No problem. I'm keen to know what you think of it.

That's 500,000 coming in via immigration. This includes returning citizens. What is the number that left Australia during the same period? The data is available at the same location. You need to subtract one from the other and then look at that number and how it has changed over the last decade.

Fwiw, I do think we should cut immigration significantly, except for work visas for those sponsored for residential construction roles. I do agree that immigration is being mishandled right now. I just want you to look at the right numbers, as right now the shit you say dramatically weakens your arguments.

• Those were neo-nazis at the protests, not government plants
• The cost of living is fucked
• The people organizing those protests don't give a fuck about the cost of living
• Housing is fucked
• Immigration numbers are actually down significantly under the current government
• The cause of the housing crisis isn't immigration
• Immigration policy is an issue right now and should be altered to help with the housing crisis

These can all be true at the same time. Your argument will be stronger if it is backed by facts.

Fyi, the real cause of the housing crisis is the CGT discounts brought in by the Howard government. That is what started the obscene increase in house prices, and it just keeps getting worse.

I don't seem to be able to buy this in Australia. Yet I can buy a dozen different products to selectively kill the clover in my lawn.

That sucks, I really like clover. It's nice to walk on.

First thing I tried yeah, I tested a few and verified with a multi meter. It isn't that sadly :(

Your idea works great as described. The system has grown beyond that though. Capitalists receive these IOUs because they own a portion of a company that owns a thing that neither the company nor the capitalist has ever had anything to do with. They receive these IOUs in perpetuty, but they never provided any contribution to the creation of anything.

Then you stack this a billion times, with IOUs servicing IOUs, amplifying the amount of IOUs, and skimming IOUs at every point from people who actually do the work, just to increase the number of IOUs held by a handful of people, until those people who contribute nothing, now hold the majority of the worlds IOUs.

This is fucked.
