Society/Culture Support for Big Australia falls dramatically.

[Balls In]

There's a report out today that records a dramatic drop in support of Australia's high migration intake down to just 28%. The Morrison government is set to reduce the intake to around 160,000, however this is still an extraordinary high number at a point when most countries are trying ro reduce their population.

Many of the issues apparent now to do with congestion and high house prices have long been predicted, yet governments have ignored these issues while ramping up migration. What do people think, what is an appropriate population target and rate of growth?

Australian's don't know how to think.

Name one country that is trying to reduce their population? Shrinking population destroys the tax and pension systems.

Are those non thinkers the ones who support big australia or the ones who are against it?

You should of put more thought in before leaping to a conclusion.

You have some on the far right who support a bigger australia and some who don't. Same as the left.

Very very few have any idea of the real Issues facing this campaignerry

And those real issues are?

Australia was full in 1788

Japan? They're projected to drop by more than 20 million people over the next 50 years.

Australia was full in 1788

Full of what? Natives who lived a simple life with high murder rates and low life expectancy. Natives who created mass genocide of all australias giant marsupials when they immigrated 40,000 years ago. What exactly?

They are trying to increase it though. They are just failing because they are racist and refuse to increase immigration.

Racist you say, did you possibly consider they're priority is border protection and that is the reason for their falling population figure? Or did you deliberately ignore that because you believe that every Japanese and it's government is racist?

Whilst I disagree with their low level of immigration, it's rather narrow minded to claim every living Japanese and it's government base their immigration policy on racism.

If the Japanese want to keep Japan Japanese, what is wrong with that?

I didnt say every japanese person. Where did you get that from? But these are people who as a whole would prefer to suffer falls in living standards rather than dilute the gene pool with immigrants.

Get real. Average life expectancy before 1788 was 24 years. Aboriginal Australian life expectancy wasn't much "lower" than that.

And there is nothing wrong with "simple life". Well, we can praise the white invaders who stripped away the aboriginal's spiritual contact with the land, and replaced it with christian dogma and alcohol.

The psychological impacts of having all property rights and cultural rights stripped away for no reason except racism also has consequences that continue to this day, especially with no redress for so many.

Japan is quietly increasing immigration from South Korea and China I heard. Perhaps because racist types will take longer to notice than if black Africans start walking around.

The immigration rate has made housing (buying and renting) more expensive in Melbourne but the issue is more complex. Negative gearing and lousy urban planning; the immigrants didn't do that.

The "Aborginals didn't do anything **** them my poor immigrant father blah blah" crowd don't place much value on how they kept going for many thousands of years. Docile farmable animals, wheat, etc. That stuff didn't exist in Australia.

Did enjoy the day at St Kilda? How long did you clap freaky frauline Fraser after his speech?

Well the women have bottoms of all shapes like ours. Only very few fat ones. A fat one is as rare as a skinny one on ours.

Asia is more than 3 countries.

Had you ever been to Japan and spoken with the locals, you would realise they are acutely aware of there difference in appearance between them and Chinese.
