Eunometic
Nice of you to provide a synopsis of your post up front..
it will save a lot of people the time to read it.
So you accept their buttertion that immigration is the single most important factor in our national survival!
Why?
And why do you claim immigration is more vital because the political parties say so, and then argue against your own choice of priority issue; ?
If Aussies were better educated they would not accept such blatant clbutt war, from the same tories who deny smart working clbutt kids the Uni places they buy for their own silverspoon offspring (thus ensuring that they have the best chance of securing the dwindling number of well-paid job opportunities you complain of! )
So you agree the tories IR policy is just another brutal facet of their corrupt 'Rich Dummies education scam!?
What did you say GDP-capita trends were over the history of immigration? B^)
That doesn't make sense, poor immigrants want to be owner occupiers, the clbuttic Aussie dream which helps the economy by supporting the housing industry.. and they WORK like navvies to contribute and improve their lot. It is the SPECULATION which drove up housing prices to record unaffordability.
You really need to grasp some basic economics if you are going to engage in public debate, otherwise you will just look like another ignorant racist pushing the same tired barrow.
