“Explosive data” reveals that 50% of voters think that our country has “changed beyond recognition”, and it sometimes feels like a foreign country. The population increased to March 2017 by 384,000, dominated by Asians.

A majority of in the survey (74%) rejected the idea of more people, and complained about the costs. A majority wanted immigration cut.

Elites responsible for high immigration and multiculturalism have themselves been insulated from the effects of these policies, and assumed that most Australians supported them, the survey found.

We're told under the chapter - "What is a sensible approach
to population policy?" that -

"A renewed, earnest and transparent population conversation
is needed. With ever more reliance on immigration we must go
beyond the unhelpful pro-immigration versus pro-nationalism
debate to consider our population prospects"

"Ethnic offenders ‘over-represented’ in youth crime population
Aneeka Simonis and David Hurley, Herald Sun
October 19, 2017

YOUNG criminals from Sudan, the Pacific Islands and indigenous communities make up almost half the inmate or parole population in Victoria.

The disturbing rise in ethnic youth offending has been described as a “glaring over-representation” and has given rise to fears of entrenched violence.

The findings, released in the 2016-17 Youth Parole Board annual report, reveal more than 40 per cent of the state’s youth inmates and parolees were from high-offending racial groups.

Africans, mostly from Sudan, represented 12 per cent of the state’s youth criminal population.

Maoris and Pacific Islanders made up 11 per cent and were subject to a three-year rise in custodial sentences issued through the Children’s Court.

“The board remains concerned about the violent nature of the offending for which many of these young people have been found guilty, as well as similar behaviours at times continuing in custody,” the report read.

Almost half the number of youths released on parole had their orders revoked, due to reoffending and breaches, according to the report.

Of the 94 cancellations, 28 youths reoffended on parole, while 66 failed to comply with release conditions.

Formal warnings also jumped 64 per cent over two years.

Minister for Families and Children Jenny Mikakos said the state government had cracked down on misbehaving parolees with strict legislation, and the rise in ethnic youth crime was “unacceptable”. But Opposition spokeswoman Georgie Crozier claimed the government had “lost control”.

“Under Daniel Andrews, young thugs on parole are more likely to commit further crimes, like assault, home invasions and carjackings,” she said."

Kevin Andrews warned of these problems and was labelled racist by every regressive. When the obvious pain and discomfort comes to communities by such idiotic policies the regressives then blame the Australian population for not being accepting enough. Interesting enough few if any of the politicians (especially regressive ones) are prepared to live in the ghettos they have created and expect all neighbouring suburbs to grin and bear it. Once we had pollies who cared about our nation. NOw we have regressives who only care about trying to prove their warped/perverted narratives work. They don't and everyone else has to live with and clean up their mess.

I love to sit back and watch a country unravel, been there done that!
Australians need a new name for their country, how about Auzkong, and a national rainbow flag.

From, 'Finally, an honest debate about immigration'

Bob Carr: “Australia’s got currently the most ambitious rate of population growth in relative terms of any developed country in the world. Our population growth rate is more than Indonesia, it’s really that of a third world country. ..

Now that’s my proposition: that we should moderate the rate of population growth...
I don’t think you could persuade many Australians that having an immigration program that brings an additional 80,000 to 100,000 into Sydney and Melbourne each year is not ambitious. And I don’t think there are too many people who are looking at the challenge of infrastructure keeping up with that population challenge who wouldn’t think that toning it [immigration] down a bit wouldn’t be a good thing…

We are talking about the denser urbanisation of the coastal strip of Eastern Australia. This is not a debate about filling up an empty continent. It’s a debate about seeing that towards the end of this century, Australia’s population will be concentrated in Hong Kong-style towers in a densely populated fertile coastal strip. And it is this geographical consideration that makes Australia a fundamentally different proposition than North America…

I’d just like to have some honesty in Canberra – these decisions are made in Canberra [which] has the lowest density of any capital city. ."

Judith Sloan: “The pro-immigration lot will say that there’s not enough investment in infrastructure, public transport, in schools and the like. But the truth of the matter is that 70% of these migrants go to Sydney and Melbourne, and up to a point it’s impossible to keep up with the infrastructure needs of such an ongoing surge in the numbers, so I think it would be very good public policy to reduce the annual intake… and see how we go for a period of time. I think what Bob Carr is suggesting is quite a modest proposal…
