The number of Indian-born people living in Australia has more than doubled in the last decade to over 750,000, pushing India above China and New Zealand as the second-biggest country of ­origin for overseas-born, behind only England.
And those born in Nepal now living in Australia are the fastest growing cohort, increasing from 30,000 to over 150,000 since 2012, new Australian Bureau of Statistics data shows. Almost as many Nepalese people as Italians now live in Australia.

Western Australia has the largest proportion of overseas-born residents among states and territories at 34 per cent, the ABS data finds, with Tasmania the lowest at 16 per cent, but the Apple Isle has the fastest growing cohort of overseas-born in the last five years.

The ABS Australia’s Population by Country of Birth report shows 155,000 overseas-born were added to the Australian population in 2022, taking it to 29.5 per cent of the total, or almost three in every 10 people. Total overseas-born now sits at 7.7 million out of the 26 million population. By international standards, Australia has a high proportion of overseas-born residents, with the US at 15.3 per cent, Canada at 21.3 per cent, France at 13.1 per cent and the UK at 13.8 per cent.

When, if ever, will Indians, Nepalese, Chinese be Australians? When will they regard EACH OTHER as Australians?


You are obviously ignorant and don't know what an Australian is. According to the official definition
every Australian citizen, regardless of their race or ethnicity, is considered an Australian.
If you're Australian, you should know that, right?

Chinese can't be. Dictator Xi the Great says all Chinese in the world must remain as Chinese citizens.  It's a race supremacy idea.

well....XI is concerned to protect chinese socialism from blind 'freedom' ideologues (chinese or otherwise), wherever they are.

not so much a race thing, as an economic ideology to implement 'common prosperity', as part of lifting an entire nation out of agricultural subsistence and poverty.

compare the results with India's "freedom' ideology and 'democracy'.

Stupidity and greed are a bad combination. Think Al Capone. Think Alan Bond. Think Australia’s elite universities.

The latter dynamited our university system by mainlining on lucrative international students, who disappeared with Covid. Now they are at it again. Overseas students are being mustered like brumbies and every reform is resisted like poison. Overwhelmingly, international students enrol in big brands such as the University of Sydney and the Australian National University. It is not about good education, just the right rubber stamp. It is like a cattle market where the cows are lured, not herded.

Cattle is the right expression.For universities such as those in the Group of Eight, international students are cash cows. They are there for their high fees, not their education and wellbeing. So well-heeled institutions have ruthlessly stockpiled these students. Their great educational qualification is that they are just so much more fiscally winsome than low-paying Australians whose fees are set by government.

The greed of elite institutions has no cap. Before Covid, ANU had almost 50 per cent international students. Competitors such as Sydney and Monash were around 40 per cent. Particularly valuable are well-heeled Chinese students. As one former sandstone vice-chancellor exulted in an academic group, they would keep enrolling wealthy Chinese until someone stopped him.

Despite the lesson of Covid that the tap suddenly can be turned off, these guys are gorging like wolverines. They want to match or exceed pre-Covid heights. Like the Bourbon kings, they have learned nothing and forgotten nothing. They certainly do not remember the disaster of Covid when their entire business model collapsed.

Then, Go8 vice-chancellors were wringing their hands and pressuring governments to restart international students, virus-ridden or not. They still refuse to accept that their cash mules are inherently vulnerable. Another virus, a more hostile China banning Australian students or a major shift in student demand would leave the Universities of Pride high and dry again.

...

The public goods sacrificed in this unequal exchange are enormous. International students are short-changed. Australian students discounted. Regional universities gazumped. Sectoral diversity discouraged.

Now, the enrolment guzzlers are opposing every possible reform. They put the rent back into rent seekers. A first proposal was for a percentage cap on international enrolments at any given institution Hysterics, tantrums and vapours ensued, and the idea was washed away in a flood of crocodile tears about discrimination against international students.
...
For those who adulate established universities over “lower quality” institutions, think of this. Which universities have devalued freedom of speech; peddled postmodernism; dissed Western civilisation; minimised anti-Semitism; and genuflected to Trotskyist student unions?

Greed may be good but it is never good education policy.

Yet when it comes to muslims and multiculturalism they are all equal Australians whether they assimilate or are terrorists according to you.

And when it comes to Aboriginals you want them on a pedestal, in control of the 97% and divided from the rest of Australia.

You seem very confused Brian, or is it Matty?

This is the video YouTube took seven years to uncensor. Over a million views. Subtitled in nineteen languages. Sad to say the optimistic note at the end about democracy saving us was misplaced. Now I think widespread urban warfare is more likely.

The problem is that in Australia Anglos consider themselves more Australians than others because Australia is de facto still a British colony.
