I can’t comment on the wisdom of Australia’s latest immigration policies because I don’t know enough about Australian politics. I just know that every permanent resident I’ve met has made the country they live in their home, and denying them the right to own property is scummy.
Perhaps my beef is really with the concept of permanent residency, because it creates a group of people who are literally second-class citizens.
What? Who said anything about denying them the right to a home? I said Australia should grant less permanent visas not strip rights from existing permanent visa holders. I am not sure you fully understand what permanent residency is; it’s hardly creating second-class citizens. Permanent residency is a transition towards citizenship or an alternative for those who wish to maintain their other citizenship (for countries that won’t allow dual citizenship). People who have never travelled to Australia in their life can be granted permanent residency, it makes no sense for these people to immediately be granted citizenship when they don’t even know if they like Australia.
My father was a permanent resident for over 30 years before he became a citizen and I honestly don’t think he ever experienced an issue.
Oh what a cliché story… a first-generation immigrant who hates immigrants. Yeah, I’m sure your dad did things perfectly and you are even more true blue perfecter than him. Get a grip. Immigration improves lives for natural citizens. Look it up. You probably wont because you seem to have made up your mind.
If you got ‘I hate immigrants’ from the content of my posts then you have shit reading comprehension.

You’re the one making this claim, it is your responsibility to back it up, not mine.
