i think youve cracked it fish
If the Aussie gov can crack on and build a few hundred Desalination plants and a few hundred power plants to power them,you could take in a few million refugees.
dont worry about the irrigation system,or the roads,housing,schools or hospitals.Im sure you wont mind muddling through stoney broke for a few decades.

My previous posts will tell you that i do know this. I am just wondering what percentage of the net migration figures are non controlled (EU) and what is controlled.

Would be happy to, makes perfect sense to me, they could help build the schools, hospitals and houses. I don't see any reason why it would make us stony broke though (although i think it would be a little short sighted to limit the migrants to Asylum Seekers).

feel free to crack on then,you have more than enough free space to concrete over
To solve the problem of overcrowding, the amount of immigration must be kept in line with the amount of emigration, in other words you can not keep having the population getting larger in a country that is a certain size. The roads are packed, takes ages to go short distances, ages to go long distances, most pray for no accidents to avoid a 12 mile tailback like there was on the M25 this morning, a seat on a train would be nice, somewhere to park when you go out, not waiting weeks/months for a hospital appointment etc.
There is only so much building that can be done, less space, more people, where will it end.
In short i believe this country has enough people living in it, just compare the population with bigger countries like France.
Controlled immigration, bit like Dicks Bar when full, one in one out......not full to the gunnels so no one gets served and you can't move.
So who pays for all the materials for these projects, who pays the workers........have you any idea how much a decent hospital costs, start around 30m eh.

i am no economist but perhaps this could come from the increased taxation through increased population.
Over population is a fact and the world will have to deal with it.
Well if you do come "home" as you stated you would like to.....then you can witness it first hand.

crikey,no political party in OZ are currently proposing concreting over vast swathes of the countryside?
you do surprise me
Much more immigration and we will need one of these.
Must have been shot in Oz, look at the space between houses and the non packed road..........

Being a tiny country,and following a football team away over many years gives ample opportunities to visit parts of the country one might not normally visit and also a bit of perspective comparison wise as to how areas have changed over the years all over the country with population increase.
im sure you know this though.

If you are not happy with what you see, you can always try somewhere else. I think we agree here that overpopulation is a massive issue. If the only problem with immigration is the sheer weight of numbers and the pressure they put on infrastructure then it seems to me that there are two ways of dealing with it.
1. lower the number of migrants - the problem with this is that the uncontrolled migration comes mainly from the EU and to gain control you would have to leave the EU. This has its own problems and pitfalls.
2 You improve the infrastructure to accommodate the rise in population. This may need some creative thinking to solve all the problems but i think it can be done.

Just highlighting the important bit...
I presumed you posted it because you agreed with it.
If it's not your point of view that immigrant families can become english, then that's another matter, and i apologise for misprepresenting your lovely opinions.

It's a mess at the moment. I am pro EU but the influx into the Schegen area should be a wake up call and the Schegen agreement should be disbanded. More because mainland European countries will be overrun with non EU immigrants than the UK. Dispite the Calais mess, we take in a relative small number of non EU. However this is mainly a story about how a Tory promise has been broken. They haven't hit anywhere near the target, intact full flow reversal. Epic Fail Mr Cameron.
