Talk about IMMIGRATION and FOREIGN DONATIONS and stop both.
The only two worthy topics/policies that are likely to help us period.
Foreign donations I agree!
Immigration I gather is needed to some degree because of the rapidly aging population cost of pensions etc.
I like the idea of immigration requiring set periods of settlement in certain areas/ states
Considering you cannot understand the person on the other end of the damned phone in any government department nowadays and the fact that the majority of doctors etc in Sydney can barely speak English, let alone understand it, I am growing more and more in favour of bringing back the White Australia Policy until a balance is maintained.
Set periods of settlement do nothing. After the set period they will all migrate to either Sydney or Melbourne. The faces of Sydney and Melbourne have been irrevocably changed and NOT in a good way.
How about Canberra puts its hand up to take them all? Just a thought.
Well I do know the SA government is screaming for more immigrants.
I dont know that I agree lets say 5 years in a set area would result in some deciding to stay.
I have no problem with immigrants who can SPEAK clear and concise English. That is NOT what we are bringing in.
5 years fine so long as they do their 5 years in Canberra. Especially those who don't have a good grasp on our culture and language. Maybe then you will understand what has been done to Sydney/Melbourne.

Canberra? You are starting to sound as silly as Booby!
As far as speaking English give me some examples of encountering them personally, not about speaking to call centre people who are largely overseas in the Phillipines etc so not immigrants.
Also do you think the Greeks/ Italians of the 50's could speak English on migrating to Australia and they have turned out great immigrants!
I am suggesting there are some states that want more and some regional centres as well.

The Indian/Sri Lankan accent is extremely difficult to comprehend! I know somebody who went to Hawker College in 2017 and signed up for HISTORY, got somebody of Indian background, couldn't understand a word she said, so changed to a different class.
Indians may THINK they speak English and they do BUT they may as well speak gobblygook ... babble babble babble.
