I've heard a lot of Sky News talking points and very few facts in this discussion. If you want to come back to me with some validated statistics of exactly how our current immigration numbers are making life worse here, then I'll listen. Until then it's all just hot air.

Recycling the blades is a challenge. Cement co-processing seems to be the best option currently. There'd have to be some innovative reuses of them - there was a story in ABC recently of someone making surfboards out of them. I'd have thought they could be incorporated into fences, walls, roofs etc. https://www.mdpi.com/2075-5309/15/14/2414

https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202604/1359787.shtml Robot in China went off-script, turned around and hugged a female student. They're saying it wasn't a conscious decision on the robot's part. Looking at the target of its affection (blonde girl in a miniskirt) my thesis is that the AI was programmed by a teenage boy...

I heard that a security guard had been shot by the intruder (shotgun), but not injured due to protective equipment (guessing vest).

Bit overpriced I think, but a very nice looking bike.

Musk is a rabid fascist. He's made a habit of sticking his nose in other countries business and supporting the worst far right policies and parties. If Musk is complaining about Australia's immigration then we must have it about right.

Grok is the worst performing AI, not sure why you used that as an example.

You mean if one is reasonably intelligent and a normal human being? Thanks.

Not to mention nursing home staff. My 93yo mother is looked after by Nepalese, Thai, Indian, African,Sri Lankan and Malaysian Australian staff. Barely a white face among them. She knows all their names and asks after their kids, and you can see the gentleness and respect they show her. There are certainly the job opportunities in that industry if "traditional" Aussies want them, but they don't.

Bloody well said.

FFS. He was asking if you consented to his handling your feet to cut your toenails. When my karate sensei corrects my stance he asks permission to move my arm. In the age of Epstein and Weinstein it's just safer to ensure you have consent before touching someone's body. If you want someone to blame for that, entitled rich creeps like them and indeed "grab 'em on the pussy" Trump should be your target.

And just like a mafia boss, he should be behind bars

Yep, I was born here but my father emigrated from Sri Lanka. I should probably leave too as I'm untraditional. Not sure where I'd go though.

I was about to say that Barnaby works hard at being a clown, but I think it comes naturally.

I would be very interested to know how immigrants have affected people PERSONALLY. There's a lot of anti-immigration rubbish on here. It's all general. Personally, in my team at work there are 3 people who emigrated to Australia. They're hard workers and good people. So I'm interested why people have a problem with Australia's current immigration regime. Is it because of the stories in the Murdoch press? Is it because you want a simple scapegoat for complex societal problems like house prices? Or have you been personally impacted by immigration?
