Population Strangulation Political Satire by Friday Mash
Things started to go off the rails a bit through the application of multiculturalism
and political correctness and the concept that asylum seekers are not immigrants. To really put a spoke in the works however it took the intervention of braindead governments, especially the Labor model in NSW.
It's all very well to bring in immigrants who increase production and consumption and so produce increased government revenues. Unfortunately the NSW Government failed to comprehend that if they didn't direct some of those revenues towards new roads, public transport, hospitals and power generation to accommodate the extra population they would stuff the joint.
As a consequence there is a strong likelihood that before too long World Vision will be appealing to the people of Bangladesh to support a family in Sydney.
Sydneysiders seem destined to spend much of their lives in traffic gridlock or stuck on trains which never arrive anywhere. Commodores which are jammed for years on the F3 will increasingly become the locations for births and marriages although the huge increase in stationary traffic should cut the road toll.
NRMA roadside assistance services will have to cover things like catering, midwifery, church services and helicopter services for car owners to visit their other homes if they can still afford them. Car purchases could be arranged by helicoptering in a new car to replace the old one which is helicoptered out. A twin turbo delivery on the F3 could be a car or twins.
Other commuters could live permanently in their offices or on trains. Time and motion experts are already devising a plan to help them complete their morning ablutions by cycling them through one minute toilet stops at succeeding stations.
The lesson from NSW is that an insustainable government can't create a sustainable population.
Kevin Rudd was keen on building a huge Australia because he saw it as a way of ruling the world without having to leave the country.
The Greens have an interesting population policy. They seem to be proposing control of population and emissions by only accepting immigrants with no carbon footprints and championing gay marriage especially amongst heterosexuals.
They strongly support people smuggler operations and are rumoured to favour outsourcing the country's immigration programme to them.
Tony has been warning that the current federal government has been allowing an annual immigrant intake large enough to populate another Canberra. That's encouraging. It would almost certainly be an improvement on the existing one.
Perhaps the NSW Government policy of strangulating Sydney is aimed to encourage immigrants to settle elsewhere. However Afghans have a distinct preference for Sydney over building a new Kabul in the Simpson Desert and Tamil Tigers show no interest in roaming the jungles of North Queensland.
Unless the NSW Government can summon a Mary MacKillop miracle Sydney will continue to slide towards second or even third world status. Australia will tumble headlong down the immigrant and asylum seeker destination world rankings to a place of shame even below Aceh and NZ.
