Tha next two 'backyard Barbies' I got pencilled inta me 'busy' social calendar ( :) ) are:

1. A get tagether wif some old friends 'n associates - Think I'll give it tha skip tho? As it'll most likely just basically be a bunch of boring old farts sitting around talking about 'tha good ole days' 'n going blah blah about their retirements 'n/or retirement plans; Or if they're not retired, how cum they're not; 'N trying ta convince those who are retired that not bein' retired's not really THAT bad. (Tho technically it's not a barby I 'spose - Wot wif it bein' nosh up in tha city 'n all), and

Is that Credence Clearwater Revival I can hear in the background?

Wow,
Basically the news report gives a deceptive message Foxy. They have lifted "could double migration by 2054 and boost economy" from a hypothetical model whereby migrants would be settled in northern Australia and the number of migrants would increase by 25% up to 2054.

This is how myths get disseminated via the BBQ channel.

Importing people that you don't have to pay to rear and educate as a way out of the shit- isn't actually a way out of the shit.

It just reflects, and ultimately reinforces the short term opportunistic and directionless leadership that has got us into the mess of having to poach from other nations efforts.

But also, there are now a couple of generations of Aborigines who haven't held down a decent job because the State either allowed them to be unnerving exploited, and/or stole most of their earnings under the "trust fund" schemes.

Ultimately, these too are examples of the lack of foresight and opportunism I described.

Chicken and egg?
Can't disagree with that Herbie. There are entire generations who blame migrants for the fact none of their family has held down a job.

No it doesn't. How does that undermine my point that our leaders are do bereft of ideas that all they can do is scratch around in the dust (Mining), or steal other nations human resources?

Well this bit of 'my' comment is actually yours rather than mine mate - It seems? - FYI for others. ('N whilst saying same, I've bin posting here long enough to understand how such 'jumble ups' can happen - So surely no biggy - Just FYI for others as stated):

But Yeah anyway, re 'chicken and egg', I'm about as sure as I can be that that I've commented to you in tha past (tho most likely elsewhere?) that it sort of first struck me in tha late 80s maybe that lots of Whiteys were f***ed - generationally - (like Murris 'n Koories) - Just that they didn't know it yet.

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.
