Those areas which main well need staff would be amply catered for in a return to normal rates of immigration of about 100,000 a year.
There is no reason for Australia's population to have a growth level above many developing world countries and way above Western countries.

Hold on.
The main sector of migration growth has been in skilled migration, overseas students, and the Humanitarian Program
https://www.aph.gov.au/About_Parliam...tionStatistics
Skilled migrants add to the economy as they pay tax. They put in more than they take out.
Overseas students add to the economy by paying whopping great fees, rent, etc. They are not eligible for welfare.
The Humanitarian Program. Ok lets say some add to the economy when they get work but many struggle upon arrival. But being nice we will let that fly.
Which one shall we choose?

Re: BCA Call For More Workers Doesn't Add Up
Your information in post 1 is incorrect. Many sectors are suffering skills shortages as I have pointed out. Even the government has attempted to tighten the reigns on skills not needed, and help where they are. I posted you a link previously to where the shortages are. If you choose to ignore, your fault not mine.

When the prospect of remaining in Australia became difficult some years back, numbers dropped. The big attraction is as I said be able to claim PR. Australian education is not rated that highly in comparison with USA and UK.
They can of course purchase houses when in Australia and not PR.
As I have written you make no argument what so ever on why Australia is running a record population policy not occurring in any other country.
Reason being of course is because there is no justification in overwhelming services, roads, housing ..
Todays West Australian headlines listed the blow out rates in waiting time of years to get to ascertain if an operation is even necessary. Let alone perform the actual operation. Not forgetting we are not any longer a big migration receiving state.
But you carry on waving the flag for lower living standards all round but one may wonder the reason you left your country of origin if advocating much the same over crowed, under funded, socially divided country increasingly similar to the one you left.

Love cities and crowds just don't go on pathetic responses which just goes towards further undermining any ability to discuss.
Go live in a real city if you like them so much. Sydney at such density levels hardly meets that criteria. But that is something completely void of over loading a city for the short term goal of a few.

Re: BCA Call For More Workers Doesn't Add Up
To help you along the road to understanding away from the insanity of your present 'welttanschauung' 'view of the world' in this case over loading immigration into cities a few facts for you to chew over.
Of 256,504 migrants aged between 25 to 34 whom immigrated to Australia and whom had DEGREE Level and ABOVE qualifications between the years 2011 to 2016, only 24% of those with such qualifications from non English speaking nations, manage to obtain employment in their area of expertise.
The figure for those from English speaking countries, came in higher at 58.8% higher but hardly worthy of crowing about.
The FACT remains Australia needs to REDUCE its immigration intake for the sake of incomers and those here longer, in order to maintain Living Standards....
