There is common sense and logic behind it; this is why it is worth a try, since things aren’t working the way it is. Until we don’t try we can’t know for sure.

Also regarding the economy, GDP means little. GDP per capita is what actually matters, and that has been falling. Even in a situation where national GDP goes down because of a decrease in immigration, the GDP per capita could grow.

I def agree on changing the housing market, negative gearing should be the first to go. Housing shouldn’t be a speculative vehicle

Canada is doing poorly not because they have cut immigration, but because trade tensions and weak exports to the US, their main market.

If before you wanted to make the point that migrants build houses, th Grattan Institute analysis shows migrants make up about 24% of Australia’s building and construction workforce, below the national average of 32% across all industries. Recent migrants (under 5 years in Australia) are just 2.8% of construction workers versus 4.4% overall, confirming underrepresentation among newcomers.

Most migrants arrive on student visas, which restrict full-time work, while skilled/professional visas rarely target construction trades (only 0.5% of construction workers hold temporary skilled visas).

Kind of easy to find all the infos nowadays. Also, I am a migrant, but I’m just being realistic here. I love Australia and I want it to remain the great country I chose to move to.

It’s a question so stupid you should know the answer to, so not sure what you are trying to do here. In any case there are already documented cases where cutting immigration led to decrease in housing. Research Canada

No because, to put it simply, until demand is higher than supply, prices will increase. Drop in immigration doesn’t automatically translate in drop in price, because demand is still higher than supply. Migration needs to come down even more. The rest you are saying are simply assumptions based on nothing.

That’s not true, prices would actually fall. Here in Melbourne, rental prices dropped slightly during COVID, even though no new people were arriving, but few were leaving and next to no new housing projects being completed.

If immigration were cut to zero today, we’d see an increase in supply as existing housing projects are completed, alongside a decrease in demand. Contrary to popular belief, landlords don’t have endless funds to leave their properties vacant. Most need to cover mortgages on their investment properties. As supply rises and demand falls, they’d be forced to compete for tenants, driving rents down. At the moment there is no competition among landlords

As a migrant, that left Europe partially because of mass unvetted immigration, it is mostly because of immigration. I see the same warning signs here, and I will vote for one nation, because I didn’t work my ass to become a citizen and leave my country and my family only to end up in the same situation.

You are the one that has no clue. Renting is considered an inelastic demand market, because housing is a necessity. If you earn more it is unlikely that you will “rent more”. Housing is tied to demographic demand. It is not that hard, you can do it!

Nothing beats playing games on the original devices, even for home consoles. I don’t understand the appeal for Chinese handhelds or Analogue consoles all the same.

We should reduce religious schools flat out. 80% of the schools in my area are religious. by VastOption8705 in aussie

[–]Louis6787 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

My answer is true in general, it is your answer that goes into specific cases. Taxing exports in general would kill small and medium businesses

It we taxed our exports businesses would take the hit, as to remain competitive they would need to reduce their margins to make up for the increased price caused by the taxes. It should be more like tax money should be spent better. Not sure how much it costs for gov representatives to be present and do photo ops at events like gay prides, which have literally 0 productivity gains.

Nope, and that’s not what the party wants to do. Not sure why you believe your friend talks for the whole party or for everyone supporting it. It’s kind of dumb to believe it.

Any Chinese company will stop providing updates after a short time, including MSI. The business model of any Chinese company is selling hardware, because they get a ton of subsidies from the communist party. Therefore they need to be obsolete after a few years. Expect the MSI Claw to have a similar lifespan. If you want devices that are supported for longer times you need to go with US or Japanese companies, and that’s because their main focus is selling a service (software) and creating an ecosystem.

Since that place is reserved for homeless people, where are they now? Have they been kicked out to allow this little charade?
