http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-08-15/fact-check-wages-growth-coalition-labor/10079236?pfmredir=sm ABC fact check on wage growth. Apparently wage growth over the last five years with the Libs has been on par with yearly growth under the previous Labor govt. Wage thieving pricks. gently caress them all.

It was simply a mathematical error that my till is down $20 a day. As this is simply a misunderstanding I feel calling this theft and pursuing this further will be unhelpful.

When we had an almost linear increase in population over the last few years, how the gently caress was that projection made? Were they thinking we'd just stop immigration entirely for a few decades?

Intoluene posted:Or you know, actually invest in infrastructure that isn't a loving toll road for once. I get so annoyed about this. Actually, a report came out recently saying how much it costs to travel for the various cities (like to work and stuff). But very few people will see this and go "huh maybe we need to increase density" or "wow, that's a bit steep, maybe we should invest in alternative modes of transport that work out cheaper for families". I was talking to someone who worked for the road safety Commission a while back and they were saying there was a person who took twelve years to get her really good idea off the ground. Being allowed to ride your bike on the footpath in WA was put into legislation in large part due to the sheer persistence of a dedicated person at the road safety commission, apparently.

From what I understand, a little more than what we have as rising population from births over deaths. I don't know the exact figures, but if the projections were 33 years about 10 years ago and we halted immigration altogether from that point, we might have hit 25m about 3-4 years from now, a far cry from the 33 years projection.

You're avoiding raw numbers for some reason. I'll ask again - how many immigrants do you think Australia takes a year? And of those, how many are skilled immigrants?

Starshark posted:You're avoiding raw numbers for some reason. That 'some reason' is I didn't know the figures. So, looking it up, we have under 200k permanent residents (the figure I recall was 190 something thousand) and 600k temporary visas. The figure I recall for growth due to births over deaths was 160 something thousand. As for skilled, as far as I know, most of them. Because Australia has pretty strict policies on immigration. What point are you trying to make here?

The point is the immigrants we took in last year is something like 0.008 percent of the population. Tell me how that's supposed to affect infrastructure in a sane nation.

The projections were from 20 years ago (ABS link) and were off because of a mix of increased fertility, increased lifespan and migration. quote:Fertility Assumptions: quote:Mortality Assumption (used for all projection series) quote:Overseas Migration Assumptions:

Well, any increase of the population will affect infrastructure. Even a single person will affect it. By an incredibly small margin, but still an effect.

I thought the main problem with immigration at the moment is how 80%> of them go to Sydney or Melbourne and other cities want to benefit from such population growth too. However I don't know if the solution is to send them all to Bundaberg because they would plausibly just move to Sydney or Melbourne as soon as they're allowed to. The real solution here is to not make other cities such shitholes but in QLD especially the Council's are stacked with corrupt fucks who don't really care to grow or improve their dominion. Just collect and raise rates or in the case of Ipswich become a literal garbage dump.

The talk about having immigrants settle in the more rural places where skilled work is needed I think is going to create problems and solve little. Immigration to the big cities isn't causing the problems other cities and rural areas have - the need for skilled workers. That's not an immigration problem.

Starshark posted:Uh, no not really. You asked how it would affect infrastructure as if 2000 people would have zero impact. Also, according to this we took in 185.5k permanent residents. Significantly more than 0.008% of the population. That's thousands of houses being used, more electricity, water and gas being used. That isn't a 'no not really' impact. You're looking at a few suburbs there.

hambeet posted:i thought he was talking about your 'one person effect' 340 litres of water used per person on average. From what I could find on a quick search, somewhere between 7kWh per person per day to 14.8kWh per person per day from America, though, so I'd err on the side of lowballing it. I mean, sure it's not a very large effect on water use and electricity grid in comparison. But it isn't nothing.
