Bowing to the Chinese

Australia is becoming more Asian, less European

not quite. The largest number of immigrants are still from the UK, followed by NZ and then China. I think you're safe.

While the number one place of origin for foreign-born migrants is still England, at 15%, migrants from China (8.3%) and India (7.4%) have been arriving in greater numbers in recent years.

In total, migrants born in China, India, the Philippines, Vietnam and Malaysia now outnumber those born in Europe and New Zealand.

In case you didn't know (and without counting immigrants from other Asian countries) India IS a part of Asia and migrants from just China and India total 15.7%.

Do the math.

I used to live and work in Sydney as most people know. It's been a very long time since I had the opportunity to visit Martin Place or wander around the shops in the City but, the last time I did that would have been about 1990 and even then I was shocked about how many Asians (Orientals not Indians) there were, small people with black hair everywhere! I also noticed people begging near Wynyard! No doubt it is a lot worse now, almost 30 years later!

Why would Sydney retirees move to Queensland? Sydney has wonderful weather. It is the Melbournites who retire to the Gold Coast.

Sydney has wonderful weather, SE Queensland has better weather. I also moved from the Gong to SE Qld so I have first hand experience.
