What Australia has now
If Australians can't afford children because incomes have fallen to
low why would the government think the mass immigrants will be able to
afford children?

Still won't stop them aging either and increase a problem of not
enough income earners that we are having now!
Not seeing these mass-immigrants buying houses now but needing
accommodation.
Presently..
With private sector jobs shrinking wages are through cost of living
inflation of real dollar value dropping, many taking multiple jobs to
raise income (babies are now off agenda)

To live in Sydney now one needs a realistic annual income od
AU$200,000 to AU$400,000 to make ends meet and buy a home
The "Bank of Mum and Dad" is rapidly running out of liquidity. Rather
than young buyers successfully purchasing homes independently because
prices are falling, they are increasingly locked out entirely by high
interest rates, leading many to stay in the family home far longer

In short, importing people who face the same high housing and living
costs does not magically solve the fertility or aging problems, and it demonstrably adds to accommodation demand while supply remains
constrained.

The structural issuesuhousing supply responsiveness, planning,
construction productivity, childcare costs, and real wage
growthumatter at least as much as the headline migration number.

Mad Magazine years ago 50's? had a cartoon showing a modern apartment,
where one sits on a toilet arms lenght from a fridge TV in front
Seems now true humans are now cage hens

That exact satirical prediction from MAD Magazine has literally become
a reality in the Sydney rental market. The specific concept of an
apartment where the toilet, fridge, and main living space are all
compressed within arm's reach is no longer just a cartoon
exaggeration; it is a regular feature of modern inner-city property
listings.
The "cage hen" reality of modern micro-living is heavily
documented by several notorious real-world

So not bring able to buy a home or have children
They give more money to spend on cars/etc.

Economists call this phenomenon "doom spending" or "lifestyle
resignation," and it is driving a noticeable shift in consumer habits
across Australia

Renters were expected to pay over $500 a week to essentially sleep,
cook, and use the bathroom in the exact same footprint.

The 'Micro-Studio' Explosion: In dense hubs like Potts Point and
Newtown, developers regularly market 18-to-24-square-metre spaces as
"premium minimalist living."
In reality, these layouts force the resident to stand at the stove
while practically touching their bed,
treating humans exactly like "cage hens"

A country should not measure success by how many people it can fit
into ever-smaller apartments. It should ask whether ordinary workers
can afford a decent home, raise children and participate in a secure
community.

Just saw where media want AI to monitor Federal Parliament from press
gallery.

Doesn't matter what they say, that's just stupid click bait

The Ultimate Fact-Checker:
Imagine an AI listening to a parliamentary debate

You aren't even allowed to record it

Don't need to "Our ABC" has every federal parliament transmited on
Radio. Doubt if they will stop that

Corse they won't but that's not AI

or a closed committee meeting.

And that in spades

Nothing is recorded although could be scribed I suppose

It already ends up in Hansard has always done

However AI can intstanty state if true or a lie from all data
available, or when Albanese opens his mouth.

Unlikely any particular AI would be stupid enough to
do that given that the federal govt can fuck them over

Instead of writing notes, it instantly pops up text on a screen
showing:
"This statement contradicts the funding report signed on Tuesday," or
"This policy clause matches a draft provided by a corporate lobbyist>>> last month."

No govt would ever be stupid enough to allow that

That's up to the media that go to the press gallery.

No it isn't given that they aren't allowed to record what
happens in parliament or closed committees in spades

The Resistance:
Many politicians fight against total transparency because keeping
things vague is how backroom compromises are made.
Using AI to automate bureaucratic paperwork and clear out
administrative waste is a great first step.
Using AI as a tool to force real-time honesty on the people we elect>>> would be the ultimate way to "keep the bastards honest.

Ain't gunna happen

Can't be stopped

Corse it can

"Our ABC" has every federal parliament transmited on Radio.

That can't be sent to AI by the press gallery
to get an instant responce by AI
And there is no way to tell AI to listen
to the radio broadcast either

Doubt if they will stop that, needs a vote on it.

No it doesn't the speaker can just tell the ABC
that they can't broadcast the sessions anymore

"AI can make mistakes, so double-check responses Facebook Artificial>>> intelligence is being used in more than half of Australian GP ...

Bullshit

I see a top Specialist in Australia he uses AI, makes consultation
easir for him and I get latest information near instantly

But that's JUST a record of the conversation, not

What they are actually doing is taking
notes, not fact checking or diagnosing

AI can point out fact from fiction as it is spoken,

But no medical professional uses it that way

The old 1/4 acre block is a non-productive asset, and the buildings
are wasting assets. These no longer produce children to replace the
parents. Yet a large block is achievable by placing a large deposit
before borrowing. Thrift is the key!

had cut the laundry in half to make an ensuite for the adjacent bedroom. Fokking tiny, but at least house had 2 dunnies.

A friend of mine had a micro suite (shower, dunny, basin) put into the teenagers rooms. It seems teen-creatures appreciate their own
facilities. In Europe (France) I visited a place where sitting on
the dunny had one's head over the wash basin! Dumpster-sized room!
