Melanoma rates are notably high among fair-skinned Australians of European descent.




This is crazy ! Australia has the biggest public sector workforce in the world. You won’t believe how we compare to other countries. Listen to the details HERE. 🎧omny.fm/shows/ben-ford…🎧





























⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ RECKONING CODE ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ THE SYSTEM CREATED FOR OTHERS ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ 2.9 million temporary visa holders is massive - roughly 10-11% of Australia’s entire population. Not exactly a drop in the ocean. It breaks down to this… - 731,000 New Zealand citizens (Special Category visa holders) - 638,000 international students - 403,000 bridging visa holders (often tied to backlogs or status changes) - 240,000 temporary graduate visas - 239,000 working holiday makers - 238,000 temporary skilled workers (skill levels still notoriously substandard) - plus 411,000 tourists and others.. Some of these so-called ‘temporary’ residents have been here so long they’re now lining up for the old age pension in wheelchairs. Add in the 75-77k overstayers / unlawful non-citizens and the pressure on housing, rents and infrastructure becomes obvious. Of the 240k on temporary graduate visas -the latest data shows only 25-40% of international students ultimately get permanent residency many return home with their earned knowledge. But of those who stay, over 50% end up working below their skill level or outside their field of study. That’s the exact distinction worth surfacing - not every student visa is genuine study to contribute to Australia but they are treated as citizens far before they have even qualified, for too many it’s become a de facto migration pathway that doesn’t deliver the skilled benefit Australia needs. Wanting tighter regulation and an actual plan for a stable temporary population isn’t ‘anti-migrant’ - it’s common sense. Importing birth rates is not the answer, giving Australians a fighting change to create families of their own and raise the declining birth rate is our birthright. Housing supply hasn’t kept up, cost of living is hurting locals, and ‘open borders… but only for the exit lane’ is a blunt but appropriate way of saying we need to put #AustraliaFirst again. Fair call.🇦🇺🫡
