Government sponsored slums are the only answer to start the fix the of the growing numbers of White unhoused Australians; you’ll never see black and MENA trash living on the streets, all comfortably housed in Government sponsored social housing, grinning away!

I’m losing patience with this nit picking author, with no idea of the real problem!

There is a sure-fire way to solve the problem: stop mass immigration, foreign students, and deport useless non-citizens.

Decentralision won't do it. Small, peaceful communities don't want their lives ruined by multiculturalism. And, ignorant Third World peasants have nothing needed in the countryside. And, you would need a lot of them to survive because they don't speak English, and they don't assimilate.

Just because country folk accept all the hardships imposed on them by all governments - lack of just about available to city slickers - doesn't mean that they would tolerate the foreign invasion envisioned by geniuses who have never been anywhere these alien intruders.

Cutting immigration to that which is vital to Australia - not to immigrants themselves - and clearing out the rubbish already here, is the only way to fix things in a country mis-ruled by self-serving arseholes.

Not with the recent & present Immigration policies !

Actually, there might be a chance to solve that problem if people stopped voting Labor, Teal & Green.

WTF?

ttbn states: "doesn't mean that they would tolerate the foreign invasion envisioned by geniuses who have never been anywhere these alien intruders."

Once again ttbn's opinion is completely opposite of what is happening in the real world.

In April this year, Port Hedland Mayor Peter Carter, chair of Regional Capitals Australia (RCA), a peak body formed in 2012 to represent 51 regional hubs including Geelong, Wagga Wagga and Townsville said the following: the " RCA is calling for urgent reforms to immigration settings to better funnel new arrivals to regional areas...".

There were 65,000 job vacancies outside of the five major capitals Australia in February, according to the Regional Australia Institute.

“In Broome they were advertising for a barista for $100,000 a year,” Mr Carter said.

So it appears that regional Australia do want and would welcome increased immigration numbers to their regions.

I live Forster, on the mid north coast NSW. It's a nice beach town.
But finding a GP is a major drama - 4-6 weeks wait. All the podiatrists are booked up for months. For specialists it's either wait 6 months or a 2 hour drive to Newcastle or Port Macquarie.

We've had enough - we're moving to a big city.

Indyvidual,

Yes. But I would add the Liberals to the-do-not-vote list; they are so little different from Labor.

John Howard dragged the immigrants in: even though he said we would make the choice as to whom they were. Since then, Liberal Leaders have drifted to the Left. The current one is pathetic.

I won't presume to tell other people how to vote, but as a conservative/right winger, One Nation is my first choice, with the major parties on the bottom. It might take a while for the majority to catch on to what the two-party system is doing to them but, if there is any sense left in them at all, change will eventually occur.

.. regional Australia do want and would welcome increased immigration numbers ...

WTF? - Not Again,
Either you're not quoting the Mayor fully or he's not allowed to state which immigrants the'd need & preferred ! I'm certain that the locals would need to have a say about that.

WTF?

Indyvidual states: "Either you're not quoting the Mayor fully or he's not allowed to state which immigrants the'd need & preferred."

I'm sure the Mayor is smart enough to know the countries of origin of immigrants to Australia. He makes it clear that regional Australia wants the current immigrants.

Yes I've quoted the Mayor directly and he has much more to say about it and you can easily find this if you want to. He clearly states which immigrants they need and prefer.

Why would he "not be allowed" to say that?

This is just another example where evidence dumps ignorant opinion into the rubbish bin where it belongs.

Why would he "not be allowed" to say that?
Yes, WTF? - Not Again, is the correct answer to that.

Sure, WTF, you can always find successful case-studies of migration into regions. But fundamentally, 70% live in the big cities, 40% live in Sydney and Melbourne, and 2/3 of Albanese's massive 400-500K immigration always gravitate to Sydney and Melbourne. Decentralisation is a myth.

By ignoring these facts, the author of this article is just pleasuring himself, and making the problem worse. Even woke Canada has turned its back on open-borders mass-migration, but not stupid Australia.

Steve S,
I think you've missed my point. Most Australians are aware that too few immigrants move to regional areas and there does not seem to be any policy moves to address this.

My response was to highlight to a regular poster, ttbn, that "Small, peaceful communities don't want their lives ruined by multiculturalism" is totally not supported by factual information available to anyone willing to find out.

And also "doesn't mean that they would tolerate the foreign invasion".

These are just emotive responses that do not help move this discussion forward.

This is an opinion discussion site. Opinions, however, should be based on factual information and I have provided factual information to ttbn to totally debunk his emotive opinion.

The reality is that regional areas want immigrants to move there for a whole range of reasons. Regional areas can only do so much to encourage migration. The failings of successive governments to address this issue does not devalue the desire of these regions to embrace new immigrants to their towns and cities.

What percentage of "migrants" pull their weight within 12 months ? Let's just look at the 35,000 that arrived this last June. How many got straight as a die onto Welfare & how many are already employed & are not sending their money overseas where it doesn't do Australia any good whatsoever.
Going by the News clips, a large percentage of those "migrants" attend protests instead of jobs or classes. Who pays them & for what ? Would those country communities welcome them with open arms ?
Of course our resident racists & hypocrites will scream racism again instead of offering explanation.
I know the answers, I'd just like to hear what stories the ignorant & the deceitful conjure up again !

I don't think that immigrants stay in regions, even if they are forced to go to the regions in the governments hope that they will stay, because they only want to exploit the advantages of Australia, and not contribute. Why would someone from a different culture want to contribute to a foreign culture that they don't relate to? If the government didn't deconstruct society according to their own unmandated ideologies, then maybe the kids would come back to the towns after qualifying in a profession in the city, better yet let them qualify in the towns. The government needs to have a better understanding of the lifecycle of professionals and supporting the lifecycle of the town and the professionals that are needed to support it, or better still let the locals do it, let them receive a proportion of the tax money, which is probably the local communities anyway, let them have apprentice doctors , rather than university ones that spend too long in the classroom, for the benefit of the academic abstractionist class not answerable to the real world. As Bob Whittacker said in "Why Johnny Can't Think- America's Professor Priesthood". The universities want to control the professional class that is why they don't want the professions to be trained through a decentralized apprentice system.

Every culture needs their own nation. Multiculturalism is genocide as it disenfranchises the ethnic culture from the territory and the institutions that they founded- in this case the territory founded by the people of the British Isles consisting of the English, Scottish, Welsh, Irish. Take away cultural institutions and you destroy the culture and create slaves occupied by invaders. It's better to be racist than dead. We don't need immigrants, we don't want immigrants, the government doesn't listen. Why doesn't the government listen?Doesn't the government work for us?
