How many people leave?

Im not sure.

But Australia seems a good wicket to live and stay.IMO

 

[rocker_oz33]

I’m not sure of the figures but immigration has and always will be vital for growth. It does seem we’re a little skewed when construction can’t keep up with the growth

Yeah Melbourne got to big for it self imo.

Not if you keep crushing your toes

Our local One nation candidate has an immigrant wife.

One of our candidates was an immigrant himself. The phrase 'useful idiot' comes to mind.

To be fair, they are accepting of some immigrants... from the UK, South Africa, Sweden, Norway, Denmark etc.

It is if you are talking strictly about living here, yes I would totally agree.

However we have a lot to learn from other countries in terms of not taking things for granted and not whinging about every single problem.

Also think as people in general we Australians are very single minded , selfish and not as friendly as we could be.

Just some observations I've noticed of travelling around a fair bit in America, Europe ,SE Asia and Australia.

Little things like people go out to eating place being loud campaigners or let their kids run crazy and loud. It was quiet before hand. Etc.

But we/they the gov cant make people do things .
