By Ross Elliott, published 27/5/2020

The global response to the impact of the Coronavirus seems consistent in at least one respect: everything we previously took for granted is now up for grabs.

Correction, change for the better should read, prevent change for the better! Getting a lot of unwanted, editorial help? Some of seemingly, post, post?

"On both sides of politics, the idea of rapid immigration driving population growth is off the table for some time."

If only that were true. Responding to Keneally, SMH 5 May, Morrison said we should revert to 160-210K net migration. Still extremely high, for postwar history.

At least he responded openly, unlike the shirker Albanese. But one may safely assume that whatever Morrison does, Albanese will just go #MeToo.

There will be a more desperate need than ever for high immigration numbers.

The propaganda arm of Government (and the media, slavishly following its preferred ideology), will quickly quell the anti-Chinese voice of the Au people.

It seems obvious to me, this will follow an existing trend where HK will increasingly feature as the underdog in need of a new home. Why will the developing situation be any different?

When the exponential growth in the corona virus cases, establishes itself at the logistical level, immigration will again exponentially increase.

A position such as that, will lower the fear factor in the community, a factor which brings with it a healthy xenophobic reaction against Chinese, and will automatically tie itself back into a lovely multicultural phantasy which existed prior to the virus.
At that point, it's business as usual.

Dear Ross Elliott,

Could you please give us some examples or maybe a case study?

Mr Opinion.

Hello.

Best of luck looking for an honest answer from this grubby and greed obsessed real estate investor.
