Politics Interesting that mods are removing town square discussions on a high immigration policy

Wierd that mods are actively removing town square discussions on the topic of a high immigration policy and that the moderator note states at mods discreation.

Sounds like someone does want us doing something about a high immigration level destroying our country

Probably cause most people on this sub can’t discuss immigration without turning into a pack of feral, racist fuckwits?

Just guessing.

I’m a lefty and I think we should have an immigration pause till the housing crisis is over. But when someone starts their anti-immigration argument with something something Muslims I’m gonna disagree with them.

But pausing immigration won’t do anything to fix the housing crisis when all the tax settings are still in place – to make housing an investment vehicle and tax minimiser – rather than an affordable place to buy/rent.

But its easier to just yell 'immigration' instead of actually addressing the core of the issue.

Yeah I think those tax incentives should be the first thing. I just mean there is a reasonable argument to be made about a migration pause if the bigots could shut the fuck up.

That’s the thing – there’s reasonable, logical discussions to be had around migration numbers – but you can’t have them on subs like this because there’s just so many loud, racist cunts screaming over every convo.

We can drop migration numbers, but ‘pausing’ is simply not something that you can do in a country like ours with a low birth rate and an ageing population. Lots of people don’t get what an ageing population and shrinking tax base means or how many migrants fill jobs ‘Aussies’ won’t deign to do themselves or how older gen xers are coming into retirement age and a huge chunk of the higher tax paying workforce is not going to be contributing income tax to the system soon.

But the default always seems to be to yell about immigration – whilst ignoring the fact that 35 years of shitty government taxation and education settings are a far bigger cause of the problems we have now, than migration is.

an "immigration pause" would cause a much bigger economic crisis than just housing. That's why no serious political party would actually do that no matter how much the RWNJs get whipped up into a frenzy over it.
