Philip S,

"If half were already here then that means the statement "Net migration was 245,400 people over the past 12 months" is false as they migrated prior to that according to you."

No that's not what it means at all. It means the of the new permanent residents about 90K were already here and 100000 were new arrivals. Therefore about 145000 were new non-permanent residents at the time of calculation. Approximately 800000 non-permanent resident visas are issued yearly but those people generally stay for periods less than a year.

" it could also be the figures are misleading, inaccurate, or incomplete"

Good to see that you've dropped the 'lie' silliness.

"Also if the figures are so accurate why do you use the term "about half" where did you get that from?"

Its 'about half' because the proportion changes each year. In 2016 it was 91000 or so. I got the number from the Immigration dept website

"The Great Immigration Non-debate

If the only justification for sky-high immigration is it’s “good for the economy”, it is a policy fundamentally flawed. Judged through the prism of existing citizens' interests, there is no economic case that can justify the transformative changes current policies are inflicting.
..
With a sustained high rate of immigration, largely from non-Western sources, the makeup of the population is changing profoundly and, if present trends continue, it’s fairly safe to assume that Australia will become a “majority-minority” country at some point this century.

This dramatic shift is already occurring in our heavily migrant-impacted megalopolises, Sydney and Melbourne, where recently-arrived groups are able to wield disproportionate and growing social and political influence, while the more traditional Australian outer suburban, regional and rural areas are increasingly marginalised.

For a country which once prided itself on the “crimson thread of kinship” and fiercely sought to protect its cohesiveness, the ongoing transmutation of Australia into a kaleidoscope of diasporic communities – most with shallow roots in this land and little connection to each other – is extraordinary and represents a bold social experiment on a colossal scale."

So what does this all equate to:
- At least one Muslim in Melbourne and Sydney losing the plot and committing attacks on innocents every week...
Yay up there for thinking Australia

Armchair Critic - Quote "- At least one Muslim in Melbourne and Sydney losing the plot and committing attacks on innocents every week"

You forget Victoria has nearly an everyday problem with gangs of Africans committing crimes of theft and violence.

3 recent ones.
200 youths went on rampage at Melbourne's St Kilda beach.

Andrew Dixon was just thirty seconds away from his parked car when a gang confronted him in Flemington, in Melbourne’s north west.
He'd been out on a Monday night and was walking along Holland Court, when a group of men of African appearance approached him after emerging from commission housing.

One offender kicked Mr Dixon viciously across his body and he fell to the ground. He was then punched and kicked repeatedly in the head.

Police were called home at Attunga Grove in Werribee at 3.30am Wednesday
Officers were pelted with rocks while trying to break up the out-of-control party Africans again

They would be 'misunderstood boys' and it is 'all society's fault'.

The mess Australia is in at the momemt is down to an aging population caused in part by the immigration increase of end 60's start 70's. Australia should let it run its course. When the aged population has died there will be plenty of houses,jobs and resources for the next generation.

Oz youth already here should be encouraged with policies to increase births. If a couple two are replaced by their two children or less (where the trends moving) we will never get out of the aged population. Those aussie single women (whatever their ethnicity)that want to stay home and just have babies should be encouraged to do exactly that. That way we won't have to import the next generations.

We are not a successful multicultural country. We're racist and sexist. If this country is going to succeed in this millenium we need to have a home made generation. We need a parliament that really reflects the demographics. White collar white male viewpoints are just giving a bland whitewashed load of policies.
