Without fixing the homeless problem add another 200k. Its absolute insanity. Infrastructure is not up to standard to bring in more and more we will all suffer.
The houses will all go to free loading migrants who are given comp from the government. Most of the migrants, save a few good ones who will try to contribute, are NPCs
Tell them to work harder not slower Everything is expensive so try telling them to be independent and smart that way they can save money and buy a house Remember it's 2023 not 1993 😂
Its because they are not working hard enough and they are spending more than they are earning, why lots of migrants end up making their own homes where locals find it hard to make their homes?? its simple because migrants know the importance of not spending more than what they earn and they end up saving a lot which you don't
650.000 Migrants will vote for the Government that give them a new country to live in and the benefits as well .This is Albo's idea to help get his racist voice scam over the line and also to help him stay in Government at the next Fed election more migrants = more votes for him.

The biggest lie is that Australia is a large country so it needs more people. 70% of Australia is uninhabitable desert , if you take into accout the land that is actually habitable Australia is no larger then New zealand.

"Not a worker shortage, more like a welfare surplus !" No it's not. The problem is that there is a refusal to train people to do jobs & the jobs in the rural areas don't have anyone to do them because those jobs have been taken up by backpackers for 20+ years, forcing locals to move out of those rural areas & in to urban population centers looking for work. It's got nothing to do with welfare & everything to do with government protectionism.
It’s simple. More people means more consumers. More consumers means more earners and more tax. It makes economy stronger. With some states now broke, it is one of the choices. Working population is needed whether local born or overseas.
@@DS-nx6zq Migrants cost. They compete with Australians for the time and attention of Australian-trained doctors, nurses and teachers. Migrants crowd up infrastructure that existed before they arrived, for which they haven't paid and will never pay for. Migrants contribute to the need for more infrastructure that everyone has to pay for, not just the newcomers that make it necessary. We have plenty of workers. All that we need. What does it matter if employers don't fill all their vacant positions? They should offer higher wages.
Once a aussie women in her thirties told that she simpley does not want to work as she gets more welfare than the paid job. Also average aussie expects to roll in range rover while fixing pipes or working as a barista. America being more richer and higher GDP/capita than australia never offers such generous welfare. Thus more industrialised and high innovation. Australia simply imports all aspects of well developed nation. Brisbane transport system including Translink card is pucca copy of oyester card in UK.
You asked the wrong people, you asked mainly boomers that most likely own property.

Lets not turn yourself in to Canadian housing crisis please.
Australian housing crisis is literally at the same level as Canada’s. Been in both countries. Both countries are fucked. They need to have their own people have more babies. They need to mass educate those babies in manufacturing, STEM, etc. They need to completely eradicate drugs and vapes and other things that make a population unhealthy. They need to bring family structure back.
Pollies are seriously short sighted when it comes to policy. Our unemployment rate is going to rise rapidly in the next 6 months. When America sneezes the rest of the world catches a cold? They are on their 3rd quarter of negative GDP, it's a recession. The housing market is in freefall, worse than 2008. The RBA has stopped raising rates. Rates go up pause and the go down. When the rate goes down you know your in trouble, it's happened before and it will happen again. Because of stimi-checks and lockdowns the whiplash effect is going to be massive. People are already struggling with power bills and food price increases. Now we have to compete with 600,000 more people looking for work. It's the Labour Party's (commies) way of having open boarders and buying votes. If we siphon of the best and brightest from other countries, aren't we condemning those countries to poorer outcomes. Why does the government outsource medicine production and stifled investment in manufacturing? Where are they going to get rare earth oxides from? China? Why destroy working infrastructure, coal fired power stations, when the alternatives can't fill the gap? Don't know. Why is Australia one of the biggest producers of uranium, but we only have a "medical reactor". Don't know. What are they going to do with all the broken solar panels? Don't know. Where are the going to get the magnets for wind turbines? Don't know. Why is the government so reliant on China, to the point we can't make our own stuff. Narcissistic globalists are not right in the head. What's the Australian military going to do without chips when China invades Taiwan? Where do we fit in with China's world domination plan? Is it a coincidence that Putin an XI where both WEF young leaders? And both are at war with the west. Conspiracies are mostly correct these days.
Quiet Ackshon - We buy from China so we don't have to make anything. If we don't manufacture, then we don't need to invest and train staff - and so we logically will have a skills shortage. We sell our raw mineral resources as we find that easier than making stuff, but that creates jobs for only the wealthy. The poor are limited to low paying unskilled labour or service based jobs. Most engineers and doctors are now Chinese or Indian. What goes around comes around. If we import, the Aussie Government makes a lot more money in import duties and taxes. The governments who make these dumb decisions won't be in office in a few years, so they don't need to take responsibility and wont be held accountable after they have died. They can sit on their retirement packages and tell the rest of us to "fuck off" when we complain about the future results showing themselves for what they are.

Or is it the Democrats unfulfilled economic promises, the 2 year and 10 year inversion or the stimie-check issue? Perhaps it's the continuous stream of lies coming from the White House.
The point is that the government is not even trying to attract the 'right' skilled workers. Instead, they have granted permanent residency to those who never obtained a proper degree, never set foot in Australia, and never studied here. These individuals are a group of people who couldn't even find a job in countries like China or India, yet they have been granted permanent residency by the Australian government. Meanwhile, those with RIGHT skills who are already residing in Australia and contributing to their communities have been left out by the incompetent labor party.
So more migrants coming to put more pressure on our water supplies. But if we do have migrants, make sure they have trade or other tertiary qualifications. And they need to make a genuine effort to assimilate.
This is ridiculous when the homeless have increased by 3x, labor/greens have to be the biggest idiots... regional areas are not in that much desperation, the homeless are in desperation
And it is a false claim. We are the descendants of migrants, like everyone else on the planet. It is only the mass immigration since the Howard government, that has increased the proportion of foreigners among us. We are still mostly Australian born, though many of us have foreign parents. Last time we had so many immigrants was during the gold rushes.
I heard a native Australian reporter asked native residents whether they want thieves and crooks from Britain in their country. The view was aggressively NOOOO.
Sure but who exactly is the Australian you referring to. 30% were born outside Australia. 51% are either born overseas or their parents were born overseas. This is mostly young and effectively paying for welfare in Australia.
@@clemfandango619 So your definition is those not born in Australia, and their kids. So 51% since they or their parents are not Australian , the argument was way forward is Australians should produce next generation, the stated 51% non Australians are actually of age which can have children, since in order to immigrate you need to be below 45. So essentially u want about 10% (rough math) thrid generation Australian to reproduce to sustain population? Moreover for some reason above comment said "not Indians, Arabs or Chinese" although the largest population of migrants in Australia is from UK.
@@clemfandango619 So ur problem is not immigrants but non-whites? Let's remove the whole lot of 51% Australians and every immigrant other than whites. This will being down population to probably 12 million, of which most UK immigrant would be in older category, and most would also be unskilled since whole reason of skilled immigration is skilled labour shortage. This wipes all taxes paid by migrants, do u think Australia will sustain population and welfare with no immigration? Look at the issues Japan is facing with its extremely stringent immigration policy. Also this is one's migrating permanently, think about the one who work here temporarily and get no welfare but pay same taxes. This is the lot mostly funding Oz welfare with nothing in return in terms of welfare guarantee. The only issue I see with high immigration is Housing, which is something government should look into. As per available stats each migrant add 10% more to GDP than existing people. And by projection by 2050 they will contribute 1.6 trillion to GDP, that is almost same as Aus current total GDP.
Absolutely not!!!! Australia’s infrastructure is struggling as it is, the last thing we need is more people coming here. We need to shut down immigration for at least 10 years.
The absolute core issue is being overlooked. Birth rates in free fall is a direct consequence of hyper feminism. The communities which have better birth rates might lack first world civic sense. But, their birth rates are better due to stronger emphasis on traditional gender roles and much longer lasting marriages.
G A - I love kids and would have more tomorrow, if I could find an Aussie woman that was supportive and not a gold digger in the family court - and I would be able to have a stable house and not rent. I've moved 39 times since my second divorce in 2001 and lost not one but TWO homes to my ex in court over a technicality. This meant I had to move interstate to get housing rather than stay with my 3 married kids and 3 grandsons - who don't give a fuck about their father's mortality. My mental and physical health is now failing as I get older, as would it be for any kids living with me in a transitory lifestyle. Unfortunately in this day and age if a man loves kids, he has to be a closet pedophile - not a father figure; - so what's the point !
That and more young people having to live longer with their parents due to being unable to afford a home or even find a place they can afford to rent. Can't imagine a young couple wanting to start a family out of one of their parents spare rooms.
GA Birth rates will rise if the people see a healthy and happy FUTURE. If a dystopian future is all they have to look forward to, they will avoid having families. Surely that's obvious !!!
@@kimbal1958 My thoughts exactly. The legal system and social norms have incentivized divorce and hypergamy for women. Men literally have every reason to shun the institution of marriage, having kids and raising a family. I played the dating musical chairs sham for quite a while. As my mates and acquaintances around me got married, I dodged the bullet of getting hitched. It is no coincidence that most of my mates are either divorced, or separated, or locked into a destructive marriage that is ruining their finances and peace of mind. With literally no tangible benefits in return. I am in my early forties, never married and debt free. Absolutely no regrets. Life is too short to worry about changing demographics and political gamesmanship played by the permanent political establishment.

Same in the UK, especially London! Then they say Brits are too lazy to do the job 🙄 This happened in the building trade too, advertising the jobs in Poland to unskilled workers, an🤷 Don't get me wrong, the polish are very hard working people, and they have their own highly skilled workers, but it was mostly unskilled that was getting first offers of a job, because they except the lower rates of pay. They they live 10- 15 people in a small apartment and have little overheads.

@@tazoman26 the sports industries is unironically the single most vital part of this country's economy, why would you learn maths when you could be a field runner or a sprinter? Not to mention most people instead of going to university, would rather do a apprenticeship in construction, because only work related to real estate development is just about the only thing worth anything as a skillset here aside from sports
That's very true, most of the local crowd is not willing to study medical, science & technology, engineering, IT, Math etc as studying and working in these sectors in general is pretty boring compared to more exciting and creative fields like Fashion, Hospitality, Retail, beauty, sports etc. Hence there is acute shortages of skilled employees.
You asked older people if Australia needs more immigrants. And they answered yes. Because they stand to benefit from increasing real estate prices. They need more nurses and care givers very soon. You asked the youth and the new immigrants and they said no because they are the ones who is suffering the most. This is going to lead to a decline in family formation and less children will be born in Australia. Meaning Australia will need more immigrants to make up for the tax revenue.
Immigrants cost. The tax revenue that they contribute is used up to pay for the extra infrastructure that they make necessary. Why does everyone assume that these latecomers will vote for politicians who will look after ageing white people? More likely, they will vote for politicians who will allow them to bring their own elderly to use infrastructure that they haven't paid for and never will pay for.

In 1984, Bob Hawke refuted the claims made by professor Blainey that, "it was an agenda by the government and big business to Asianize Australia". At that time Hawke responded with saying: "It's not my intention or, that of my government, to Asianise Australia. In fact, Asians won't even be four percent of the population by 2000." Well, when the year 2000 came around, the official ABS figures had Asiatics to be 7.6% of Australia's population. In other words DOUBLE what Hawke falsely espoused. Twenty years later in 2020, Asiatics had surged to become 18% of the population (ethnic-Chinese account for the clear majority). And now in 2023, Asiatics are over 24% of the total popultion. Included in that number are over 400,000 people in the country occupying educational institutions. In addition to that, a cabal of other non-Anglo/European ethnocultural groups accrue to being 11% of the country's population. However, the non-AE component of Sydney and Melbourne's populations have them being slight majorities of both cities. In numerous suburbs of either city, such as Burwood, Hurstville and Wolli Creek in Sydney Asiatics account for 80% of all the residents. This comes to pass, because there are close to 900,000 people in each city who aren't citizens: the largest cohort being international students. But what's so incredible is with how at, the same time Labor is pushing for a "Yes" vote for the Voice, it has an open-borders program of people from non-AE sources who have no sense of guilt for dispossessing indigenous people.
Interesting take, doesnt matter where people are from, there is just too many. And we are all paying for it. Litterally check the bottom of you tax return.
@@allong4709 Allong, you say, "it doesn't matter where people are from", which is fine so long as they aren't in such numbers that, they go from being significant in numbers to re-colonising not just a few suburbs but electorates. A galling example of re-colonisation is in the Parramatta area. Whereby, in less than two decades, Indians, and others from the Subcontinent, have gone from being less than 2 percent of the district to now being (overall) 40 percent but, in the suburbs of Harris Park, Westmead and Wentworthville, they're between 65-75 percent. Hence, because they are the absolute majority of suburbs means that they need not integrate into society and must inevitably use their numbers, which by 2034, there'll be a total of 3 million people of Indian heritage in Australia. So, if anyone deludes themselves that when Indians become such a significant part of the population, and they hold, up to a dozen seats in the federal parliament that, they won't organise against Australia live in Nania. To sustain this prediction is irrefutably proven by virtue of 20,000 fanatical Indians paying between 80 to 3,000 dollars to hear Modi address them at Olympic Park a few weeks ago. What a horror awaits us in a decades time.
As someone who has lived and worked in the US and the EU, I chose to move to Australia for the weather and be closer to some friends and family here. When I arrived as a skilled migrant around 15 years ago, the housing market was still manageable and transport issues weren't as bad. Now in 2023 after a raft of transportation projects and FHB allowances and what not, things have almost hit the fan. I am particularly unimpressed with the FHB allowances, there is no point in having them since the prices get jacked up and the so-called allowance vanishes without making a dent in the amount of money one needs to cough up to own a place.
I came to Australia as an immigrant 60 years ago. It was no different. There were few jobs, and most did not last long! A lot of Australia is surplus to requirement. We refuse to accept the truth. Most people struggled to live at any time.
@@shyamchabra5355 do you see australia making the same mistakes as 60 years ago? We had the baby boom back then, now there are so many baby boomers and they require more health care and more aged care, so the government say we need an immigrant boom to care for the baby boomers. Now in another 60 years we will need another boom to take care of today’s immigrant boom that have become older. That’s how I see it.

Decentralisation is one of the considerations to alleviate urbanisation. Most of migrants settle in cities, because the rural Australian areas don't have convenience and employment opportunities.
Hiroko, If you imagine that the VAST MAJORITY of immigrants would even consider living in a regional area of Australia extols how deluded you must be. Because the reality is that, virtually every migrant is like Dick Wittington and is looking for a place where the streets are paved with gold. Apart from that, do you think that all bar the odd soul would come here to live in Dubbo or Wagga? Please, spare are this fanciful crap.
I personally know staff in QLD health departments, ranging from HR departments right into the on ground staff in hospitals. During covid was huge job layoffs, these people are doing work of 2-3 people. With next to no staff, they are crying for more staff to help. They’re management saying they trying to employ people but none apply. We know this is a lie as myself and other have applied for positions, that we are skilled, educated and more than capable of doing. We all get rejected!!! The staff ask their management about this, with responses from their management saying things like “no one has applied”. It’s all a big fat lie!
For those that don't apply for jobs - get rid of the vaccine mandates and people might rethink the job application. Its basically discrimination by having such - not about health and safety. Lots of new evidence against the vaccines being life threatening.
You would get new staff if those people thought they would find affordable decent accommodation to live in that area. No housing means the people will not risk moving even for a new job which would increase knowledge and practice. Where will the poorly paid immigrants live? Do you want to put them up in containers like Qatar workers?
Sounds like an investigation is urgently required into the characters involved in perpetuating the myth that no one applies. We could do with some grown ups taking the reigns here.... Unbelievable!!! If you don't give a sh*t, GET OUT. Enough Crap
Yes people do apply- but senior management put constraints on the staffing budget. So as a consequence, skilled, capable people are rejected because they are too expensive. Hospitals want cheap labour. Overseas migrants are cheap labour. You then see local people lose a job they could perform to a migrant.
Personally, I've seen the other side of the coin. Non qualified people hired to fill vacant positions. But most of these people resign after 6-12 months because it is too much work for them. And they can easily find another less demanding job.
It is illogical if they are thinking of fulfilling the demands of the labour force, such as staff for hospitals, nursing homes, and schools etc, it only adds a small supply with increased demand. The demand is always greater than the supply. We still haven't learnt the management of resources.

Our own citizens cannot change jobs or move interstate to a new job because of the lack of housing, high and unregulated rents in short supply and others are forced out of work because they cannot afford urgent dental care or needed medical care let alone get on a waiting list. So many Australian citizens still do not have a home so does the government want to open new caravan parks to house the proposed new cheap labour immigrants or put them in containers as Qatar does?

so they will take p more Australian jobs and more homes that we dont have and poor infrastructure to cater for it all.. fk that... how many are still sacked for not being forced into the jab
Where exactly are 650,000 SKILLED workers coming from. How many people are homeless our structure can't cope. How embarrassing for them when they take these homes off the homeless. We always have welcomed them into society because we ourselves come from immigrants but not now. We need to fix what we got first. There also needs to be an investigation on why people are on jobseeker for longer than a year. They need to help these people get them help for jobs or these companies get fined.
Everyone on the planet comes from immigrants. But not all immigrants have paid for our infrastructure and public services. Economic growth is ruining Australia.
In reality tough to add millions even though Australia is so large. A huge portion of land is not as hospitable for large numbers of people. So basically millions more would make current areas higher density. Plus it would cause migration to new suburbs which would need costly infrastructure.
Rubbish. Even with most of the continent uninhabitable, there's still plenty of room along most of the lush green eastern seaboard. People from overseas (and not necessarily from just overcrowded third world countries) will rightfully laugh in your face for suggesting that Australia can't efficiently handle more. It's just that most Australians are dumb and want to huddle together in cities despite all the empty regional space. Or more like successive governments are to blame for creating an economy that more-or-less forces people to live in cities just for the work purposes. Bit of both perhaps. And another problem many of us Aussies have is the spoiled entitlement mentality of living in large cities yet still wanting to live on large property blocks (preferably with a 1-story house), causing wasteful low density urban sprawl and all the problems associated with it.
I want to know where are they going to live? Australians can’t get housing. We desperately need more affordable housing for Aussies first! People are homeless!
More people will increase our carbon emissions! September 8, 2022 Australia's parliament on Thursday passed government legislation enshrining a pledge to cut carbon emissions by 43% by 2030 and to net zero by 2050, with the support of the Greens party and independents. "The passage of the climate change legislation sends a message to the world that Australia is serious about driving down emissions, and serious about reaping the economic opportunities from affordable renewable energy," Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen said in a statement.
Exactly, this is a point that isn't brought up enough. It tends to break lefty NPC brains, asking how they reconcile being so pro mass migration with their climate change agenda, given they want to import lots of people from countries with a low per capita carbon footprint to countries like Australia with a much higher per capita carbon footprint.
Need to make sure 100% of the migrants are working, contributing to society and paying tax like the rest of us. We don't want to be importing bag ladies, unskilled or unwilling to up skil,l dragging on our tax system, ie unemployment, disability or any type pension.

To be honest with you. Australia really need a similar race like immigrants from Euro to come over. However this priminister has shaken hands with the indian prime minister MODI already and that means that this country policy is to get south Asian immigrants only. So they make it harder for folks elsewhere to enter deliberately.
I think the reason why the government needs more migrants is because Australia needs more migrants to support the housing market. If the house price drop. Then, banks have to call the loan. When this happens, the impact will affect not only the people who use properties to achieve positive gearing and financial independence but also mortgage holders. The worse case is the banks will collapse because every borrower is leveraging their property portfolio. In the end, all our savings in the banks will be gone into thin air.
Banks have to have enough money in reserve to cover all their lones and so much of our money in savings is covered by the government if by any chance anything happens.
I hope that Australians are aware that bringing immigrants is also bringing their problems, I honestly believe that people do not visualize the problems of those who come from failed states
Exactly. Just look at the state of Britian today. London isn't even British anymore. In France and Germany, there are literally muslim no-go-zones which are basically a mini Islamic caliphates right in the middle of Europe. It's insane. We don't want that in Australia.
@@ashley-fk6dp It's only a matter of time before you turn out like France unless the German government does something about it - which they most likely won't.
Big Australia is poor Australia. Wealth gets watered down, smaller piece of the pie for everyone. People say yes without knowing the consequences. Explain to them what happens when you flood the country with cheap labor. We had to lock down in Vic for 2 years because our health care system wouldn't cope and imagine what another 500k people would do to that. We are not setup for Big Australia. Want Australians to have more babies?? Stop destroying the family unit and looking down on women that want to be stay at home mums. Everyone has the right to work if they choose but don't justify the over spending of government's and their need for more to support the system with woke garbage ideology.
labor and greens say the land belongs to the Aborginies, l bet the aboriginies dont want billions of immigrants invading their land , so why doesnt labor listen the the aboriginies, l thought thats what the voice is about
I am migrant and I disagree to mass migration, it is only to bring more slaves and rise prices of accommodations not an advantage for us already in Australia.
It was funny to see one of the feminist vice reporters go to Afghanistan and actually talk to an ISIS leader about women's right's there. He basically said there will be none - and she had this shocked face, realising there is not a thing she can do about it. Yet we bring in immigrants with those same values.
It's a double edged sword. Given muslim immigrants especially are one of the Left's favoured 'pets' of their victimhood hierarchy, they can much more easily fight back against the domination of overbearing woke LGBTQ+XYZ gender ideology crap and excessive feminism for the benefit of all parents and children.
Importing skills doesnt work when those foreign skilled even if business people will not employ locally born Australians. Many hate the local aussies and only come here with idea of social displacement & replacement on their minds.
Let's raise our population by 1 million when we already don't have enough homes to house our own , that's real smart . Who could have thought of that .
Australia should invest in Australians first, then consider bringing in highly skilled labor on a trial basis, then from there consider establishing them as permanent residence with a possibility of citizenship down the road 5-10 year after residency...
Zeta, The BIG AUSTRALIA cohorts are forever prattling on about "skilled labour". However, of any given 100,000 people who arrive in Australia on a non-tourist visa, only 15,000 will be skilled. For starters, 45% of the people who've been permitted to innundate Australia on a non-tourist visa are interloping international students. Of course, someone who is a student is almost certain to have no worthwhile skills - unless you consider someone delivering food on a bike as being 'skilled'. In essence, the great majority of international students generate no wealth, and are burdens upon the system. Most significantly, with being a major reason why renting a property is either near impossible or, indeed, why rents are exhorbitant. As well, for every skilled migrant there will be, on average, 1.5 people who are their dependents - a wife and child/children.
I'm an Aussie who has applied for numerous MR driving positions.they don't want me.but every time I see a delivery truck drive by it has an Indian at the wheel.
Sorry i thought Albo was concerned about Climate change? if we are at 1.7 fertility rate isn't that a good thing? doesn't that place less pressure on housing , health, energy requirements and resource consumption? .. doesn't that mean we will create less emissions?.. oh sorry i started to think logically there for a second..
Remember Penny Wong needs to keep up her agreement with China, Labor biggest sell outs of Australian People, remember Albanese swong song, brought up single mother etc etc
