Lack of integrity is not an automatic entitlement to ridicule others with integrity. Sadly, this is one of the dreadful traits in our society.
Not sufficient sense to care about all that is decent & doggedly sabotage the efforts of considerate people to improve our society. ALP/LNP have now proven beyond any reasonable doubt that they are unable to govern true to their doctrine due to being in the pockets of those with money made via bureaucatic designed & permitted loopholes.
One Nation has had its share of conniving infiltrators but will weather these despicables' treason.

Dear individual,

One Nation now only has two votes left in the Senate.
Their power bloc has disappeared. People are leaving
the party. Unless new recruits can be persuaded to join,
the party's future does not look good.

Bob Katter and his son have been approached to join the
party. Katter's reply was he'd join One Nation - when the
Pope turned Muslim. (smile).

On the topic of immigration...

A paper presented by the Department of Treasury and
Home Affairs found that our 2014/2015 intake alone
would contribute nearly $10 billion to the budget
over the next 50 years.

"Migrants deliver an economic dividend for Australia due
to the current policy settings which favour migrants of
working age who have skills to contribute to the
economy." the report says.

The report also counters claims that migrants are a drag
on the welfare systems, revealing migrants are likely to
pay more in tax than they claim in social services.

Plus it also found that the existing labour market had
not been harmed by migration debunking the myth that
migrants "steal" Australians' jobs.

According to that report skilled migrants granted visas
in 2014/2015 are expected to make a net lifetime
contribution of nearly $7 billion to the budget while
those on 457 visas are expected to contribute close to
$4 billion.

The only migrants expected to cost the budget over their
lifetime are those granted refugee or humanitarian visas.

However, while making the case for immigration the report
also carried a warning that governments need to spend more
money maintaining existing infrastructure to keep up with
the pace of growth. These pressures should not only be
addressed by new infrastructure. They should also include
better use of existing infrastructure. The report states.

Of course we need better long-term planning and policies
concerning our existing infrastructure to keep up with
overcrowding in schools, hospitals, housing, worker wages,
among other things. We all have concerns in these areas.
However is cutting immigration the answer? The report says
no. Better policies and long-term planning is.

migrants of working age who have skills to contribute to the economy."
Foxy,
which countries do the migrants come from & which countries the so-called refugees ?
Which of the two groups falls into the contribute to the economy category ?
Which of the two groups integrates more easily & which are welfare dependent for ten years more/less ?
I recall quite a number of TV programs that drew attention to some migrants/refugees who have been on welfare for many years with not end in sight of their dependency.
Migration to build a nation is good, migration to empty a nation's coffers is not desirable.
I am a migrant & I have pulled my weight with no Welfare ever & no compensation for being a victim of multiple thefts.

ttbn do not make up my opinions for me, in fact I think only an integration policy would calm voters here and world wide, it worked,but yes the Apex gang, protected by PC and the inability of courts to back up our police is? dreadful, so we agree on that, are you however saying migration is all a negative? America was built on it, not that today's America is some thing to be proud about, HANSON however entered our lives with a hate filled anti Asian rant,I get the feeling she would switch to hate ANY group she thought would increase her vote/cash in take,we are watching her party die, a positive thing for this country PS it is my view faith, all of them, harms more than helps humanity

Foxy,

Most of the immigrants come with skills and employment and clearly contribute to the economy. The problem is the illegal economic migrants that cost the economy $billions.
