==Immigration and Economics==
Line 19 ⟶ 20:
 
I removed this sentence ''' "Battlers" is a term that describes native [[working-class]] people in Australia who cannot afford education for their children to the extent [[immigrants]] can, and hence learn less money and have lower rates of health <ref>http://www.iht.com/articles/2004/08/28/eddavis_ed3__0.php</ref>. This is mostly due to government policies.'''. (a) the term as understood means struggling people generally, (b) immigrants are certainly not advantaged over native-born Australians in terms of accessibility to HECS, education etc and (c) the IHT article cited makes no reference to your definition of "battler" or the alleged disadvantage they suffer. It is dishonest to put your words into the mouths of more established writers. [[User:Kransky|Kransky]] ([[User talk:Kransky|talk]]) 05:56, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

* I think it's pretty close to being able to take this tag off. The circumstances are such that the previous Liberal government will get a bit of a mention because that accounts for the past decade. The ABS stats for 2007-08 will be out around the first anniversary of the new government - and we can slot that in, plus anything that anyone may have gleaned from budget documents, policy statements etc in relation to the Labor government. Wouldn't that help it look more balanced? [[User:Pippu d'angelo|πιππίνυ δ]] - [[User talk:Pippu d'Angelo|<small>(dica)</small>]] 14:19, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

== Orphaned references in [[:Immigration to Australia]] ==
 
I check pages listed in [[:Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting]] to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for [[User:AnomieBOT/docs/OrphanReferenceFixer|orphaned references]] in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of [[:Immigration to Australia]]'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for ''this'' article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

==Aborigines as Immigrants==
 
The statement that aboriginal Australians (or Americans) were the first migrants is silly, as it negates the concept of indigenous people and has misleading implications (We are all Africans; Everyone is an immigrant; Aboriginal societies have lived for 50000 years without cultural change). This politically charged trope has frequently and unhelpfully been used in support of, or against, multiculturalism, immigration, land-rights, or special recognition of aboriginal peoples. The problem is the vast difference in the time scale of human genetic ancestry and that of social history. Humans first arrived in Australia some time before 40000 years ago and genes from these original migrants are prominent in the ancestry of Aboriginal Australians. That, however, does not make living Aboriginal people migrants. No culture on earth has survived over such a period and those ancient societies would have been as foreign to the Eora people around Botany Bay in 1770 as were Cook's crew. The early archeological record is sparse, particularly in cultural artefacts but there is abundant evidence of cultural change over the last 5000 years, during which there was also contact and interbreeding between Asian and aboriginal people. Even this recent time-frame encompasses the entirety of all written history - and predates such concepts as Europe, Asia, America or Africa. Aboriginal societies are culturally diverse but, to my knowledge, Aboriginal oral history and traditional belief unequivocally places their origins in Australia. If Aboriginal people are migrants, or descendants of migrants, then there is no distinction between Europeans and Sumerians. The social concept of ancestors is more meaningful when it is restricted to recorded or reported history. [[User:Spookpadda|Spookpadda]] ([[User talk:Spookpadda|talk]]) 11:24, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
 
== Proposed merge with [[Australian immigration policies]] ==
 
All of the information in the policies article is duplicated elsewhere (such as [[Immigration to Australia#Immigration and Australian politics]] and [[White Australia policy]]). I don't see that there is enough content, which isn't notable on it's own (White Australia Policy), to warrant an article to itself.

== Ranking of Australia for accepting humanitarian refugees ==
 
I've just checked the refs provided for the changed rankings given by IP User:122.108.54.117, and there seems to be a discrepancy. The figures quoted in Table 1 of the reference given, [http://www.unhcr.org/cgi-bin/texis/vtx/home/opendocPDFViewer.html?docid=5149b81e9&query=asylum%20trends UNHCR Asylum Levels and Trends in Industrialized Countries, 2012], have Australia accepting 3% of the global number of asylum seekers in 2012, ranking Australia 11th in terms of global numbers, and 19th in per capita terms. The IP User had put
 
:''Australia ranks 49th in the world for total number of refugees (62nd in refugees per capita). Less than 0.3% of refugees worldwide are resettled to Australia under UNHCR mandated conditions''.
 
These figures may be right on a global scale, if all countries are considered and not just the industrialised ones - but this would need to be supported by a more relevant reference. Cheers, [[User:Bahudhara|Bahudhara]] ([[User talk:Bahudhara|talk]]) 05:11, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
 
: IP User:122.108.54.117 has provided an updated reference, however it is to this webpage "[http://www.unhcr.org/pages/4a02afce6.html ''UNHCR Statistical Yearbooks'']" and the IP's very inadequate note "See tables 3, 24.", which aren't on that particular webpage. By hunting around I've managed to verify only one of the figures (Australia is ranked at #62 "Refugees to 1,000 inhabitants" - buried in table 24 in a statistical annexe to the 2012 report) but not the other ranking and percentage figures (e.g. Table 3 in the statistical annexe has only absolute numbers, not rankings or percentages).
:It would be very helpful if IP User:122.108.54.117 could provide more specific and properly formatted references. Cheers, [[User:Bahudhara|Bahudhara]] ([[User talk:Bahudhara|talk]]) 01:00, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
 
== Consensus is requested on the deletion of a text titled “Recent concerns about New Zealanders taking Australian jobs” ==
 
{{Consensus | Consensus is requested on this topic}}
 
I wrote this text in this article:
 
________________________________________
 
==== Recent concerns about New Zealanders taking Australian jobs ====
 
Bob Birrell, an academic at Monash University, wrote in a 2013 article entitled "Tougher policy needed for New Zealanders wanting to work in Australia" that:
 
<blockquote>"During the 1990s, the Australian government sought to better target its migration program to skills needed in Australia. The resulting tight arrangements contrasted with the freedom of New Zealand citizens, regardless of age or skills, to move to Australia. Also, by this time about a third of the New Zealand citizens arriving in Australia were from third world countries who had gained New Zealand citizenship after the required three years of residence (now five years). As the New Zealand migration rules were less strict than those applying in Australia it was thought that this was a form of "back door" entry.
 
The changes to the Trans-Tasman rules in 2001 reflected these concerns. The Australian government’s expectation was that the new rules would deter movement on the part of New Zealand citizens who could not meet the requirements for permanent skilled migration.
 
Few New Zealand citizens arriving since 2001 have accessed this permanent residence pathway. The changes have also not deterred New Zealand citizens (including those from third world countries) from moving to Australia. Their numbers continue to increase. New Zealand citizens are adding about a net 27,000 to the number of Australian residents each year – more than any other country.
 
The reason is that the gap in GDP per capita in Australia and New Zealand is growing and is currently over 20%. New Zealanders will keep on coming while this gap persists.
 
Successive Australian governments have continued to better target the migration program to skills needed in Australia. The emphasis now is on employer sponsorship – on the grounds the employers are the best judge of the skills needed. The unregulated New Zealand flow is leaving a gaping hole in these efforts."<ref>http://theconversation.com/tougher-policy-needed-for-new-zealanders-wanting-to-work-in-australia-12007</ref></blockquote>
 
________________________________________
 
 
and Nick_D removed it saying “Birrell is qualified to have views on this topic, but he's unusually unkeen on migration among Australian demographers”
 
There is no undue weight, because the only thing that text is doing is quoting Bob Birrell, it is not making any conclusion from that quote, and the text would be very useful to readers of this page, especially due to the reference, because when readers click on the reference to Bob Birrell's article they can see the sources that he uses.
 
I think that with the removal of this information the only consequence that occurs is that readers have less access to information about the opposing views to immigration. It would be perfectly appropriate for the government that wants to bring as many immigrants as possible. So I think that following Nick_D's advice would only serve to promote the interests of the government. Nick_D also opposed to a well-sourced text on the anti-immigration sentiment in Australia here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Australia#Can_this_be_said_in_this_wikipedia_article.3F
:::It should be deleted. The section is a) future oriented (" New Zealanders will keep on coming ") such that it violates the Wiki rule against crystal balls and b) is poorly sourced ("it was thought that..." means who???) and c) is heavily loaded with nativism ("The unregulated New Zealand flow is leaving a gaping hole in these efforts." ) [[User:Rjensen|Rjensen]] ([[User talk:Rjensen|talk]]) 10:16, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
::::In my opinion, quotes should be exempt from these rules, I guess there are already many quotes in wikipedia that are future oriented. A quote is what somebody says, that person may say future oriented things. But I imagine that all the criticisms of this text are directed to the fact that the ideas presented in it are being given too much importance and the opposing ideas not. Well, first, I have not found the opposite view on the Internet, so I can not write it here, if you know it then enter it here. Second, if you do not have sources that tell the contrary opinion then we could put a notice in the main article near the text so if any reader knows these sources then that reader could add them here. That may be what it should have been right for Nick-D to have done (to put a notice requesting additional sources) rather than removing the entire text. Third, I will think better if making this quote shorter is a good idea. Finally, I guess you can not deny that this text provides some more useful information that was not present in the article before, right? <small><span class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Abcdudtc|Abcdudtc]] ([[User talk:Abcdudtc|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Abcdudtc|contribs]]) 13:38, 15 January 2015 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
