Re: BCA Call For More Workers Doesn't Add Up
Well increasingly few listen to you I'm afraid. It is not fear mongering it is fact. What you advocate is allowing the build up of forces highly damaging to the well being of this nation.
There are stats galore out there. Seek them out and enable your
sight insight into the entire picture. Cherry picking rarely useful.

Tell me this. Did Australia suffer declining living standards during the immigration boom of the 50's and 60's? An immigration boom which vastly eclipses the immigration numbers of today.
I thought not. Next?

Re: BCA Call For More Workers Doesn't Add Up
Old Salty, a Big Australia supporter, has jumped ship and called for a reduction in immigration. It appears the vibrancy of Melbourne all too much for him.
What could be the case just as likely, is Bernard Salt detects the way the wind is blowing and it is definitely towards a reduction in immigration intake.
He wants to pre-empt policy change and lay claim to having the 'perception' ahead of forth coming changes.

Already posted for your viewing pleasure. Where's yours? I thought not. Bluff and propaganda as per usual.

Re: BCA Call For More Workers Doesn't Add Up
Another right wing columnist has a piece in todays West Australian, that originally appeared in a Sydney paper against the over loading of immigration and the need to stop. Critics from The Right, coming in thick and fast now.
Only time before at least a token action is taken, but must say, I fear their agenda is not about purely sustainable levels of migration but darker elements forming behind the growing call.
Australia should certainly cut down to sustainable levels, but should never be based around race and a return to the past. Multi cultalralism, I suspect will increasingly be targeted, which was a prime reason I resisted the rather too obvious outcome to prolonged and excessive migration over recent years besides the over loading on services and corrupt practices involved.

Both of which easily eclipse where we are today.
Second time asking. I expect another deflection.
PS. I don't really care if immigration is a small or large number. As has always been the case it should be adapted to suit the needs. Right now we have needs for more and better skills because luddites like yourself are dragging the rest of us down.

Immigration is not serving needs and too large. What is dragging us down is mouth pieces supporting vested interests while the country stumbles.
Posters as above should be noted as only personal interests at heart.

If I had personal interests at heart I would be worried about congestion, cost of living, and ...... it escapes me .... what are the rest of your arguments?

Now the idea is when in class consider the reasons why the difference between then and now with regards migration? I'll check back later.

Reading from the government hymn book again? I'd have thought, even you would have given this lot of practical jokers creating such serious consequences the flick by now. A good little trooper to the last.

Re: BCA Call For More Workers Doesn't Add Up
You cannot expect teacher to come up with every solution to your life queries without at least attempting to put in some own content and thought.
Repeating the official Fed line doesn't get you off the hook.
No not Labour, your usual home of solace, The Right, is fracturing over the matter.
Note yet another 'Australian' columnist Henry Ergas has 'come out' with warnings on high immigration.
Must be getting very lonely in your increasingly isolated position. Oh wait the Morrision bloke is still backing population over load. Remind me the same bloke that fought nail and daggers for no inquiry into banking. Oh hold up, you were one whom constantly defended and riled against my arguments of corrupt banksters will full conviction. Red faced now no doubt.
I can see I'm going to have to help you along the road with what you consider, obviously your killer argument to the whole fiasco of over loaded migration.
So here's to kick off your study. Migration since 1901 (Year of Federation)averaged 73,000 a year up until a dozen years ago.
Past twelve years averaged 220,000 a year. Note the difference?
AS for you infrastructure claims. Yes going great guns isn't it> Parramatta Light Rail blow out and internal squabbles give a pointer why infrastructure should not lag too far behind massive population build up.

Re: BCA Call For More Workers Doesn't Add Up
Bad stat to pull my friend especially when average immigration has been declining ever since.
Makes your whole argument fail again.

Re: BCA Call For More Workers Doesn't Add Up
It must be getting ruddy freezing for you out there on a limb. Argument on each and every topic proved wrong. But you are persistent if nothing else.
Nothing to do with the 2008 mining boom as you put it. As wrote it was the average figure over a dozen year period. Oh to help you along, Melbourne's population grew by 30%. Sydney's by 20% .
May help you along.

Re: BCA Call For More Workers Doesn't Add Up
The propaganda remains entirely with the over load brigade. The tide has well and truly turned though and no play on figures will altar the fact that people know only too well. That being the living standards are in decline, increasingly impossible for citizens to live in desirable, close to amenities suburbs, falling infrastructure that will never address projected population increases not to mention cost blow outs and increased revenue demands on the public purse.
Afraid like the banking financial fiasco I have long brought to attention on this forum, much to your complete denial, the same process is in place. The present incompetents, supposed to be governing the country will be in denial, until facts stare them down, then admit they got it wrong, too late in the day. Damage done.
