I have relatives living in Balwyn VIC, and the number of drab but palatial painted masonry edifices in that area occupied usually by ONE Chinese student driving a Mercedes is astounding.
One guy built a six car underground carpark under his house. It's taking the price of property outside the realm of the average Aussie and destrying the character of the area.
Your relatives, will probably end up working for the Chinese kid driving the Merc, just give it time.
We wanted great wages, we purchased cheap overseas goods, we brought about our own demise.
Greed is good, untill it becomes the cancer that destroys the dream.
The Chinese, probably due to a Government that has complete control, is escalating their industrialisation at an astonishing rate.
They really do seem to be controlling the expansion of their economy well, there are massive apartment buildings in clusters, some say they are random I think they are planned.
If China moves from small farming villages to broad acre farming, the high density accomodation makes sense.
This sort of **** going on in Melbourne infuriates me. I don't live in such a salubrious suburb as Toorak, but the way these Chinese come in and do this is just so goddamn offensive. A magnificent old home levelled. They have no concept of architectural beauty, nor appreciation of nature. You can bet some f-ugly concrete monstronsity will replace it, housed by people who don't have any interest in speaking English or integrating into Aussie culture.

How can this do anything but create tension? I wouldn't dream of going to another country and behaving like that (not that I'll ever have $20 mill spare). It's so incredibly crass and insensitive.
Melbourne is already becoming like North Korea, as I have stated in my posts with this Labor/Greens Govt, in more ways than one.
I agree, GB, it is sad seeing these historical buildings go.

Maybe, maybe not.
The question is the investor/homebuyer balance in the housing market and the tax and investment rules that determine that balance and what is in the national interest.
It surely must be in the national interest that as many people as possible own their own homes and have an asset that they can reverse mortgage or sell and downsize to a smaller property to finance their retirement.
Too many investors mean too much money going to a small number of people, with a large number of people paying rent and therefore having to rely on the pension in their retirement.
The national interest in this issue is pretty clear to me and the tax and investment laws should reflect that.
The displacement of 'white' Australians is IMO inevitable, we have a falling birthrate and an ageing population.
Whether we like it or not, people will come here to displace us, it is just a matter of who.
China currently have the momentum, with financial means and a population willing to move to build a life, somewhat like our forefathers.
Time will tell, if they fall into the same affluence trap, we have.
It would look bad for White Australians, but I wouldn't worry about it if I was White.
The coloured folks who want to get anywhere, rise any place will have already been white washed that they're more White than the White guysWhat the Americans call a Banana, or an Oreo.
Yeah the Person of Colour (POC) insults.
One has to wonder why, in the US particularly, advanced society is so polarised into ethnic tribes and the need for the tribes to degrade those who want to adopt better lifestyle. The colour on the outside, white on the inside slight is also testament to ill will many have towards whitey.
Coconut, Oreo, Banana, Apples, etc are evidence of people who won't make it in their own tribe let alone in the wider community. It's predicated on the need to be stereotypes, misplaced pride, etc ... a sell out and subservience to skin colour prejudice.

Makes me wonder why Michael Jackson tried so hard to be white considering all the very successful black entertainers.
So anyway, I find this all quite sad because I like Aussie cultrue and can see the writing on the wall. People don't seem to notice change, or perhaps they don't mind it. The sheer numbers are absolutely staggering, and what sort of sour, po-faced culture are they pushing? Just have a little drive around Doncaster, Balwyn, Box Hill, Fairlfield, Hawthorn, Carlton and the city centre. We get 100,000 new settlers in Melbourne every year and most of them seem to be Chinese.
I like to avoid Melbourne and Sydney, there's still plenty of nice towns in Australia that are 95%+ white. In the long-term we are all stuffed, but I don't plan on living forever.

Who are the other 5%?
You could probably narrow that down to within the 30% (6 millions) of Australians who were born overseas.
Of course there are whiteys and there are whiteys ..... the real whiteys in Oz come from Northern Europe extraction, the rest are just lighter shades of black ......
