arrivals, departures and immigration

For Perth a lot of new arrivals that are families are paying Relocation Agents to help source a property to rent before they arrive. Minority are also choosing to buy (if they can) before arriving. Air BNB is sometimes used for starters also.

 

Oh yes I agree.

Governments need to tackle tax reform. Probably needs to be agreement between the States & Cth to do this, there's too many taxes now.

 

• Overseas migration 2022-23 – net annual gain of 518,000 people

500k+ Net positive in 22 This is huge amount of post covid migrant in 1 year.

Further even 210k per year if we are not building this much maybe need to be moderated. Infra and housing go hand in hand and need to be delt with.

it says right on the bottom of that page:

 

Not really sure about all, but one of my colleagues (in Sydney) said that the house next door to hers is housing 6 couples (meaning 12 people). It's a 4 bedroom house. So people are living in sharehouses for sure. Housing crisis is real and not a sham

 

oh but there is. The government just don’t want you to see the evidence.
Midwives doing 8 births per shift instead of 4, Teachers will full classes in demountables, Families driving two hours to work and school drop because they’re living in areas without schools or transport, roads absolutely clogged,

even in 2005 there were times Sydney’s town hall looked like Tokyo you couldn’t even get on a platform for 15 min let alone a train. Over capacity.

this is just the tip of the iceberg…we COULD have the infrastructure…. but we DONT.

the cheapest laziest way for each government is to get in migrants to pay the 10 billion welfare/defence bill instead of investing in our own people (all without a cent on infra or housing)

 

We have big welfare systems. It's easier to import a tax payer than to grow one.

Also in a world where "GDP" is the main economic measure, more people means more GDP. Governments don't care if we are getting wealthier or poorer. It's all about "total spending".

I really think this bi-partisan pursuit of unbridled immigration is very easy to understand.

 

The elephant in the room is an aging population.

 

exactly right. and the main number is we bringing just as many as we did before covid. it just came as "massive wave" because year before was basically zero. so if i were gov, i would see no issue what so ever.
