It's quite simple,

if you have nothing to offer we don't want you.

If you don't wish to assimilate, we don't want you.

If you can't accept our ways, or wish to change our ways, we don't want you.

If you wish to have children we won't support them if you don't support them.

If you want free medical, you can only draw what you have paid in Medicare for the first five years of being here and you must have medical insurance.

The reality is that thanks in large to the previous Rudd government, we are now depriving our own residents, many being tax payers, of resources so we simply can no longer support passengers.

Finally, if you have some religious or spiritual beliefs, leave them behind because we don't support radicalism or any religion/faith that supports extremists such as the Muslim faith.

Imitating to the likes of Australia should be a privilege not a given right.

Whatever you do, don't bother to use facts Philip S.

>>Lets not forget the fresh water problem, we are having to install expensive desalination plants in or near most major cities.<<

You are of course referring to these, are you not?

You are also conveniently ignoring the facts relating to the impact of immigration policy on our country's prosperity, which has been uniformly positive for the past two hundred years.

But why bother with facts when you have a dog-whistle, eh.

Suze, as sad as it is that so many Aficans are being displaced, the often uncomfortable reality is, they can't help themselves because despite there being little chance of housing, feeding and caring for their offspring, they simply won't stop breeding.

As our global population surges toward 9 billion, someone at some stage must decide to remove aid from those who won't help themselves and I know that's a terrible thing to say but the truth can't always be nice.

Butch,
Yes even if we tripled out population it would not assist the world population.

Iran and Thailand have demonstrated that birthrates can be significantly lowered by government sponsored family planning and the provision of the means to do so. Both these countries lowered their birthrates from 6 per woman to less than 2 per woman. Just google family planning in Iran and Thailand for full story.

This is what the UN should be promoting and funding on a massive scale. Especially in the countries prone to famine.

rehctub, when people can't be confident their children will survive to produce grandchildren, they tend to have much bigger families to increase the chance that some of them will. It may sound cruel but humans probably couldn't've survived this long if it wasn't true.

I guess all thinking people know that those who have no argument to use often start talking about others dog-whistle.

I saw some figures recently that showed that all immigration since WW11 has been uniformly positive for the immigrants, just a negative for the existing population.

Banjo, your about 30 years too late with this suggestion, but it is worth shouting from the roof tops every day, until heard & acted upon
