A large number of Australians clearly give greater allegiance to the LGBTI than they give to their country. Their demands for SSM have split this country brother against brother and heterosexual against homosexual and that division will continue for a lifetime.

Personally I think the best Australian game (well mod really) was team fortress. Also I'm pretty sure steam was one of the TF software guys pet project after valve picked them up. I'm also surprised no ones mentioned Mad Max/ On the beach (the original not the lovely remake) as good Australian movies?

Dick Smith is launching an advertising campaign against ABC TV news and current affairs, which he says has warped the debate he has tried to spur over Australian population growth. He claims both Labor and Liberal politicians have told him they agree that Australia needs to cut its immigration intake to avoid future social and environmental fracturing, but they say they cannot say so publicly because the ABC will label them racist. "This is warping our democratic process, it is basically treasonous," the businessman and publisher told Fairfax Media. He claims ABC television's news and current affairs has deliberately ignored his campaign over the issue. In recent weeks Mr Smith has spent $1 million in advertising promoting his campaign to have Australia adopt a policy that would slash immigration numbers to around 70,000 - around the levels of the Hawke and Keating era - in order to see population level off at around 30,000,000.

NPR Journalizard posted:I thought we had close to a negative birth rate, and the only reason Australias population was growing was because of immigration. Australia has had a negative birth rate for decades. It's around 1.7 per woman when 2.1 is the actual replacement rate. Net immigration is one of the factors that is increasing our population. The other major driver is the rapid increase in life expectancy over the last century. This means we dont have as many deaths as births at the moment. This will swing around when the baby boomers start to die in droves. Tldr : Kill baby boomers

The answer is to have a well resourced health care system. What will be presented as the answer is more private care, a hollowing out of the public system and pouring scorn on those too poor to afford insurance.

if i ran a hospital i would make a rule that any boomer who is racist toward the nurses is kicked out immediately, even if they're mid-surgery (i wouldn't be running the hospital for very long, but the flame that burns brightest...)

More that they expect nursing homes to be more like holiday camps which they absolutely are not. One of the interesting points of agreement between the major parties is that boomers are expected to partly fund this themselves given they are a huge demographic going senile at once. People remember Bishop and her kero baths but that industry is still lightly treated because they still can't afford to run them out of town.

I've always wondered why retirement villages in the Pacific aren't more popular. For the rates you pay to live in an Australian nursing home you could live in luxury in somewhere like Fiji. Would be good for the Fijian economy too.

The only correct answer - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warlords_(game_series) -/- Fiji - Stinking hot and humid full of fuzzy wuzzies with attitude. Yeah I can see why Aussie old folk would want to go there.

NPR Journalizard posted:A not so subtle undercurrent of racism, and the belief that good white folk can look after the elderly much better than those darkies. I went to Mexico some time ago and met a retirement community of white Americans and Mexican-Americans that had moved over the border. They were basically like "I couldn't afford to retire in the United States on my 401k, so I live here and drive over the border to punch my ticket when I have to" and they were eating fresh fish and living like legends in the Baja sunshine. The local community enjoyed them being there as well since they spent money and were pretty pleasant people. Seemed like a good way to go.

The answer is to merge aged care with child care - oldies go senile slower because they love kids, anything goes wrong during playtime the kid has the medical facilities of aged care. Most of the people actually working with oldies day-to-day have titles like "recreation therapist" anyway, (good) old people homes are just kindergartens for the other end of peoples lives.

It's a bit more specific in my field (audiology). Basically, they expect hearing aids to restore their original hearing, which is basically impossible once you have more than a mild hearing loss.
