"Right. When there is no welfare, and when all natural resources are privatized (preferably corporatized and equal shares issued to all Australians), then I will listen to advocates of freer border policies. Until then, I will dismiss them as simply having a hidden agenda (like 'smashing the capitalist system' or whatever idiocy they believe in)." Do you mean, no dole/single parents/abstudy, a NIT or NO welfare, and how do you expect land in Aus to be bought up without citizenship or residency. Do you expect a bunch of Japs to stay in Japan and buy it all, building Ichiban Number One Resorts? Does owning resources equate with political power? A better idea would be for charities to deal with "cleared" refos, and to limit welfare rights. You would have to contribute something before you got full citizenship or welfare, couldn't vote themselves into economic rents and by the time they were entitled, wouldn't want to give up current earnings for the NIT. What about skilled workers, or refugees with alot of dosh and investment experience?
