Infrastructure deficit impossible to fix without tackling population growth : Comments

By William Rutan, published 23/1/2020

Australia's population is expanding by around 400,000 people annually - the equivalent of adding another Canberra-worth of people every 12 months.

Organized crime is cheaper and easier than going to college. My cousin Wendy gave all her money to organized crime when she was diagnosed with cancer. About 50 million USD in total.

Hand-eye co-ordination decreases as we age.
Ayame Tan,
At 18 ? Have you ever heard of the phenomenon called learning ? Such as learning a skill by enhancing natural aptitude etc ?
Although I do wonder at times when I look at young people walking without taking their eyes off the phone & oblivious to common sense.
There is a mentality deficit, particularly but definitely not limited to those on the Left with
Indiscriminate breeding being one of the side-effects. A National Service would rapidly bring enlightenment to that Demographic.
Try to work out what you're good for & let us know !

Individual, what does that have to do with what I said? It seems that YOU are unwilling to learn. Like many conservatives (and religious folk).

"IT is not surprising that profound changes occur in the human perceptual-motor system with advancing age. Declines in the visual, proprioceptive, motor, and central nervous systems have been documented in earlier studies (Bondareff 1985; Fozard 1990; Kenshalo 1977; Spirduso and MacRae 1990). As an important perceptual-motor function, eye-hand coordination is not spared from the effects of aging; examples of age-related modifications of this function include delays in reaction time and movement time, decreased accuracy in reaching–aiming movement, decreased steadiness in the nonpreferred hand, decreased manual dexterity, and reduced speed in writing digits and words (Birren and Botwinick 1951; Chaput and Proteau 1996; Miles 1931; Welford 1977). Because these studies focused on age-related changes in eye-hand coordination under undistorted visual conditions, their scope is limited. Human eye-hand coordination is characterized by a remarkable ability to adapt to sensory modifications (Held and Freedman 1963; Welch 1978). When exposed to an optical distortion, individuals quickly readjust their eye-hand coordinative patterns and function normally under such a new visual environment. Such adaptability has been documented in a plethora of studies on prism adaptation (Harris 1963; Hay and Pick 1966; Held and Hein 1958; Helmholtz 1925; Redding and Wallace 1993). However, because the majority of studies were conducted on younger adults, it is not clear whether principles thus derived can directly extrapolate to older adults (aged 65 and over). To date, little information is available about how aging may affect adaptability of the perceptual-motor system."

what does that have to do with what I said?
Ayame Tan,
Everything ! Who was actually talking about old people ? You ! I'm interested in getting the young morons, druggies & otherwise useless off the street & expose them to alternatives !
Young people need guidance & hope not indoctrination with saturation pessimism !
Their parents have failed because of "democratic freedom" & "individual Rights" being pushed by academic social "experts" & we really don't want the next generation get as bad, do we ?
We can't afford any more hangers-on breeding more hangers-on.

Most retirees don't work full-time. Are they "worthless" in your eyes? I hope not.

Young people need QUALIFICATIONS to get decent jobs.

Thank you for showing your true colors. You only care about your own civil rights. Just like a typical conservative.

Ayame Tan et al,
National Service is not for old people, it's for young unemployed either homeless or aimless !
