I like that pick, mhaze. It's a perfect illustration of the effects of isolation, and what happens to a continent when non-isolated cultures end that isolation.

Two Labor politicians, O'Neil and Bowen, paid tribute to India's Republic Day. Both have electorates with lots of ex-Indian citizens of course; but surely, that wouldn't get them any more votes from constituents who have chosen to leave India and become Australian citizens.

Depends on what they promised each other !

Maybe we should just change Australia Day, to Israel Day since both sides of Parliament seem to get down on their knees and present.
Take the Union Jack off the flag and put a Star of David on it instead. Might as well recognise what we are rather than pretending we're something we're not.

Otherwise, NO ZIONIST OCCUPIED GOVERNANCE.

"If, as some third-rate economists claim, that immigrants are preferable to birth because they are working age ready to go, why are there more than 300,000 job vacancies despite uncontrolled, mass immigration so loved by the uniparty?"

Economists think money, just like the religious think scripture and a cricketer things batting average.

That also means they didn't grow up here and always have memories of their REAL homeland, they don't go to school here, are connect to it in their youth and don't grasp Australia from an early age but come when their worldview is already defined and entrenched, and send some of their money out of the country where it can't continue to circulate within the country..

"why are there more than 300,000 job vacancies" Full employment definition;

"Full employment means the highest level of jobs possible without causing high inflation, where everyone willing and able to work can find a job, though it doesn't mean zero unemployment because frictional (between jobs) and structural unemployment always exist. It's an economic goal where labour resources are fully utilised, creating a balance where wages and prices grow steadily, supporting low, stable inflation."

Immigration does not take care of employment completely, if there is a shortage of say doctors, then the "skills" aspect of immigration has to be adjusted to attract doctors. Unfortunately Australia is not the only country seeking skilled migrants.

In Australia we have too many old farts drawing undeserved welfare payments in the form of Aged Pensions. Once the Seniors National Service scheme is introduced these malingers will be put to work. Appropriate work of course, I'm sure anyone under the age of 90 can do a spot of road repair, scrub clearing, home duties for the more deserving of us.
