lots of foreigners are arriving because Melbourne is still more attractive than many places overseas (please note they are not at fault for Melbourne being a cesspit most of the scum are locals and the problem is lack of infrastructure being delivered before population arrives)

Shows how out of touch whoever decides the most livable city is as Melourne is a dirty over populated piece of crap probably only more livable than Sydney out of our capitals and will fall below them soon the way things are going.
There is a reason more and more long term residents are heading...
Xi not China. Once Xi and his cronies are removed by the Chinese people (which grows closer each day as his regime continues to fail hence his tightening of controls and more aggression towards his peaceful neighbours) the world will be a much better place.

Apparently fled Saudi due to persecution from extreme wahhists. Saudi and unnamed countries were warning German police apparently about comments he was making on line but they declined to investigate.

Hates Muslim refugees and considers them likely to cause violence but he is the refugee who committed violence - seriously messed up logic.
Not good that the police were warned by multiple agencies and sat on their hands.

Subsequently stolen by a student who then set-up with support with another governments support one of the largest solar companies in the world. Whilst our government dithered.

We oppose any forceful unification by the CCP which is what Xi is threatening and of course his illegal and growing seizure of Phillipimes territory, seizure of Bhutanese land, threats to Vietnamese, pushes against Indonesia around Netunas.

It probably hasn't cost us much, beyond allowing Xi to treat us as clients rather than equals and weakening our support in the region for the peaceful nations he wants to attack.
Note - going public is counter productive, behind the scenes quiet work is what will succeed and above all never...
Libs were awful the way they worded things and turned well justified concerns into propaganda wins for Xi by blaming China rather than the Xi dictatorship.
Should we really celebrate the government ending what would.have been found by the WTO to be illegal tarrifs given it is due to our...
So Australia's fault not Xi who
personally approved and has provided significant support directly and indirectly to Russia's unprovoked. Good to see you will support any dictators talking points, I guess you will be blaming Taiwan when millions of their civilians are killed and wounded when Xi...
Did the campaign by miners really influence voters or did Gillard panic and dump the tax when in reality polls were low for other reasons?

As I said she is an improvement on the past but it is becoming very clear all she does is talk, isn't achieving anything. More of a (very smart).lecturer than a leader.

Has she given IBAC its funding and powers.back so it can finally investigate the corruption endemic in the Victorian government?

I would agree that Chalmers has challenges as the laws that need to be passed would encounter resistance that he would ideally push through.
Marles and Wong's failures are across the board. Marles has dodged the tough calls and just created more senior crats while cutting/delaying capability...
There was massive waste and profiteering which a properly structured policy could have been avoided not to mention simple measures that could have helped the unemployed such as employing them to point directions or fill in paperwork at covid points in airports rather than taking military staff...
I don't know which is worse - Albo having three senior ministers (Marles, Chalmers and Wong) who should all be sacked for incompetence or that all three are still much better than their LNP shadow equivalents.

As always, you make very good points.
I only listed 143k because it is impossible to tell how much the skilled migration streams can be cut without a proper review instead of the current process which is based on political needs.
In an ideal world, we wouldn't have a set number before doing a...
ALP and LNP are both addicted to.high immigration to pretend the economy is not in recession and to make donors happy
ALP are normally more honest about it but Albos actions have shown he now will happily promise to cut immigration towards a more sensible target but won't actually do it.
On...
23k family, 70k+ working holidays, 50k kiwis, student visas getting extended with no requirement to be a critical skill and that is before tightening up the skilled scheme to focus on actual needs. Government could easily and should cut net migration by at least another 100k and preferably 150k...
Note above. I said Libs were worse.
Perhaps Albo shouldn't have promised to cut numbers and failed dismally. Sounds like controlling NZ immigration rather tha opening the floodgates is one step as is not extending student visas (unless we need a critical skill) once they finish their course...
We need more migrants with the right skills which can be achieved whilst still cutting the overall intake. Lots of unskilled migrants we don't need, and skills that are no longer or never needed but got on the list because some donor lobbied a polly.

Tens of thousands higher than
Albanese promised to cut it in recognition it was impacting on Australia.
Being lower the disastrous forecasts of the Libs is better than the alternative but still a failure and broken promise

This one is a genuine failure that has hurt Austalians, the treasurers excuse "people decided to stay longer' is pretty lame since the government approved those visa extensions. Easy fix, direct the aps today that no further visa extensions will be provided for non skilled people who apply as of...
Didn't she do a deal and cooperate with the Indonesian authorities so she got a reduced sentence not really the same as the government using time, money and influence to get the rest home.

Because what people see doesn't match that or is perceived to be aligned with their concerns.
Inflation on highly visible products is far higher than 3%. Our cities are increasingly congested and rentals hard to get whilst net immigration remains excessive. Underemployment is high.

He definitely didn't screw public servants, just sat quietly and watched Katy Gallagher (who is worse).do it
He has certainly started to talk about the terrible NACC (which was one of his platforms) but it is the same weak NACC he voted for.
Please note just because I think he will struggle to...
Power outages all across the west of the state now despite massive taxes and charges.
Nothing to see here though as marginal seats and foreign donors to the ALP are still getting the white elephant SRL.
