She is saying immigratnts are working and adding value and therefore huge numbers are adding equivalent huge value and so the higher the number the better it is. But there is a point of diminished returns when annual immigrant numbers are higher than a certain number. That number - population policy - is something mentioned over the decads but never actually nutted out, discussed and acted on.
Clearly she is an economic and social illiterate who has no concept of ever being faced with Tent City as a future ..... I have no doubt her future was secured before she was born....
Many immigrants are working part-time casual and often at imposed lower rates of pay in their cousin's business or something - those are adding nothing but cash flowing around the economy, but not anything of true value. The cunning ones, just like the homegrown cunnings, work out rapidly that the biggest corporation in Australia is government, with its ability to extract trillions annually - so they work their way into politics and public service, knowing in advance that they will receive advancement to 'make up the equitable numbers' and 'reinforce diversity' etc... etc..... etc .... they literally tap into the mainline and go full intravenous from the greatest money-making scheme in the country.... then they show their mud hut peasant origins with their stupid utterances.
They also add to education costs, all other infrastructure costs, clearly show the absolute inadequacy of infrastructure now - let alone its ability to cope with future growing numbers imported - and add to all the social problems already raging like bushfires throughout the nation.
Many, of course, tap into the business tax rorting.... knowing that even if they abide by our tax rules, only those who work for a living will not get all the available deductions, and only those working for a living will ever face Tent City.... look how many 'businesses' with squiggly names go 'broke' leaving the 'master' of the business in-pocket for a few or many lazy millions... and everyone else out-of-pocket - who do you imagine makes up the 'shortfalls' fro stupid banks loaning millions to thieves and gangsters? YOU do - every single one of you, via 'fees' and 'charges' and 'interest rates' that generally these same banks do not apply to the well-off!!
Only the poorest and most powerless in the land - the Tent City Dwellers - the 'Boom Town Rats' - pay every single fee a bank can draw from them... and cover the cost of every single bank and political mistake and disaster.
Aside - Albo, in discussing his 'tax cuts' discussed 'taxpayers' in the context of 'income tax payers' - deliberately forgetting that EVERYONE pays taxes ever day.... and the poorest receive NO tax cut at all.... Now then - for that TRUE tax review/overhaul.....
Then there is the future of 'superannuation' in its current guise, in a growing environment of 'part-time casual' - in which fees and charges (again) swallow up pitiful amounts set aside by the Boom Town Rats every time they work.... with no end in sight. Immigration producing, as above, MORE people to retire and need support exponentially - will NOT solve any of those problems - only make them worse.
A revolution is a terrible thing - and I think it is time we had done!
