Should Australia take Ukrainian refugees?

During this Covid time, our population growth has been stagnant and this is worrying for me as stagflation now looks inevitable.

Many of them are thinking of moving to Canada as there is quite a large Ukrainian community there. While Canada has yet to respond, I think Australia should seize this opportunity and open the door for them first.

I have a few Ukrainian friends who are stuck in Romania at the moment, no jobs, not very welcomed. These are skilled and hardworking individuals…

What do you think? Curious of all your opinions.


Cheers.

 

I think we should but certain number of people only - love to support them and many smart people from that country too but honestly not anyone because we can’t support that. It is estimated around 5m refugees from Ukraine.

 

We should, can hardly get trades for my IP lol, win-win scenario here…

And I heard the farming techniques are brilliant there, our farmers can learn.

 

Genuine question, is there housing available? Vacancy rates look very low and while they could stay at the quarantine facility at wellcamp/Toowoomba for a while that's not a long term solution.

 

How about we release the refugees currently here in detentions centres, some of whom have been there for years, for a start.

Sarcasm aside, yes.

 

True, good question

 

I heard that Christmas Island was costing millions per month and housing only 4 people. Not sure if that’s still the case.

 

I heard something along those lines as well. It is an insanely expensive political wall ******* contest.

 

They are mostly unvaccinated. Should they be let in?

 

Not sure why are we still worrying about Covid. I have this at the moment, 7th day now since I first felt infected in my nose. By the third day, fever was gone. Now, I’m left with cough and slowly getting my smell and tastes back.

Meanwhile, a friend is hiding in the sewerage somewhere in Zaporizhzhrya

 

Australia doesn't even comply with our international refugee obligations for those seeking protection from us currently - why would be wanting to take more refugees?

Wouldn't they be "jumping the queue"?

 

I just knew this, I guess our government is selective. But this bunch is a good bunch to pick up

 

So what techniques are these ?? I have heard they are backwards, still plough the land, releasing carbon, and cause a lot of soil erosion. They dont like the untidy look of no-till fields. They have the highest use of illegal chemicals and high levels of chemical residues. Mine the soil and dont use adequate phoshate . Have low use of precision agriculture and almost non existent use of mapping and Variable Rate technology.

 

Ok you caught me there, I just thought they are one of the biggest exporters of soft commodities in the world, they must have done it well

 

You forgot to add your sarcasm emoji

 

Lol right…

 

Yes to short term protection as was given to Kosavars. They will need, and most will want to return once this is done if circumstances allow.

 

Not refugees but I know a lot of Russian that I work with are also looking to leave the country as well. Again, they are well educated, smart people. Hopefully a decent percentage of that can move to Australia. Anyway, if we are ready for more immigration, there are plenty of people looking to be in Australia; and that bodes well to residential property market in general over long term.

 

Define a good bunch? As opposued of not so good bunch of humans otherwise?

 

I voted to take them all.
All 1m refugee to Western Australia
Australia can talk alot of hot air, they better back up their big mouth.
