I believe we have an immigration initiative for certain skills - these skills that most Australians aren't taking up.
Firstly, that's mostly not what immigration is today.
Second, we need a lot construction workers, but they mostly aren't coming in because the government is in cahoots with the unions to prevent them having to compete with foreign workers.
Third, "they aren't taking up" mostly because wages aren't given a chance to rise to attract people because of immigrants. Australians will do any number of different jobs, and in a normal system wages adjust to move labor to where it's needed.
Furthermore, in Austrlia we have temporary work visas for the category you describe, such as seasonal fruit pickers.
I mean for things that supposedly need doing by people permanently immigrating here, like aged care.
People in Australia don't want kids. We're at an ultimatum - either allow the population to crash at this rate or bring in immigrants.The fertility rate isn;t going to increase since most Australians are living comfortable lives - lives that children would ruin. Children cost too much. The housing market it strained.
I've already explained why this is total bullshit. Immigrants aren't having significantly more kids than Australians, and if you grow the population through immigration of people who don't meaningfully increase the net birth rate (i.e. male immigrants), this INCREASES the dependency ratio over time and you will have even more old people that need to be maintained relative to young workers, which means immigration would have to increase indefinitely to provide enough young workers to care/pay for the ever increasing number of old people.
And there is no "ultimatum". This is not why we have so much immigration. We have immigration because it benefits financial and political interests. Australia's population without immigration isn't facing any kind of imminent collapse. It would peak and slowly decline, and would happen slowly enough that it could be managed, especially with technological advances that will allow countries to do more with less. But again, 'population collapse' isn't even the motivation for Australia's very high immigration rate.
Additionally, one of the main reason young Australians avoid or delay children is because they cannot afford to buy a house. They either have to rent a house or buy or rent an apartment. Housing unaffordability (buy or rent), uncertainty (renting) and housing density (apartments/units) all
strongly predict low fertility. And the reason why houses are so scarce and so expensive is because the population has ballooned by millions of people in relatively short time.
Immigration is an important part of the Australian economy, that's undeniable. However, is the housing issues is so bad, instead of attacking people who will LIVE in these subpar houses shouldn't we consider the foreign investors taking up a considerable amount of homes and artificially inflating rent?
Population growth has has a vastly greater impact on housing affordability and availability than foreign investors. The fact that they're "LIVING" in these houses is why it's so hard and expensive to buy a house. It's not something positive they're doing. And nobody's more againt foreign ownership than me, but they can only buy new properties, they can't buy up existing stock. And their ownership is often for themselves or their children to live in, so it's not even meaningfully different to immigrants consuming housing stock anyway, the thing you said wasn't a problem.
Labour is bringing is more immigrants because it's a WORKING party, and guess what immigrants do, WORK hard.
No dumb dumb. It's supposed to be a party for workers, as in AUSTRALIAN workers. Flooding the country with immigrants is BAD for Australian workers, which is why corporations support it, why property investors and developers support it etc. Why would wages ever meaningfully increase if you can just bring in a million people from India who will take the job at lower pay? It's making rich australians richer at the expense of everyone else, and Labor does it because they end up voting Labor.
Only the majority of Australians immigrants have initiative to work rather than taking their lives for granted.
How embarassing for all these hard-working foreigners that inferior Australians built a better country in a century or two than they and their ancestors could in thousands of years!
Not only do immigrants have to deal with racism, they have to live their lives as second-class citizens.
You cry about "racism" right after declaring Australians are lazy and inferior to immigrants. Fuck off lmao.
Instead of attacking immigrants this about the true blue "Aussies" who live off Centrelink
I wasn't aware if we were deciding to bring in more white people to use centerlink. You know, the way we bring in hundreds of thousands of immigrants a year?
who take away from the economy, and also think immigration is bs. These individuals live off the wages of immigrants
The vast majority of all net tax revenue in Australia is generated by white Australians. And you think Sudanese immigrants are working hard and not collecting welfare? lmao
yet choose to attack them. Why are 20% of Australians on Centrelink? `Why is the majority of these people unwilling to get a job? Well don't blame the immigrants because Australians are too lazy, immigrants are taking up the unwanted jobs.
Ah yes, just imagine how poor us dumb lazy white Australians would be without an army of brown people delivering uber eats! They're truly the foundation of our economy!
How sad that billions of these people can't build countries worth staying in, but are magically the reason Australia is prosperous even though we were prosperous long before they got here!
Imagine all the cool studies we would get on far-right psychology
