They wanted immigrants because it was good for the economy and the aging population.

Now the immigrants have brought the bloody rona;
The economy is completely stuffed and the aging population are dying in the beds by the droves.

What brilliant foresight, 3 cheers for the idiots...

Victoria, Australia

BACKGROUND

Victoria’s population is among the fastest growing and most multicultural in Australia, forged by successive waves of immigration. Victoria’s greatest assets are its open, accepting and diverse society. By international comparisons, Victoria is one of the world’s most successful and cohesive multicultural nations and is frequently recognised as one of the world’s most liveable cities. Figures from the 2016 census showed that more than one in four Victorians reported being born overseas and nearly half (49%) of all Australians Victorians were either born outside Australia or had at least one parent born outside Australia. People from all over the world have chosen to make Victoria their home, bringing with them their experience, their heritage and their culture.

NATIONAL OVERVIEW

Australia is a federation of six states and two mainland territories, with three tiers of government, comprising national, state/territory and local. The national, state and territory governments work closely together under a national framework approach to prevent and counter violent extremism (PVE and CVE). Formal cooperation mechanisms include an overarching national committee and working groups addressing particular PVE and CVE priorities which enable the sharing of information, resources and expertise. At the same time, under our federal structure, each level of government is able to adopt and implement approaches to PVE and CVE that meet local needs and priorities.

"All of us Victorians, and indeed all Australians, have to accept that terrorism is a part of Contemporary Australia."

Meanwhile in Taiwan with no lockdowns except the infected and vulnerable only 7 deaths. But of course those suffering TDS have to continue to change the 'facts' to fit their deranged narrative. Morrison will be shown to have made the most stupid decision of the century by teaming up with socialist and in Victoria's case the most incompetent Premier and Health officials in the country. Oh for a Trump here in Australia.

mhaze,
>Nero was falsely accused of fiddling while Rome burned
Violins hadn't been invented back then, but who's to say he wasn't doing another kind of fiddling?

>and falsely accused of starting the fire. Of course the accusations were
>made by people who didn't know what the hell they were talking about.
Though he didn't personally start the fire (and was out of Rome at the time) it's more likely to have been done on his orders than not. Nero had the most to gain from the fire, as it cleared the way for his grand rebuilding of Rome. And who else could have prevented the fire fighters from putting it out? Nero blamed the Christians, but they had no apparent motive for the burning of Rome, and it's unlikely the fire fighters would have complied if it was the Christians who had instructed them not to intervene.

Not everything a dehumanised (pussy groping) Trump does is unethical or deranged? He has it would seem, lifted a decades-long prohibition on MSR thorium. And now the US Atomic agency is front and centre with new R+D. Why, they even gave one of MSR thorium's top experts a job and premier role heading up the thorium R+D department. None other that long time thorium activist and expert, (former NASA) scientist and nuclear technologist, Kirk Sorensen.

One still recalls Trump's activities, ineptitude and evocations as the State of NY was burying its covid-19 dead in mass graves, a la the scences of Europe and the Great plague?

Or war before W.W. 1. When the dead, men and horses were buried in mass graves then covered with quick lime before the soil was returned, covering them.

Some OLO posters clearly believe that would be an appropriate outcome in Vic? Given they would put Unca Don in charge, if they had their druthers?
