  7.  @ItzCairnsy  <I feel bad for Chinese, Indian and Hong Kong residents that genuinely move to Australia since they can't afford homes in their respective countries > That's not why they fled their home countries. Their reasons for fleeing are largely socio-political.

  16.  @默-c1r  <As you can see from the definition of socialism, it's where "the means of production, distribution, and exchange" are owned by the people. > People as in bureaucrats and government officials.

  17. How about lowering if not abolishing income tax altogether?

  18.  @Thang-qo4ow  Switzerland doesn't have any of those either, yet didn't need socialism/communism to achieve that.

  19.  @LucasFernandez-fk8se  Due to high bureaucracy and building costs along with the mass immigration-induced demand.

  20. Too bad under socialism, you'll have none of the five.

  21. Only to end up either privatized or left to crumble due to mismanagement and lack of investment.

  22. This is preferable to living under Conservatives rule.

  27. Largely imposed by the state.

  28. What does government over-regulation have to do with capitalism?

  29. Exactly.

  30. Justin's step-daddy laid the foundation.

  31.  @shari9721  Simple. Better weather. Lower taxes. Better pay.

  32. No white-collar jobs.

  33.  @Ash-cb8qu  Immigration = high demand for something of limited supply.

  34. Land suitable for inhabitation is scarce as most of Australia is a desert.

  35. Before that, Canada was an appendage of the UK.

  36. <the false idea that that private builders will build affordable homes (Instead they build fewer homes at higher prices for more profit). > Well, they're not building or renting/selling anything at a loss. And they build fewer homes at higher prices for profit to cover the high costs of building and land acquisition.

  37.  @MerryXmasMfkrs  You can't love immigrants if you love socialism as socialism and open borders do mot mix.

  38. Government over-regulation created Air BnB.

  49.  @ChrisJohannsen  No. And not even close.
