@AlboMP stop backdoor immigration.
Data analysed by the Australian Department of Home Affairs and highlighted by New Zealand politicians shows that nearly half of the New Zealanders applying for Australian citizenship were born outside of New Zealand.
@AlboMP The argument is that if government stops emphasising ethnic or cultural differences, people may increasingly see themselves as members of a single national community. A stronger shared identity could, in turn, reduce social divisions and increase cohesion.
@tonmiletrader Yes, including mass extinctions, and 150m higher sea level, but for millions of yrs CO2 hasnt been as high as it is now. The cause of recent warming is CO2 and other GHG's from fossil fuel emissions plus a bit of land use change.
@Michael01996367@stokdog Since 1978, China has undertaken a massive, ongoing reforestation effort, with reports indicating over 66 billion trees planted as part of the Three-North Shelterbelt Program, or "Great Green Wall"
@stokdog Australia's per capita CO2 emissions are approximately 14.4 metric tonnes as of 2024. This figure is more than three times the global average of roughly 4.7 tonnes per person.
@RobToThheOz@AvidCommentator The results of my research. Early 2026:-
- Nepal: 65% refusal rate for universityβlevel student visas
- Bangladesh: 51% refusal rate
- India: 40β49% refusal rate depending on the month and visa category
- Sri Lanka: 38% refusal rate
- Bhutan: 36% refusal rate
@AlboMP The Australian government views student visa rorting as a widespread and systemic problem. As of early 2026, the crackdown has reached a 20-year peak, with one in three offshore applicants being rejected.
No wonder there's a housing crisis!
As promised, here's my data sources, as you can tell Hermann pulls his data out of his rectum.
