Skamy insists Australia is everyones.

Africa for Africans, Asia for Asians but Australia for everyone. Right skamy?
No Leo that is not right - I simply disagree with anyone who judges the value of a migrant on the colour of their skin, their cultural background, or their spiritual or religious beliefs.

The last camp is made up of the doom-and-gloomers. Their slogan is "it's the end of the world as we know it". Right now they are convinced that debt is the evil responsible for all our economic woes and must be eliminated at all cost. Many doom-and-gloomers believe that unprecedented debt levels mean that we are on the precipice of a worse crisis than the Great Depression. The doom-and-gloomers hang on the latest series of negative economic data.

Yes Leo but that was said tongue in cheek in response to some idiot that I was having a conversation with - oh that was you.

I notice that you didn't quote the first part of my response -

Is the word unlimited anywhere in that sentence Doc?

A steady flow until when, Peter? A steady flow until we have 50 million? A steady flow until we have 100 million? 200 million? A steady flow, sustained for long enough, could lead to any population size you desire.

You want unlimited immigration.

More like your "oh so reasonable" mask slipped. Willing to destroy this country and its culture just because someone says something that offends your PC sensibilities. Every finance sector drone like yourself knows constant growth saves them from having to get a real, i.e. productive, job.

I judge the value of an immigration program from it's results and I'm not seeing a whole lot of value adding to our society happening from the current idiotic community destroying immigration program. What's the benefit of mass third world immigration to Australian society outside your little multicultural buzz words - vibrant and diverse? A few ethnic restaurants? Big F deal.

Doc you made the claim that I supported unlimited immigration. I challenged that because I have never stated that.

I certainly don't have the capacity to accurately decide what is the best "number" for Australia and to my knowledge no one at this blogsite has ever made any suggestions on what the ideal number would be. I stay out of immigration threads partly because there is no magic or perfect number and partly because they are full of bickering.

Now you demand that I do something that no one else including yourself has been asked to do, and you don't even give a date.

You have completely made a fool of yourself, and continue to do so because you don't have the strength of character to admit that you were wrong.

Go forth and multiply Doc.

Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.

Forum Rules: The main forum may be used to discuss property, politics, economics and finance, precious metals, crypto currency, debt management, generational divides, climate change, sustainability, alternative energy, environmental topics, human rights or social justice issues, and other topics on a case by case basis. Topics unsuitable for the main forum may be discussed in the lounge. You agree you won't use this forum to post material that is illegal, private, defamatory, pornographic, excessively abusive or profane, threatening, or invasive of another forum member's privacy.

Accusations, attacks, abuse or threats, litigious or otherwise, directed against the forum or forum administrators aren't tolerated and will result in immediate suspension of your account for a number of days depending on the severity of the attack. No spamming or advertising in the main forum. Spamming includes repeating the same message over and over again within a short period of time. Don't post ALL CAPS thread titles. The Advertising and Promotion Subforum may be used to promote your Australian property related business or service. Active members of the forum who contribute regularly to main forum discussions may also include a link to their product or service in their signature block. Members are limited to one actively posting account each. A secondary account may be used solely for the purpose of maintaining a blog as long as that account no longer posts in threads.
