@ThreetothePower @AvidCommentator unlikely, but over the lifetime of the infrastructure, yes. where people live is varied. People born in australia and immigrants share new suburbs, as they do in legacy suburbs. The cost has to be attributed population wide. Also note that the australian pop ex-migrant increases

@SolInvi24645112 @AvidCommentator Do you think migrants have paid such a volume of taxes within 5 years of arriving that they have paid for the new hospital, roads and train station in their new suburb? The costs are shared across the tax base but they only benefit the people there.

Without overseas migration Sydney would have a shrinking population. Now lets say in a decade a new estate is being built, it needs roads, schools, hospitals and other infrastructure. The vast majority of the cost of that infrastructure would be attributed by Treasury to the migrants who expanded the population and drove its construction, right? No. It gets attributed across the entire population and the actual migrant share is reduced based on the duration of their total expected time in Australia. So the vast majority of a rail line out to a suburb that wouldn't need one without migration is attributed to the existing populace. This is why the modelled benefits of migration by Treasury dont actually hold water. They dont hold up to basic logical scrutiny. Far more on this in detail from @leithvo linked below. macrobusiness.com.au/2024/06/the-mo…

Can't believe not lumbering young people with enormous debt for the temerity of wanting to get educated turns out to be pretty good for their wellbeing. theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…

@cojobrien Retarded. Why should people be forced to work in rural areas? Does their liberty not matter?

An illustration of why the tax burden in Australia is destined is to get much worse. This is on top of the existing $1trillion of federal debt and excludes states and local councils. The only way forward is smaller government, much higher productivity and economic growth that massively outpaces population growth. Whether our past prosperity can be restored depends entirely on if we learn this in time and make drastic changes to correct course. The alternative is that living standards collapse much more than they already have in recent years.

Absolutely stunning fact in the paper today: The Australian government is granting Australian citizenship to the children of ISIS fighters BY DESCENT. Children who have never even been to Australia, born in Syria to literal ISIS fighters. Just please stop and think about how insane this is for a moment. When a Muslim extremist from Australia decides to fly to Syria to fight for ISIS, we agree to grant citizenship to any of their future children by descent. Absolutely fucking psychotic.

@hot_rails Again, prayging they did the gold plated case from the outset, and will use its projections to beat people into accepting a more prudent variant.

@SolInvi24645112 Well, we need to start fixing them now, before they get worse. That's the point that Costello is making.

Peter Costello is right. What happened to having pride in being self-reliant rather than bludging off the government at every possible opportunity, like the oldies with millions of dollars in assets trying to finagle their way into getting the pension? theaustralian.com.au/commentary/wev…

@taipan168 e61.in/rising-pressur… Good summary of what is going on. Story more complex. Fails probably to account for some cyclical stuff and CC and aging issues appropriately. Aussies can take solace though that our fiscal issues are modest and extremely fixable though.

@SolInvi24645112 A 3 percentage point increase in the size of government when expressed as a % of GDP is quite a significant expansion.

@samlutd Yeah, I’m being somewhat facetious, but generally greater density and an openness to development, which GC has, is what the rest of australia needs atm.

@SolInvi24645112 Tall buildings do not necessarily mean cheaper housing though (I understand that skyscraper-tall buildings are often more expensive per apartment because of the engineering costs)

@taipan168 And again, by far the biggest increase is disability, followed by age related stuff, then defence.

@taipan168 I wouldn’t entirely disagree, but note where it comes from (defence, disability, and heightened infra spend), and alignment with long term trend which Costello was also in line with. Again, is 35% self reliant, and 38% dole bludgers?

If you extended Walsh's principle "if you can defend your right to existence, you can exist" just a little bit it would devestate every argument he's ever put forward against abortion and most forms of euthanasia.. Cant defend your existence? You dont get a right to exist.
Matt Walsh@MattWalshBlog

The whole debate about which countries have "the right to exist" is based on a false premise. There is no "right to exist" for nations. What does that even mean? How can a country be entitled to exist? Every country on Earth came into existence through force and remains in existence through force. If you can't defend your existence, you will not exist anymore. The history of civilization is full of countries that existed and then ceased to exist. Are the rights of those countless now non-existent countries being perpetually violated by their non-existence? It makes no sense. If you can defend your existence, then you can exist. If you can't, then eventually you won't exist. It's really that simple. A right is an entitlement, by definition, and there is no country that has an eternal entitlement to exist whether it can defend and support itself or not. The very concept is absurd, meaningless.

@retrobike_c16 My prayg is that they were instructed to make the most gold plated project possible from the outset, to use it as an example of why they can’t do x and y in order for the project to be feasible.
