Sorry, Bazz, you've lost me:) What did I say was BS, and what is the connection with oil wells and immigration?

ttbn errr how about this;

Hi Bazz,

What say we just put the lights out and close the door.
With BS like that from Shell and Mobil, the West is going to look like the Middle East - the poor backward bits of it.

ttbn, you asked ;
"What is the connection between oil wells and immigration ?"

Actually, everything. Electricity has a direct connection as 300,000
people will consume that much extra power when we are already in short supply.
We are increasing demand faster than we can build new generation.
Catch, we are not building exra supply yet.

As for fuels the cost will escalate and become more vulnerable to interruption.
We import over 90% of our usage.
More people more demand on oil supply.
Why do you think the oil companies are looking for the way out ?

Aidan,
So far you have not put up one practical thing, except to show your non support for one new coal mine. Yet that mine will employ thousands and be good for the economy. Again, how do we build infastructure or businesses that do not impact the enviroment?

Nothing on any infastructure? We cannot get the funds to build the inland railway from Melbourne to Brisbane, as proposed for years,and a fast train has been shown as uneconomic. How do we get the funds for other projects and what are they?

Unless you can put up some practical matters it appears your posts are just talk, with no substance.

Bazz,

Yes, I wrote that; still don't see how your comments are relevant. And, electricity is part of the infrastructure is it not? In fact, infrastructure covers the lot – no special mention needed.

Peta Credlin talking to Andrew Bolt.

Credlin said that immigration numbers are not decided by talking to real people about how many people they want to see living in their cities; our carrying capacity isn't discussed; nor are our resources. It's “about Scott Morrison's bottom line when he talks about the growth number in the budget......Ordinary people are shut-out of the debate and (there is) no plan”.

Credlin has been “inside the room” when population numbers are talked about and there is no “considered analysis”; “no thought about where these people are going to live and how they are going to integrate”.

Bolt said that it is a “fraud” because the gains to the federal government and the costs are borne by the states; and we have to “share the goodies among more people”. We have seen over many years no that, “per person” our living standards are decreasing as immigration “goes through the roof”. He described it as a “Ponzi scheme”.

Credlin agree: “It's a fraud”. She also believes that the Turnbull government is “committing political suicide” by not addressing the issue of mass immigration.
