We'll be a nation of new migrants

By NICK GARDNER
The Sunday Telegraph
April 18, 2010

THE Australian-born family will become a minority group within 15 years - outnumbered by a surging wave of migrants from Europe and Asia.

Figures from demographic consultants Macroplan Australia show record overseas migration and an ageing population mean migrant families will overtake the number of locally born residents by 2025 - far sooner than previously imagined.

 

The news will infuriate some Australian citizens, who claim the population is already too big and infrastucture is buckling under the strain.

According to 2006 census data, 40 per cent of the nation's population was either born overseas or had at least one parent who was born abroad.

But at present immigration levels, that proportion will jump to more than 50 per cent by 2025.

The news comes a few days after the appointment of Tony Burke as Australia's first population minister

He faces the task of managing the influx of migrants, which is expected to swell the population from 22 million today to 36 million by 2050.

As Mr Burke was sworn in, a survey of 3000 people revealed 70 per cent of Australians do not want a bigger population. Fewer than a quarter favoured immigration as the main contributor.

But experts say a migrant majority will be healthy for Australian culture and attitudes.

"It all adds to the cosmopolitan nature of modern Australia," KPMG demographer Bernard Salt said. "It means our views become less blinkered, and we become more tolerant, confident, engaged, opportunistic and optimistic because we are open to new ideas, not obsessed with keeping things the same."

Macroplan chief executive Brian Haratsis said Australians tended to "stare at our shoes and say we're the best in the world".

"While immigration needs to be managed with better infrastructure, we also need high immigration for sound economic reasons - if we don't, we'll all end up paying higher taxes."

Dr Bob Birrell, co-director of the Centre for Population and Urban Research and reader in sociology at Monash University, said the ratio of foreign-born residents was already higher in Sydney and Melbourne because they were the two most popular destinations for new arrivals.

"We're getting lots more Indian and Chinese immigrants coming to study, but many of those will end up settling here," Dr Birrell said.

The Federal Government estimates that cutting immigration from 280,000 to its target of 180,000 will result in a population of 36 million by 2050.

But it also means the number of working taxpayers will halve in relation to the number of people aged over 65.

Most migrants come from Britain (14.2 per cent), followed by New Zealand (11.4 per cent), India (11.2), China (10.5) South Africa (5.3) and the Philippines (4.1).

Mr Salt said there would be more Iraqi and Afghan migrants.

ASIO saves Australians from Mansour Leghaei and Rudd government Attorney General, McClelland.

 

Iranian cleric, Mansour Leghaei, given 28 days to leave the country

MANSOUR Leghaei, the Iranian cleric twice declared a security threat by ASIO, has been given 28 days to leave the country after an immigration appeals tribunal rejected his final application to remain in Australia.

 

Dr Leghaei

For more than a decade, Dr Leghaei has been contesting in the courts two adverse security assessments issued by ASIO, which it is understood believes the cleric is an Iranian operative. Dr Leghaei's battle to remain in Australia has won high-profile backing, with Attorney-General Robert McClelland writing two character references for the Sydney-based sheik, one of which challenged ASIO's findings.

But on Friday, the Migration Review Tribunal upheld a decision by the Immigration Department denying the sheik a residency visa.

As a result, the department has cancelled Dr Leghaei's bridging visa, giving him 28 days to leave.

A spokesman for Immigration Minister Chris Evans said ASIO had indicated it had no objection to Dr Leghaei remaining at large in the community while he finalised his affairs. "Dr Leghaei should now make arrangements to depart Australia. The department will seek to engage with Dr Leghaei in the coming weeks to facilitate his departure," he said.

Multicultural TV’s report.

The spokesman said the tribunal's decision also applied to Dr Leghaei's wife and one of his adult children, meaning their bridging visas would also be cancelled in 28 days.

At least one of Dr Leghaei's children was born in Australia.

During his hearing, the sheik argued little weight should be given to ASIO's assessment as the agency had refused to provide the reasons underpinning it.

But the tribunal ruled that, while sympathetic to Dr Leghaei's predicament, it lacked the authority to examine or overrule ASIO's judgment.

Mr McClelland wrote a reference for Dr Leghaei in 1997 while an opposition backbencher. He described the sheik as an asset to the Australian and Muslim communities.

"I was most surprised to learn that Sheik Leghaei's application had been rejected on the failure to satisfy part 4002 of Schedule 4 of the Migration Regulations, that is the public-interest criteria," Mr McClelland wrote.

But ASIO, which reports to Mr McClelland as Attorney-General, has taken a different view for more than a decade.

The Australian understands the agency still considers Dr Leghaei a security threat and has refused to undertake another assessment of him. Aside from his links with Iran, it is understood ASIO has concerns about Dr Leghaei's alleged knowledge of Ahlul Bait, a French terrorist organisation.

Dr Leghaei has repeatedly denied he has been a spy for Iran or is a threat to security. But his 1997 residency application was denied on public-interest grounds after ASIO found against him, and in 2002 the agency formally issued an adverse security assessment.

In 2004, a second adverse security assessment was handed down. Despite the concerns, Dr Leghaei has lived freely since arriving in Australia in 1994. At one point he did not even have a valid visa, meaning that in addition to being a security threat, he was living unlawfully in Australia.

Dr Leghaei could not be contacted for comment.

Australians saved from our Rudd Government Labor Party,Attorney General Robert McClelland by ASIO.

Thanks to ASIO this piece of shit will be removed from Australian soil within 28 days,hopefully he will not be the last to be thrown out of the country notwithstanding the Rudd Governments belief, that he and his kind are

"... an asset to the Australian and Muslim communities."

Thank you ASIO, it is good to know that ASIO is looking out for Australia

Stockholm Syndrome, and useful idiot # 1 see Father Dave

Australian Harry Nicolaides, left to rot by the Rudd government, if only he was a terrorist.

The medieval price an author pays for insulting Thailand's monarchy

SMH
February 7, 2009

From the hell of his Bangkok prison cell, the writer Harry Nicolaides reveals the horror of his daily battle to survive.

We are woken at 6 and counted in the cell. Mine is 12 metres long and just over four metres wide, holding 50 or 60 prisoners, mostly Thais, mostly murderers and rapists. The cell has one toilet, which is a hole in the ground, and poor ventilation. I sleep in a face mask because tuberculosis and pneumonia are common. I've been in this jail for five months, since my arrest in September.

My book, Verisimilitude, was a rather clumsy first attempt at fiction - only 50 copies were printed and seven sold. I love Thailand and respect the royal family. It was never my intention to offend anyone.

For breakfast I have soy milk and a biscuit. The prisoners wash and shave around troughs covered in grime. The water is changed once a week. Then there's assembly. We stand to attention as the Thai flag is raised. We're asked to pray to a large gold Buddha. I use the time to collect my thoughts and think about my loved ones.

The guards make long speeches in Thai. I imagine they're about prison etiquette.

I'm then taken upstairs with other foreigners to clean another cell block.

After that we're at leisure for a while. I used to walk around, but I can't help but encounter the weak and the feeble - such as men with TB, languishing on benches. It deadens me. So I try to spend my time replying to the many letters I receive. Letters keep me alive.

We are allowed one 30-minute visit a day, but not on weekends or holidays. The hardest part is returning to my cell after a visit from family or friends. I break down when I think how they're suffering.

At 12 the lunch bell rings. The food is mostly fish bones in hot water, extremely spicy, with rice. I've tried it and felt unwell.

I can't afford to fall sick - the mental strain is enough - so my family send me some chicken and a salad every day.

There are 20 or 25 cats that run into the mess hall before the prisoners. Some men put cigarettes in the cats' mouths or do other unspeakable things to them.

I am barefoot most of my day. It is partly a security measure so we can't climb the electrified, barbed-wire fence, and partly custom. But the floors are covered with fish bones, saliva and cat vomit, so my feet are black.

I am led to court in shackles and chains. It's positively medieval. They're degrading and they bruise and lacerate the ankles. They make you feel you're guilty.

They say that it is easy to get to someone in a prison like this, so I am always on the alert.

I have met some colourful characters, like Viktor Bout, the suspected Russian arms dealer. He's an unassuming, softly spoken man.

He gave me some garlic the other day - and a manuscript of his life story to edit. I haven't looked at it yet. Lots of people give me manuscripts about their lives and cases. They seem to think I'm a BBC journalist, of all things.

At 4pm we're locked up until 6am. My patch is about a foot wide, the length of my body. I cannot move to the left or right without pressing on another person. I cannot stretch out my legs without kicking someone.

On the king's 81st birthday I saw fireworks in the distance. Some prisoners had tears in their eyes, praising a man they regard not just as their king but their father. I may not be Thai, but I am a son, and I know what it means to love a father. I am applying for a royal pardon. I pray the king learns of my plight so I might enjoy his grace.

When I've finished my chicken, Thais beg for my scraps.

The fluorescent lights stay on at night, so I sleep with a box over my head. I toss and turn on a thin mat on the hard floor. And this, too, shall pass, other foreigners tell me. It's an old adage and true. But time passes very slowly here.

As told to Andrew Marshall

If only Harry had of chosen to join the Taliban in Pakistan and Afghanistan, instead of swanning around Thailand soaking up the mystic vibe.
Had he chosen the Islamic terrorism road like Australia's celebrity " beautiful people" and Labor Party's "Our David" aka David Hicks did, he would have been back home in Australia by now armed with a phalanx of Australian taxpayer funded celebrity beautiful people Lawyers,all salivating over a compensation claim, for a violation of his rights or the right to kill infidels or the right to choose to choose or the right to not to choose to not choose or some such other crap.
Kevin 07 where are you and your legions of beautiful people, and carers and sharers?
surely there is a movie star or actor / tress / union official / community organizer you could ask advice from, or a committee of comrades made up of "diverse cultural and socio economic backgrounds" even, who could tell you what to do, what about the Jan. 2008 gabfest where you and your government asked various celebrities and movie stars "hey tell us what to do ? after you had won government in Nov.2007.

Harry Nicolaides is one Australian that Australia actually NEEDS, Harry Nicolaides is a man of worth, of some good to Australia and indeed mankind.. Harry Nicolaides needs the help of his fellow Australians NOW via Australia's diplomatic service at the highest level.

Kevin 07 the office of the Australian Prime Minister comes with many, many responsibilities one of them is acting, when required to ensure that Australians abroad are looked after and not persecuted in a totally inhumane despotic manner for in Harry's case writing FICTION.

Kevin 07 why don't you and your cabal of all wise all knowing leftists, Islamist apologists and beautiful people, protest about this appalling injustice at least half as much as you all did about self confessed Islamic Terrorist David Hicks been removed from the battlefield and detained ?

Kevin 07, you can give ten million of Australian taxpayers dollars to Islamic Terrorist and Assassins in Gaza, so they can re arm and resupply and kill more Jews, how much of Australian Taxpayers money have you proscribed to assist Harry Nicolaides ? $10,000,000 ? $5,000,000 ?
$2,000,000? $ 1,000,000 ? How much Kevin 07 ? "COME CLEAN"
Kevin 07, Australian's , you remember them, the people you are required to represent and who's interests you are obligated to protect at all times, would like to know,or are you and your fellow socialists in the Labor Party taking orders from what you consider to be a higher authority, as in Kevin 07 a citizen of the New World Order ?

Kevin 07 forget about the sky falling,cows farting, cutting off power to our hot water heaters and taxing the air we breath, DO something of WORTH, something of value, get this Australian out of this hell hole NOW.. I know, I know he is not a terrorist he is not a drug courier / dealer / addict but just pretend he is, and get him out, or is Harry Nicolaides of the wrong Religious / ideological persuasion?
Do some thing for this AUSTRALIAN you incompetent arse clown, pretend he is Australia's very own "Hollywood Idiot Wannebee" and is having a baby and you rush to her side to visit her after the birth for a photo op or worse still a payback for services rendered.

Australian PM Kevin " I have never been a socialist" Rudd,
seen here about to pay homage / respect / honour, to Labor supporter and "one of the most beautiful women in the world" actor / actress, Cate Blanchett
at the Mater Private Hospital,in North Sydney of all places,
following the birth of her baby.
What do you think is in the box ? The thoughts of Mao ?

Kevin 07 and "one of the most beautiful women in the world" Cate Blanchett, seen here in a private and may I say pensive emotion charged moment, not that the average Australian would know from their persona shown in the above "candid" picture at the 2020 summit organized by Kevin 07 himself, where Kevin 07 asked Australia's most beautiful and politically correct people,how they wanted him to govern Australia,in their and the worlds best interests.(there was no mention of "in Australia's best interest's", however I am sure he was so busy he forgot to include that, what I am sure is in his mind a minor consideration)

After hours of mind numbing discourse, that would undoubtedly cause a lesser man or indeed a lesser "one of the worlds most beautiful women in the world" aka Cate Blanchett, to stumble and faulter, It appears that Kevin 07 and Cate Blanchett are at least able to chill out during their thankless task of plotting Australia's future to the year 2020.

At last!!!! Problems SOLVED!!!!!
Relax Australia and indeed the WORLD, ALL'S WELL!!!
Nothing to see here, move along now, move along, problems solved,
there will be Peace in our Time
This picture of Australia's very own "Dear Leader" and his most intimate advisor "one of the most beautiful women in the world" aka. Cate Blanchett,
clearly show Australians have nothing to worry about, and might I say if only the entire world would take advice from these two great minds it might well be a better place within hours of taking such advice.

And what exactly were Australia's problems that these two great minds solved I hear you say, well I cannot tell you the details, however, I can show you a picture that will shed some light on the error of our ways (not necessarily mine but defiantly yours)note the defining moment captured here by an Aussie News & Views photographer, as Australia's very own "Dear Leader" aka Kevin 07, and "one of the worlds most beautiful women" aka. Cate Blanchett see something that only people with such insight can see and from there are able to plot Australia's future until the year 2020.
Stop Press !!!!! Australia's Future is Tax, more Tax and MORE TAX!!

If only Kevin 07 could see his way clear to send or better still take a food package to Harry in the same way he so thoughtfully stopped work and put the nation's business on hold while he paid homage/ tribute / respect / pay back? to actor / actress ? Cate Blanchett in her North Sydney (that's out of bounds for Labor socialists isn't it ?) Mater Private Hospital bed......... yes I know Cate roots for a Party that wants to abolish Private Hospital care in Australia, I guess Liverpool Public did not have any Uni sex 4 bed multicultural wards available for her, its such a tragedy knowing what a Multiculturalist & NON sexist she is.

I am sure Kevin 07 has taken instructions and issued the appropriate executive orders to rectify any problems that may prevent Cate from "birthing" in a Multicultural 4 bed Unisex Medicare public Hospital ward at Liverpool or better still Aurburn Hospital, again.

The Bottom Line Kevin 07 is, attend to what is of worth and value to AUSTRALIANS,I can believe that is an obscene concept for you and your government however,after all that's what you were elected to do.

Get Harry Nicolaides arse back on Australian soil NOW!!!!

Australia's Socialised Medicine aka Medi DONT care, Rudd & Co. seek to remove Doctors from treating patients.

Pain, no gain in Roxon’s secret plan

Piers Akerman

THE plan to nationalise Australia’s medical health continues apace despite efforts by Health Minister Nicola Roxon to keep her sinister scheme under the radar.

The Australian Self-Medication Industry yesterday released a survey which found as many as one in seven visits to the doctor were at least partially taken up by discussion of minor ailments, coughs and aches that might not require medical attention.

The finding has been used to claim millions are being wasted by unnecessary consultations with doctors and to support Roxon’s ideologically-based drive to give nurses and other health workers more work.

What the survey does not illustrate is the reality that the majority of people who make time to see their GP do so because they are very concerned about some aspect of their health.

While it may be that 70 per cent of the conditions which they take to their doctor are not serious, it is a safe bet 100 per cent of the patients are anxious about them and want them resolved.

Under the Roxon plan, patients would see doctors as a last resort, after they had passed through the hands of nurses or other health workers. As far as Labor’s ideological warriors go, doctors are fair game and need to be brought to heel, made to answer to the big bureaucracies.

The problem with this neanderthal thinking is that the model hasn’t worked wherever it has been tried. Just ask those who have suffered under the British national health system which the Rudd Government is trying to cut-and-paste into Australian law.

While doctors may be concerned about loss of independence, their immediate worry is for their patients and the possibility patients will be at a far greater risk of misdiagnosis when they are being assessed by the barefoot medicos Labor wants to empower.

If, for instance, you have a freckle that is causing some anxiety with all the warnings about melanoma, do you want to be assessed by a doctor or a nurse?

It may well be that the freckle causing stress is not life-threatening, and you can walk out reassured, but most would agree that reassurance from a doctor is more like to relieve the stress than that offered by a person with less training.

The Government is planning to bring about its changes through the states and commonwealth COAG process. The compliant Queensland university system is already offering some of the alternate courses designed to strip the medical profession of its autonomy.

In August Professor Richard Murray, the Dean of Medicine at James Cook University, offered the following definition of one of the new breed of barefoot doctors his faculty will graduate: “It is about preparing people from a variety of backgrounds to be able to assume a flexible sort of medical extension role, working with the doctor and with evolving skills on the basis of a sort of general qualification.”

As Mark McCardle, deputy Leader of the Queensland Opposition and shadow health minister told Parliament when Queensland’s Labor Government pushed through the first of the Bills facilitating Roxon’s attack, Australians will be subject to an unaccountable political institution that will control not only what health practitioners are taught but also how they treat and help sick people, while following orders from politicians and bureaucrats.

“The experience of this Government’s creation and management of the state’s worsening public hospital crisis clearly demonstrates the future health care of my fellow Queenslanders is best left to real doctors and nurses - not political spin doctors and ministerial nursemaids,” he said.

“The future health quality standards of health practitioners should not be gambled on legislative good faith in an unaccountable political/bureaucratic institution. The Bill before this House is a sugar-coated toxic blend of important reform for a national health practitioner registration scheme with an accreditation and training proposal that threatens Australia’s position as having one of the best and most comprehensive professional standards training and practice for our medical practitioners.”

Writing in Australian Doctor, Dr Annette Katelaris pointed out the obvious - to remain at the centre of of a patient’s primary care, a doctor needs to know their patient.

“If we only see a patient when they’re acutely unwell, we have little chance to build a relationship or fully understand their medical history,” she said.

“All jobs have their menial tasks but they remain as part of the job description because they are necessary in order to perform the more difficult tasks. It has been during routine consultations that I have had women disclose the sexual abuse they endured as children.

“This coloured all further care and counsel I offered, yet it was only during this so-called menial task they felt able to talk about what happened to them.”

Roxon has acknowledged that doctors are weighed down by unnecessary administration, and doctors have urged her to lighten their administrative load, not their clinical duties. The prescription is simple. The health system need less bureaucracy, not more, if it is to deliver the service Australians deserve.

"Socialism means equality of income or nothing...........Under Socialism

you would not be allowed to be poor.

You would be forcibly fed, clothed, lodged, taught and employed

whether you liked it or not.

If it were discovered that you had not character and industry enough to

be worth all his trouble, you might possibly be executed in a kindly

manner; but while you were permitted to live,

you would have to live well."

Bernard Shaw.

The architects of the finest third world health system on earth, Medicare (don't care much) the Australian Labor party are rarely found using the health system they created in the Whitlam governments infamous attack on Australian society and values during their short term of office 1972 -1975 they unleashed the socialist beast called Medibank, now known as Medicare.
It was was designed to eliminate private health treatment and private health insurance.
Thankfully Whitlam and his gang were thrown out of office on November 11 1975 by the Governor General, Australians endorsed this action by electing by the biggest margin in Australian electoral history the conservative Fraser government and did so again for another two terms.

Whitlam has not enjoyed good health these past twenty years and most recently has been treated in Sydney's St Vincents Private Hospital, a Catholic Private Hospital, a center of medical excellence, he is certainly not the only member of the Australian (Socialist)Labor Party to reject the health system they created and insist is all the Australian people need and he wont be the last.

I believe that Whitlam is over ninety, I am surprised he and his fellow comrades are able to justify using all those medical resources on someone his age when ordinary Australians or "working families" in similar situations with elderly family members are lectured on the virtues of euthanasia and pulling the pin on people with similar ailments as Whitlam suffers from, like the Islamic sociopaths who preach the virtues of suicide bombing isn't it time these know all millionaire Champagne Socialist Nazis lead by example and start walking the walk of their ideology of the equal distribution of misery, hate and social division for all but themselves ?
