We are on track for a million immigrants this year without the infrastructure or housing for our current population.
> Migration arrivals rose by a third compared with the previous year to hit 765,900, driven by international students and workers on temporary visas, while departures slipped to 217,100.
We are just next door to Asia with many billions of people and the massive Chinese economy. Meanwhile we’re at 26 million for the entire country.
International students and economic migrants price locals out of housing (during covid rents were at all time lows relatively), hammer infrastructure and receive the benefits of the Australian social safety net (medical, etc).
All this happens because we have a kind of entrenched criminal crony class who actively want this. Corruption is absolutely rife and practically omnipresent in this country but it’s not seedy gangsters with briefcases full of us currency, it’s a couple of “mates” giving each other ”favours”.
