I agree with thinkabit.

When you think about it white adult males in work are a minority group, & a shrink one at that. This is an even smaller minority when you restrict it to those in productive work.

I think we need a major welfare effort to support this endangered species. Once they go, there will be no more welfare for anyone.

onthebeach, a 2.6% annual growth rate is not at all incredible when you consider at a large proportion of the Aboriginal population live in underpopulated areas (where people do tend to breed at a higher rate). And because evryone with Aboriginal ancestry is Aboriginal but they're still a small minority of Australia's population, a rate of natural increase nearly double that of the general population is only to be expected.

Your ZPG claim is not a fact at all. The birthrates in the general population stopped falling and started rising when the Baby Bonus was introduced. And it is high house prices, not taxes, that are deterring people from starting families.

It is not people's race that's responsible for the democratic traditions, the Westminster system of government and Australian law. And all races are being diluted over time, but only racists think that's a problem.

I'll comment on solutions later.

Thinkabit, think you've hit the nail on the head. How much fairer could a system be than that.

My own brother in law is 1/32nd, on his mothers side and his five kids all received abstudy. They have to be kidding! Any wonder they are such a welfare dependent group.

Aidan,

You would be the only person who wouldn't regard an average increase of 2.6% per annum as high even by Third World standards, and it is a long period.

The rest of your post is equally ridiculous.

You make things up as your go.

onthebeach, I didn't say the rate wasn't high, I said it wasn't incredible and I stand by that claim.

What sort of rate would you expect fo a minority ethnicity with a shorter average lifespan than the general population?
