Loudmouth seems to have slipped back into the Left, wrecking ways of his youth and his parents.

mhaze,

Speaking of the no-terrorism-here and the pathetic police reference to a 'drug addicted' known-to-them-loony who just happens to be an Afghan, I wonder how long it will be before they change their minds and say the atrocity was terror related as it has been in 100% of other cases like this.

Just seen. The 'non-terrorist' has already admitted his action had to do with the "mistreatment of Muslims". It didn't take long at all to discredit the copper-crap being talked. What is it with police? Are they apologists for Islam these days?

Most would never have voted for this. Neither side, including Greens, ever sought a mandate for a 'Big Australia', or for the 'diversity' by cultural group, the melting pot, that Australia is somehow obliged to become. -Obliged by whom?

Where does a voter go if s/he disagrees with the policies of the political elite? There seems to be a very large majority of the Australia population in what Left 'Progressives' would regard as Australia's 'Basket of Deplorables'.

-Millions of 'Deplorables' who cannot be relied upon to know what is best for themselves. And the 'Progressives' who always know what is best for others, must always be doing their social reengineering behind closed doors.

It doesn't sound much like democracy does it?

The problem has always been that where LNP and Labor (and Greens sidekicks) have a cosy agreement (and compliant media owners) to treat immigration as the Sacred Cow, where voters disagree or even question policies, there is no alternate party to vote for. The Australian public has had to 'suck it up', more like STFU.

mhaze - Quote "Also note that of the 191000 new permanent residents about half were already here but on non-permanent visas. "

If half were already here then that means the statement "Net migration was 245,400 people over the past 12 months" is false as they migrated prior to that according to you.

Also if the figures are so accurate why do you use the term "about half" where did you get that from?

Quote "As a rule of thumb, when the numbers don't make sense to you, it probably pays to assume that you don't know enough to make sense of them"
That works two ways and applies to you as well, it is not the only assumption that can be drawn, it could also be the figures are misleading, inaccurate, or incomplete

Hi Ttbn,

"As long as immigration policy is mainly targeted to bringing people with appropriate skills to Australia, people who can contribute positively to future growth, then I have no complaints."

That would lose me a lot of friends on the 'Left', if I had any left. As Gramscians dedicated to the destruction of the current bourgeois State, they would castigate me for not welcoming immigrants and refugees with inappropriate skills. So your complaint sort of balances theirs. :)

Cheers,

Joe
