it's worse. he took a free university education in the UK and then left the country. a net drain on my society. literally white trash.unnamednewbie13 wrote:

Dilbert if you acquaint yourself with australian immigration requirements you'll maybe notice it's one of the strictest regimes on the planet. Only a very select few can enter or get citizenship without proper papers, proof of residency & employment. So 'as a rule' anyone who enters is deemed a 'net benefit' at first sight.Dilbert_X wrote:
You guys, we've done this before.
I worked in the UK ten years as an engineer - I'm sure I repaid the pittance my degree cost many times over in tax, plus the millions of dollars of actual work I did - and came to Aus as a chartered engineer, skilled migration cost me almost nothing.
I'm not going to claim we repaid the millions we cost the UK govt, the ruined careers, the deaths etc, sow the wind reap the whirlwind as they say.
Anyhoo, I think a country should be free to decide who it lets in, not just have to take in anyone.
On topic: Apparently I'm supposed to have a near death experience to trigger the vaccine induce mutations.
Any suggestions?
The australian government only allows entry into the country based on individual exemption. How that exemption is determined is probably based on factors such as family reunification, employment in essential jobs, or people who have been fully vaccinated.Dilbert_X wrote:

Also incredible as it may seem if 40,000 people decide to take a foreign trip every month the queue to get back in doesn't get shorter.
australia has the lowest rates of vaccination right now of any OECD country. you're at like 4-5%.Dilbert_X wrote:

No we're at, like, 12% which is not good but AZ has been a disaster and the jews barged the queue and took our vaccines.uziq wrote:

meanwhile you yourself evince vaccine skepticism and say you won't have it.

Tomorrow I'll check it with a RF spectrum analyser, but I'm guessing any microchips will need a polyphasic multi-frequency encrypted algorithm to trigger a handshake so its probably a waste of time.
Um no it isn'thalf of australia is back under lockdown.
Isn't it a shame thatthis will continue interminably as long as any every variant turns up on your shores (inevitably it will; you can't turn the whole country into a sterile zone).
Well then there's no prospect of vaccines keeping ahead of this thing so what is your solution?you'll still be shaking your head no-no at a vaccine when the lambda and gamma variants are here (peru and brazil are brewing them up).
you're part of the problem but you don't see it.
UK full re-opening after 60-70% vaccination. sky-high cases but the same deaths as korea or taiwan.
it's almost like science works. but why am i telling you this? i thought you were the SCIENTIST.
The current system is fine, except international arrivals are greater than the quarantine system can cope with so they've been cut by 50%, people like uziq still argue for open borders and claim any other policy is racist.Larssen wrote:

What, exactly, do you propose. How is that not enough.
The same goes for immigration in a broader sense. There's a whole list of requirements you have to satisfy to be granted a working visa and residence permit. Why is it not good enough, or do you want to add some bizzaro rules that allow for arbitrary rejection or revocation?

Sounds like legitimate criticism to me.Lebanese Muslim Association president Samir Dandan said the police had not cracked down as hard on other Sydney areas in the past and the "disproportionate" response would be harmful to the community.
"This is highly problematic and reinforces the experience of this community being over-policed and continues to create heightened sensitivities around the over-scrutinisation of these communities," Mr Dandan said.
"We would have appreciated a much more balanced response and something that is more in line with their response to communities elsewhere who had similar clusters.”

I'm quite sure that in the entire industry there's still lots of people involved. I wasn't thinking about people physically mining stuff in a highly developed economy in the 21st century Dilbert...Dilbert_X wrote:
