Re: NSW Treasurer Calls For Migration Cuts
Most tourists these days, especially Asian, are not concerned much with the beach. They want shopping, buzz, culture and/or outback with the chance to take selfies with some 'cute' Aussie animals.
Perth beaches are 'pretty good' providing one arrives before the wind sets in and sand blows, which is often the case late morning. Probably more North European or British back packer enticing anyway.

Probably because they are all at Bondi. Now in terms of beauty Bondi certainly isn't a patch on most beaches in Sydney, however it has a variety of things to do which is what entices so many tourists .... and I mean thousands every day. It's insane the amount of tourists Bondi supports. And it's not windswept and mostly under 30 degrees which helps.
Repetition being something that overwhelms any reality with regards to standard of feature in question.

You said
Then said
Which one is it then? Do Asians like the beach or not? You are getting yourself in a spin.

You never cease to try to catch me out but something , a little faulty with the connected with the thinking mechanism, me thinks. Both are true. Think a bit before attempting to be smart. Asian tourists are taken on tours that include, as in Perth, the beach. That will of course include Bondi in Sydney. As in Perth, it usually means, a few selfies or group photos, fully attired. Perhaps a quick stroll on the beach then back onto the bus to next destination.

Re: NSW Treasurer Calls For Migration Cuts
There are schemes in place in the community and at schools to attempt to educate, newly arrived immigrants/refugees from less sea exposed lands , of dangers posed. A number of Afghani, as an example, have fallen foul to large waves, while rock fishing on WA South Coast, over recent years, with the occasional death and several lucky rescues.
Yes Indians have been victims as well. It was only a week after we visited Penguin Island, that two Indian men, part of a family group, sadly drowned, attempting to cross from mainland to island walking. I recall wanting to walk the crossing myself, but others in my party deferred. It is reasonably safe, if keep to the path and don't stray, nor attempt it on high tide.
Not examples of beach drowning's as such, but shows further the vulnerability of certain groups with in the community.
Last beach drowning, I'm aware of in WA, was that of a young Irish WHV fellow that was taken in a rip at Scarborough Beach , perhaps three years back. His brother and another countryman were rescued from same rip, but he sadly perished on the beach.

Of course, but considering everything, some decent English surfers as well. One I seem to recall, reached very high rankings. Cornwall of course has Newquay as a surfing HQ. I knew fellows once, that surfed close to Scarborough in Yorks. Don't recall the beach, something Sand, I think.

Numerous Chinese claim searchers, infamously perished some years back, due to encroaching tides, I think in the north of England, some decade ago. Paid a pittance , I believe, in the slave trade.

Re: NSW Treasurer Calls For Migration Cuts
Not sure what a claim searcher is, you've lost me there, but I can assure you they were not "slaves" as the UK does not have a slave trade these days. They were not well paid, and were working illegally, but to call them "slaves" is a misuse of the term.
