"Dick Smith throws $1m behind call for reduced immigration”

“Endless growth will destroy Australia as we know it today,” Mr Smith said of his motive for the campaign..

“It is simply endless growth and endless greed – meaning the finite wealth has to be divided between more people, and that means less for most,” Mr Smith said..

“Eight out of ten Australians I talk to want a proper population plan, but no major political party reflects this. They are so obsessed with pleasing the 1% who have all the money that the greed overruns all,” Mr Smith said.

Mr Smith will also hand out toy pitchforks to warn of the violent “revolution” if no action is taken."

personally I am in favour of being more selective in immigration. The country has lots of room to share for those who want to build and contribute. Weed out those who are coming here for welfare.

Big business and politicians have lied for so long about the illusory benefits of mass immigration that many people actually believe the nonsense. It is costing each one of us big time. Immigration is just a lazy way of boosting the GDP. A quick look at the GPD per capita shows what a con it is. There is ample proof of the immigration lie to be seen in smaller, richer countries than Australia. Scandinavia comes easily to mind. And, let's wake up to this "ageing population" crap; it's a pathetic excuse involving non-stop tail chasing as immigrants themselves age. Japan with it's virtually nil immigration and ageing population is still doing very well - and without the multicultural turmoil we have here. We have the highest per capita immigration rate in the world.

As well as tighten incoming immigration there should be a concerted focus on getting rid of the low lifers who have come as refugees but have resorted to criminal activities.

I must say the present Government is doing this but is hampered by tribunals.
