Cut in Immigration?

Why don't we use our education system to produce this high tech work force instead of throwing our young people on the scrap heap of the gig economy ?

It's "cheaper" to import than to raise our own.

To the financial managers, it make perfect sense.

You get more money from international students. So you reduce places for the locals at the higher education. That's a few coins there.

Then you let those international students who studied here - with their own dole; or you permit those who studied and raised elsewhere - at their own dole too... lure them in and kar-ching, money in the bank.

The locals can, I don't know... it's all the same on a spread sheet anyway.
 
Hmm, guessing it might have to do more with parenting than education...
 
Uncontrolled growth occurs in biological systems too.

It's called cancer.
I wouldn't consider any uncontrolled growth to be a cancer. Cancer by definition is not uncontrolled growth..
 
Ponzi scheme it may be, but someone has to pay tax dudes...do the math or propose a solution that is factual, mathmatical.
If the government is managing the country finances efficiently then taxes should remain in line with inflation as the GST tax does cover. The poorly planned schemes that fritter and block waste tax payer money are many. Too often a cure is sought while in denial of the symptoms.

Im not of the view that industrial capacity is the future. Intellect capacity...
That discounts 75% of humans whom lack the ability to store information and recall it readily.

You really need to become less Party focused IMO.
Neither Party has a monopoly on any moral high ground, and stereo typing the LP as being in the pockets of the gambling industry I would think is misleading, did Labor do anything about gambling.
From memory, didn't a certain Tassie MP do a deal with Gillard over the pokies, just to have Labor reneg on it?
I could be wrong, the memory aint what it used to be.
 
The incidence of melanoma and basal cell carcinoma would fall if we had more darkies in Australia as opposed to the whities.

I'm all for immigration as long as it improves the stock.

I've probably spent too much time in cattle castrating weiners to be objective.

Labor had zip to do with this. Alan Jones is a member of the LNP and is a 24/7 motormouth for the Conservatives and as usual it's everyone else's fault when the fecal matter hits the fan.

Less Party focused? Great idea. Does this apply to everyone? Wanna lead the way?
 

A post of mine recently:

Another good move by the W.A Labor Government, just shows a Party doesn't have to move in with the fringe dwellers, to come up with fair and reasonable policy.

Also it shows you don't have to use a sledge hammer to crack a walnut, it's a shame some of our Federal counterparts can't follow suit, rather than having to make every policy a Nation breaking event to suit the media circus.

Here is another example of the Government looking at the bigger picture, I think the Libs in W.A will have to improve their rhetoric, to land anything on McGowan.

Allow for the worst, hope for the best.

But hey let's just believe what you think, I see Sir Muppett liked it.
 

I didn't disagree with you, just showed that I can give credit, where credit is due.
Shame others can't.
I don't know what you meant by the throwing barbs comment, I thought that was what you were doing.
Oh sorry, it was the sir muppett remark, well we go back a long way, so he won't take it personally.

Well they can speak for themselves...

Over the last month or two I've given credit to ScoMo and Abbott on various issues. And I've given them stick on others. And will continue doing so. I call a spade a spade. If party sycophants choose to extrapolate that into something more extreme then it's a failing of their choosing
 
Well I would say we are on the same page, I think it is great when posters can give honest from the heart opinions, without letting political biases influence it.

Good on you mate.
 

That is a hard one, several Governments(Lab and Lib) over the last 10 years have supported population growth.
The problem with that is if you focus on refugee immigration, they are going to go to Sydney, Melbourne, they are the growing areas, that is where they would have been told to head for. Let's not under estimate social media.lol
If you are wealthy and want to buy your way into Australia, you wouldn't buy a delli or a coffee shop, in Walgett or Wiluna.
Your best chance of making money, if your bailing out of your own Country, is Victoria or NSW or probably Melbourne or Sydney.

So the real question is, when we need all the workers in outback Australia and nobody on the dole wants to go there, you either get new migrants to go there or make unemployed Australians go there, or re introduce 457 visa's.
With the current social agenda, it is much easier to make it a condition of entry, than make unemployed Australians go there.
I don't know how long we can afford to pander to the paradigm.
 
Nothing has changed since Atari's game Kingdom out in spring 1980. It has the answers to immigration/migration:
