Loudmouth we share the view about Bangladesh and probably about such victims of racism world wide
WE MUST fix that, soon please
But that to be achieved must see some forced used on RACISTS and their countrys
That woman leader turning her back on this is shameful
Yes age, dad died at 54, mum at 69, her parents and dads, all four lived in to their 73rd year
I am 74, still [true] feeling about 45, body however, and that male area known to bring problems, seems to be ready to put a used by date on me
My earnest hope, even if it brings dictatorship, is one world one people not China like but one respecting and caring for every one, yes even if it takes a dictatorship

Belly,

No. I'm an internationalist or universalist in terms of human rights, not a globalist in terms of national rights. There will always be sovereign nations, and the problems will be how the people in those countries - not anyone else - can overcome, and be helped tactfully by others to overcome - the problems they may face.

In the case of the Rohingya, certainly there should be a quota of refugees to be welcomed in Australia, but the main problems that caused their flight from Burma have to be primarily resolved by the people there, and/or in the region. Similarly, the problems of civil war and corruption in African countries are primarily, primarily, the problems of African people themselves. Of course, we can fund women's education there through such wonderful ventures such as St Jude's School in Tanzania:

The prospect of a world government seems to me a recipe for world fascism. I will never support that grotesque notion.

FAILURE we humans have got it down to pat, ww1 was to be the last war ever
Millions died over what was nothing if not a war within the British Royal family and its colonization of Europes Royal familys
ww2? America sat out of that war long enough to become the richest country in the world by selling arms
We told our selves the UN would fix it, it too failed to even be worth its existence
Refugees, wars, pollution, we are failures, if one world government, even its pain, can fix those things it is all we deserve

Hey Belly,
Here's a quick 3 minute video which will give you the hard facts in regards to fertility rates.

Should We Be Worried About the Millennial Birth Rate
http://youtu.be/KUz_9x6k2Ng

Now google 'Australia fertility rates' and you'll find out the number is 1.81 (2016)

We're not even replacing ourselves (need 2.1) and a rate of 1.7 is considered the 'point of no return'.

Our population is growing at 1.5% annually, therefore over 2 thirds of that number is coming from immigrants.

Australia's population is 25 million, and I'm pretty sure we're accepting over 250,000 migrants per annum; might be 270,000 not exactly sure;

In any case 1.5% is 375,000 new people per year, so do the math.

In my mind the importation of Muslims and Africans falls into a category of 'breeders' to boost our birth rates, for the sake of the economy and repayment of debt, (which makes it a debt-trap) costs relating to aging baby boomers (no offense intended) and global governance / 2030 agendas.

AC can not use the same terms but agree that growth is behind a lot of our current problems and is worth looking at
Growth is not just used as a measure of success it is in fact a thing with a use by date, it can not go on forever
We will, as we must, reconsider if it is even sane to continue to think of it as worth while
Constant growth is just bringing its own end about once we see it is not the right way to live
