@BWJacksonX @FredPawle @Chungulus225873 From the point of view of the existing population of a NATION the only reason to allow immigration is if the
newcomers’ presence improves the prospects of the incumbents’ own posterity.

One Nation: "We don't want bad people migrating to Australia."

Leftists: "Why does One Nation hate Nestory so much?"

@KMooreGilbert Ok, so what are you going to do about it?
Much of male/female dynamics are hard-wire. Much of those dynamics are deeply socialised.
Either way, good luck changing the fundamental behaviour of men & women to better suit your personal preferences.
English
100% true. Within a couple of months of moving back to Australia and starting my PhD I had learnt not to mention the fact that I was a Cambridge graduate because this somehow threatened the egos of my mostly male PhD colleagues, who had come up through the Australian university system. Countless other examples too. Women learn to minimise their achievements so as not to appear threatening, while so many men gas themselves up and get rewarded for it.

The smarter women are, the more hostility they face. In the U.S. & China, the higher women’s IQs, the less they're liked—and the more they’re undermined by coworkers. Men pay no price for being bright. It's long past time to recognize female intellect as an asset, not a threat.

@JacintaAllanMP Why only 2 days per week?
Why can’t people work from home every working day?
What makes you the expert about how each workplace functions to say that 2 days is ok but more than that is not ok?
English
The One Nation Liberal Coalition wants to drag you back to the office.
That's why we'll protect your right to work from home - in law.

@elainecarbines So?
Under Hanson, many horrible criminals would never have called Australia home.
The merits of a particular immigration policy do not depend on how good or bad particular INDIVIDUALS are. It depends on the AGGREGATE impact on society.

“Climate action” clearly delivers huge gains to special interests but denies Australians access to the cheap energy our natural resources should provide.
As noted in this declaration, our lack of a sensible energy policy not only harms our prosperity. It undermines our security.

Walcha in northern NSW is some of Australia’s most productive agricultural land. The Minns Government wants to drive massive transmission lines straight through it as part of the New England Renewable Energy Zone - even as several renewable projects in the region are stalling or withdrawing. Local communities have pushed back with the Walcha Declaration - a clear statement on protecting farmland, food security and sensible energy policy.

Of the 46,022 places taken up in 2024-25 under this scheme, 15,400+ of them were allocated to permanent residents.

That's more than a third to non-citizens.
This government literally helps foreigners outbid young Australians at auctions.

“Renting was frustrating because our money wasn’t going anywhere. But now it is.” Our 5% deposits helped Lachie and Brooklyn buy their first home in Clifton Springs, Victoria. And it’s helped 260,000 more Australians move into a place of their own. That's exactly what we want. And by changing property investor tax breaks and building more homes, we’re helping more young Australians just like Lachie and Brooklyn.

@ALeighMP Get this guy on television more often!
He’s so relatable & engaging!
The more voters see this guy as a spokesman for this government, the better.

Talk about misleading. They call themselves “One Nation”, but they’re all about dividing people. #auspol
English
A hunter-gatherer society needs a very high share of people working to support a small number of dependents.
An advanced economy can support many more dependents - particularly if it is on the cusp of a probable AI- surge in productivity
English
This shows that immigration is not a sustainable solution to an aging population.
Productivity growth is.
Productivity growth makes us richer. A richer country can more easily afford to look after its old people.
English

Similar logic applies to Australia. Given our birth rates, we can only stabilise the working-age share of our population by setting immigration at an unsustainably high level.
English
Because migrants age too, it takes a huge number of them to stabilise the working-age share of the population.
According to this US analysis, the share would fall from 64% in 2017 to 57% in 2060 with zero migration. To get 64% in 2060, America would have to add >230m migrants.
English
@SustPopAus I’m talking about people who choose not to have children but still support mass immigration. If they cared about a sustainable population for Australia, they wouldn’t support mass immigration.
English
@BWJacksonX Perhaps they just recognise the ecological & social benefits of a stabilised/declining population when the world is in gross overshoot?
They know not everyone will embrace this path- so there'll still be enough workers for a progressive future steady state economy.
English
If these people want to push for more adults-only spaces, can we also push for more Australian-only spaces?
I suspect must of these deliberately-childless people are strong advocates of mass immigration. They want to import the future workers they can’t be bothered to raise.
English
@jordanhknight_ @pjlogue These people are typically ignorant of basic demographic maths. Immigration only stops a population from aging if you keep successively increasing the level of immigration each year. It’s a completely unsustainable “strategy” that can only “work” for a very limited time.
English
@pjlogue 1. The Coalition isn't conservative
2. You answered your own question
3. You train them and you also reduce hospital demand by cutting immigration
Migrants get old too, please think
English
By training native-born people and paying them well, which used to be what the left was about. Now it appears to be solely fixated on facilitating massive demographic change.
Peter Logue@pjlogue
@jordanhknight_ Or how would our health and aged care system survive without well trained and dedicated people from overseas? Such small minded ignorance. The housing crisis comes from the failed policies of past governments, mainly the LNP.
English
@jordanhknight_ I suspect we soon will see a lot of old Australians moving to Thailand & Bali.
Mass immigration severs our connection with our country & our compatriots in so many ways.
English
Great point. Boomers constantly tell us to move to where housing is more affordable, yet when it comes to healthcare, they want to import affordable aged care from other countries. Completely hypocritical.
LilliputianX@XLilliputian
@pjlogue @jordanhknight_ Why can’t you move somewhere where the cost of nursing care is more affordable?
English
@realglenappleby @JustinWolfers You pretend that this will be a random outcome when in fact the outcome largely will depend on the immigration policy we CHOOSE.
Those grandfathers born elsewhere will only have grandchildren playing cricket in England & Australia if immigration policy allows that to happen.
English
@BWJacksonX @JustinWolfers No - just 12 Australians playing 12 English based on their ability - irrespective of the birthplace of their grandfathers.

Love what the Australian soccer team says about modern Australia. Seriously, watch this video, and you'll be cheering for them too.

@thegregfleet Just because we let you into the country doesn’t mean we should let 50 million other people into the country.
Why can’t you people THINK for just TWO MINUTES?

I always liked Dave Hughes as a guy. He was kind and reasonable and stuck up for the underdog. Not any more. I am an immigrant, and I’ve given heaps to this nation. He has become a fucking monster, concerned only with the problems of the rich. Such as shame.
English
@karlstefanovic Howard talked tough about stopping people arriving here on boats but increased the number of people arriving here on planes.
English
John Howard says Australia's migration success has always depended on integration. He argues the social contract is simple: migrants should assimilate, embrace Australian values and contribute to the country they've chosen to call home. John Howard, tonight at 5pm.
