Swamp Donkey (AKA MR0)

From the ABS "The 2016 Census found Australia is home to more than 1.2 million people of Chinese ancestry. Of these, two in five (41 per cent) were born in China, with Australia the second most common country of birth (25 per cent) ahead of Malaysia (8.0 per cent) and Hong Kong (6.5 per cent). Four out of five people of Chinese ancestry (82 per cent) did not state another ancestry."

Do you pull your information out of your arse?

shadyminister,

I reckon you did your vocational degrees at Wattsamatta U.

I'm not talking about Chinese Australians. I will accept the 5.6% figure.

I'm talking about is the 15% figure covering Chinese non-Australians.

In other words, there are about 1.3 million Chinese who are Australian citizens and about 3.5 million Chinese in Australia who are not citizens.

Travel around Sydney and you will see that Chinese is the principal ethnic group in Sydney.

We now have over a million public servants. All these are entitled to ridiculously inflated pensions, funded by the tax payer.

These pensions & all future pensions should be reduced to that of the normal superannuation pension. The money thus saved would pay much of the current pension bill. After all, most current & future pensioners have contributed much more to the wellbeing of the nations citizens than a huge majority of public servants.

Currently defense force people are on a simple pension system, much less generous than public servants. If anyone should be entitled to a higher pension, it is those who risk their lives for the country.

Defense pensions scheme is actually very mean. The funds are not paid into any super scheme, but held [& used by] treasury. These defense force pensions are not acrewing any interest on these funds as occurs with normal super schemes.

You have to wonder why anyone serves.

Swamp donkey,

If you look at the ABS figures, the 1.3m Chinese include Aus citizens and residents (a disproportionate number in Sydney), so the 3.5m that you need would have to be illegally residing here?

However, as you have a useless arts degrees, you probably can't count.

shadyminister,

I told my wife you reckon 1 in 20 people in Sydney are Chinese (both Chinese Australian and Chinese non-Australian).

She wants to know what planet you're from.

The ABS statistics on "Chinese ancestry" aren't accurate because they're based on voluntary contributions that are based on what the person "identifies with". It doesn't identify children born to Chinese born as Chinese. I suspect that the numbers of ethnic Chinese are higher than the ABS statistics. To me if the numbers of non-British Australian's are greater than 1% it is a threat to the stability of Australia. But instability is probably what certain interest groups want. Given that certain interest groups in Australia are removing British Australian's how can British Australian's act to reverse this act of war and genocide.

Multi-culturalists are traitors, warmongers, genociders. There should be a black-list that ranks organisations by their multi-culturalism. So that they can be identified. Government should be banned from giving work to organisations high on the multi-culturalism list
