Smoke and mirrors with weoponising the 'nebulous' NOM through undefined and expanded definitions e.g. 'immigration' and 'immigrant'.

First the roots are in the old eugenics' movement, then ZPG/ZEG and the Club of Rome to 'appear liberal and environmental'; leveraged by old US energy and auto oligarchs who were not shy about doing business with Nazi Germany.

Permanent immigrants are declining as a proportion of our population while the UN Population Council expanded the definition of NOM in 2006 hence population, by including temporary residents staying 12/16+ months e.g. international students, 2nd year backpackers, NZ'ers and 457s, whose churnover can spike the data.

Further, by describing all as 'immigrants' is both misleading and liable to create alarmist headlines; only a minority of temporary residents are eligible for further temporary visa, fewer PR and fewer again take citizenship.

Temporary net contributors are used to support the tax base for an increasing proportion of retirees e.g. pensions and health care.

Population growth is increasingly through he cumulative effect ot ageing and longevity, thus staying in the data, but falsely correlated with new 'immigration'.

The late Professor Hans Rosling (Paul 'Population Bomb' and 'butterfly expert' Ehrlich's nemesis), the preeminent statistician, human development expert and medico explains well in Gapminder's http://www.gapminder.org/videos/dont-panic-the-facts-about-population/

Keeping in mind below replacement fertility rates in much of the world ex sub Saharan Africa, including Australia, declining ratio of tax paying workers to retirees and increasing oldies in the permanent population, what is the solution to support oldies?

Everyone seems to think they understand the 'problem' but very coy on the 'final solution'?
