Oh, dearie, dearie, me you're such a Xenophobe, Soren. You'd like to slam the drawbridge up after we welcomed you to the country. Why don't you go home to Denmark? Afraid you'd find they aren't as Racist as you are? Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes

There is a huge difference between 100,000 and 460,000 migrants a year.
But it it is NOT xenophobia or wacism.

Someone said we could not judge a person's Aboriginality on their skin colour. Why isn't that applied in the matter of Pascoe? Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes

Oohhh.... do you also know what the "real motivation" behind this was:

The Albanese government’s promise to lower net overseas migration to sustainable levels has missed the mark...

What is the real motive behind "sustainable levels"? What IS, in your estimation, the sustainable level of immigration?

I think around 100,000 skilled, with high level of English and cultural competency/compatibility. No unskilled, low to no English language family members. All up 140,000 max.

You?

Was Albo also Racist, Xenophobic, Sexist, Islamophobe when he wanted to reduce immigration to sustainable levels?

Why did Albo miss the mark?

This is an immigration discussion, here's your chance to show your intelligence and education. Calling me names is moronic.

Australia swamped by 1.4 million immigrants in just two years

December 13, 2024

The Noticer

Australia’s left-wing Labor government has brought in more than 1,404,000 immigrants since coming to power in May 2022, which is about the size of Adelaide – the country’s fifth largest city.

The Australian Bureau of Statistics revealed on Thursday that during the last financial year 666,800 people immigrated to Australia, down 9.8% from last year’s figure of 737,200, the highest two years on record.

That means that more than one in 20 people living Australia on June 30 this year arrived since Labor was elected, even though Prime Minister Anthony Albanese promised to lower migration during his election campaign, refusing to back the Coalition’s then-forecast of 160,000 new migrants.

“Western Australia had the fastest rise in population, growing 2.8% in the last year. This was followed by Victoria, which grew by 2.4%, and Queensland which rose 2.3%,” Beidar Cho, ABS head of demography, said.

Tasmania saw the least growth, with a 0.3% rise in population over the period.

Despite the record high population growth and the unpopularity of mass immigration, Opposition leader Peter Dutton on Sunday backtracked on a promise to cut migration, refusing to recommit to previous target and saying the Coalition would not set a new one until after the next election, due by May 2025.

Australia is hosting 100,000 immigrants on expired visas who refuse to leave:
‘Bogus asylum seekers’

December 11, 2024

Peter Johnson

As many as 100,000 immigrants on expired temporary visas are refusing to leave Australia, warns a top population expert who says many of the overstayers are “bogus asylum seekers.

University of Melbourne Professor Peter McDonald’s warning in The Age about temporary visitors who are refusing to leave sheds light on an aspect of Australia’s open borders programme which is grossly overlooked.

The Australian Bureau of Statistics, whose net migration data is often used as a distraction by “fact-checking” mainstream media articles to hide the extent of mass immigration, was described by the professor as having “underestimated arrivals and overestimated departures since the pandemic”. The bureau’s apparent ineptitude when it comes to migration data serves to further obfuscate the devastating population explosion Australians face.

In light of the second-rate information supplied by the ABS, it is clear that the failure of the Department of Home Affairs to properly address the issue has exacerbated the implications of the government’s mass immigration policy.

What am I dodging?

Albanese didn't lower immigration as promised, to what he thinks is sustainable.

I told you what I think of as sustainable immigration. I asked you, twice, what you think is sustainable. Yet instead of giving your view, you say I am dodging the issue.

Why is that, Bbwiyawn? Can't articulate your view on immigration? You can name call only, and troll, yawn and repeat crap? Why is that?

Oh, dearie, dearie, me, Soren, your Xenophobia is showing again. Like Bobby, you're mistaking temporary migrants, such as students, as permanent immigrants who will stay forever. Such a WOFTAM. Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes

How long does a student visa holder stay in Australia, including post-study work visas and conversions to permanence?

In the year-to-date August 2024, there were 969,230 international student enrolments, a 15 per cent increase in enrolments on the same period in 2019 (before the COVID-19 pandemic).
Year-to-date August commencements (446,084) are the highest on record and 12 per cent higher than in year-to-date August 2019 (399,128).
Fifty-five per cent of international students were from the following five student source countries: China (22% of international students), India (17%), Nepal (8%), Philippines (5%) and Vietnam (5%).
Growth in enrolments since 2019 is highest in the VET sector (42 per cent).

How do these nationalities afford annual tuition and living expenses?
Most Australian families could not pay these fees.

The answer is they come to work from the poorer countries. And not in the qualifications they obtain in Australia. They are not professionally, linguistically, socially competent to get a job commensurate with their Australian quals. International education is an immigration racket.

Albo obviousely believes his level is sustainable. You don't but we all know the real reason why you're protesting is your Xenophobia, Soren. My idea of what is sustainable is far higher than yours. Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes

They invariably borrow the money, Soren. It is their decision to do so. How did your parents afford to bring their family out from Denmark, Soren? Were they borrowers as well? Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes
