One thing I noticed about Foxy's link was that there were no projections between zero immigration and 200,000 p/a.
I think a better number would be about 100,000 to 120,000 p/a with the option of saying no to people who come from countries with cultures and ideologies that are incompatible with the Australian culture.

Then we focus on managing the country on the basis of good policies.
(Which the government wouldn't know what one slapped them in the face)

If Australia is such a great place and people are busting to come here, then why do we accept anything less than good decent people?

And to anyone who says we don't have a culture:
That may be kind of true; but its also not exactly true.
Our culture is 'No culture' in the sense that:
"We sure as bloody hell don't want yours".
That's a culture right?

That's the real Australia, the one where we used to be 'kind of racist but not really', we'd put crap on everyone else, but it was never really based in hate, it was us just being 'us' and doing what we do.

Everything was more fun, non PC and real, not like this generic leftist nutjob society we have today.

Remember when Aussies put crap on everyone just for fun; and we'd let them put crap on us too; and it was mateship that seemed to bring us together, though not always.

Does anyone remember?

Judging on your figures, the highest percentage of supporters for a “big Australia”, live in rural electorates.
So to coin a phrase, every second Jack and his dog in rural Australia, support the concept of a big Australia.

Where the Australian culture is the most obvious, is in rural Australia.
Rural Australia is predominantly populated by white Australian culture Caucasians.

This to me, is a significant observation. I would judge by that outcome, White Australians are the most compliant with their own cultural demise!

dd,

They are not my figures; they are figures gleaned by TAPRI and, apart from the National voters who might assumed to live in the country, there is absolutely nothing to indicate where respondents live.

"Does anyone remember?"

Well, I do; at fifteen I was working at Enfield Locomotive Depot (long since defunct) when the "Balts" were migrating in some numbers to this country and they were allocated to jobs, not always with any sympathy for their talents.
We had, for a while, a renowned surgeon who was an Engine Cleaner, the District Locomotive Engineer (The Boss) listened to his qualms about possibly injuring his hands and made him a clerk.
Among my workmates were Ukrainians and White Russians and I became good mates with two Ukrainians and two White Russians (I later met one of the White Russians in Korea, where he was serving in the other Australian battalion).

We all, generally, got along fine and there was a lot of give and take.
One joke resulted in a visit from the police, the bloke who was given the job of getting lunches, and who spoke fair English was told to be very careful to ask for the pies to be (here insert common four letter word starting with 'f' and ending in 'ing') hot.

One of my Ukrainian mates was a natural linguist, he spoke, besides his native tongue, Russian, German, Polish and French.
He learned English on the ship and within a couple of months was speaking with an Aussie accent and with idiom and slang to near perfection.
His joke was to be talking to a local and when someone he knew passes to speak to them in their language; the surprise at this typical Aussie suddenly speaking foreign was worth seeing.

Those migrants after the war all (say 99.0%) fitted in and did well.

Dear Is Mise,

Outside of Australia's Indigenous People, we are all
immigrants or descendants of immigrants - some earlier than
others - but all with an experience of immigration.

And all these immigrant communities have made successful
contributions to Australian life.

So what's changed now?

In a column on 7th April, Mark Latham wrote scornfully of ACTU head, Sally McManus, “supposedly a confirmed socialist”, for “cheering on our ‘Harbourside Mansion’ Prime Minister” on mass immigration. He described McManus as “just another lickspittle for the ruling class” - the sort of language that denies the feelings of some that he has swapped sides since he was leader of the parliamentary Labor Party. He also emphasises the lack of difference on the mass immigration between the Labor movement and Turnbull's Liberals.

It is amazing that the union movement movement (its elites, anyway) are supporting the growth of overseas workers coming to Australia permanently. The new workers are just as likely to be reluctant to hand over part of their wages to unions as Australian workers already are.

We live in very peculiar times.
