[@Dottydawes]

You got it right. The loss of freedoms started in the late 70’s and have been ingrained into the citizens on the belief it’s for the greater good. Look no further than the Covid fiasco. A prime example - BLM protests had no masks and zero social distancing period. No one arrested, just accepted. What, a month later people protest the Covid lockdowns and all hell breaks loose arrests everywhere, Police being very enthusiastic (excessive force) manhandling those arrested. If you mentioned Covid protests on line you were arrested. Absolute goat rodeo and the apathy by the masses was pitiful (a shoutout to Dana Andrew’s). Excessive immigration at a time there simply wasn’t the jobs or housing available. You wonder why prices of homes are through the roof. Folks better wake up and holding the political class accountable. Irrespective of which side of the isle they are in they are selling the country out. Don’t do what the people want, out, one term wonders. Start throwing in some large scale PEACEFUL protests for good measure and maybe it can be turned around.

Regarding international students, at least 50% of them come to Australia to work. In some of the colleges the class rooms are nearly empty because most of them are working doing two to three jobs. Some of them can't speak English, how did they pass the English test and get visa approvals. Is immigration monitoring their attendance and progress in the colleges?. It's a bloody joke. As for immigrants thinking that Australia is the land of opportunity, it isn't anymore. The dream of owning a home is out of the window for most of the young people and it's the same in the UK, Canada and the US. I migrated to Australia in 1978 and happened to be one of the lucky ones as it was the land of opportunity at the time. I'm enjoying my retirement in Australia, the best country in the world and I do live a moderate lifestyle but at the same time I feel for those that are struggling.

To me, the video is somewhat truthful and somewhat simplistic. I came here from the United States almost 35 years ago. I never had what I would consider to be a 'high paying' job with the exception of being a bus driver in Canberra over 11 years before I retired in 2021. My wife is a University employee in administration and has been in that role for going on 22 years. We bought a house after renting for over 20 years in 2015 and paid it off in under 6 years. We have no debts, except recurring bills which everyone has. Since Covid, it's true, prices have rocketed higher for homes and for rents, but that's true also in virtually every western nation. Australia is still a place where there are very good opportunities if you show initiative and apply yourself, just like anywhere else. I certainly have no intention of going back to the US and frankly, I don't think I would live anywhere else other than here, except possibly the South Island of NZ and that's not very likely.

There was a plea for immigrants to Australia just after WW2, which stated 'populate or perish' meaning Australia needed more people.

I lived in Australia for over 3 years. Moved back to UK. This video shows scenes of cities; Australia is mostly desert. It is way underdeveloped and needs more industrialisation and agriculture to support a growing population. New cities would help, but managing natural resources and a balance of imports/exports is vital.

[@angrytedtalks]

@prebenpetersen5982 The population needs to grow if the economy is going to grow. It isn't shrinking right now, but "rapid" growth is offset by waves of recent immigrants feeling unwelcome or too poor to thrive. Most of these immigrants are from SE Asian countries which are overpopulated. I left in 1967 - very different times.

[@bradj6985]

I'm unsure you are aware of recent developments in Australia pertaining to the level of migration here. Since the Labor party took office, they have imported more than a million migrants in order to manipulate our economic figures and thereby to deceive the Australian people. They have introduced these people during a time of economic recession and the worst housing crisis in Australian history. Australians now face the ridiculous situation where the government pays 81% of all salaries, we have more than a million unemployed and nowhere to house our immigrants. Our cost of living is out of control, our wages are stagnant and the only thing the government can think to do is to pay cost of living payments to the legions of Aussies now on benefits. These are the worst experiences Australia has ever endured under the worst government in Australian history.

[@aaajjj9632]

sorry to hear all this. this is a result of democracy or demoncrazy, its a bad thing, all democratic countries are in trouble. A benevolent dictator or monarchy is much better. Also with intermixing of races wholesale, this was bound to happen.

[@bradj6985]

@aaajjj9632 the current state of affairs in the world today has nothing to do with the lack of benevolent dictatorship nor of white supremacy. This current state of affairs bears the hallmarks of capitalists winning the class struggle to push wages down and raising the rate of surplus value by price gouging and shrinkflation. As more and more of the factors of production including land and property are scooped up by the landed gentry, a population of disenfranchised Proletariat will emerge who are no longer able to feed themselves or their families - the under consumption of the masses - due to the inexorable trend to oligopoly by the remaining capitalist corporations and unfettered gouging by property owners. As the restriction of consumption of the Proletariat causes people to no longer feed, clothe nor support their children, the perfect storm of crisis will have arrived and the only way forward will be through revolution.
