Brendan, Wake up to yourself. This $#!t doesn't help the Forum. . Nev

Are there immigration figures for feb 2026? Short answer: not yet in a clean “monthly immigration” sense for February 2026—but there are related figures you can use, depending on what you mean. Monthly “arrivals” (closest thing available) The Australian Bureau of Statistics publishes monthly Overseas Arrivals and Departures (OAD) data. Latest release goes up to January 2026, not February yet Even when February is released, this dataset counts border crossings, not actual migrants (people can enter/leave multiple times) 👉 So: you can get February 2026 arrivals eventually, but it won’t equal “immigration”.

You get a Royal Flush every time at the Palace. Nev

Look it up. 100000 people in February alone. You lefties will never admit there is a problem

Just look at this sh!t show.

Individually we are intelligent beings. Just recall the last time you had to come up with a decision to some problem or task that was facing you. If you were successful, or not, your level of knowledge incerased. But that knowledge will remain inaccessible to the rest of us without a language to use to communicate it from you to us. The first method is the spoken word. After that the problem to be overcome is making a permanent record and that leads to writing. Once somethng is writeen people must learn to interpret your symbols, i.e. that's reading.

Language allows us to express ourselves and communicate. Intelligence is how well you Process information. Intelligence is not the same as knowledge. Knowledge is acquired. Nev

Lousy source of information, Brendan. Nev

I think it is crucially important that, whatever our views are, we try hard to present information that is accurate. The problem with a meme is that it can say anything, true, partially true or false, and this somehow becomes fact. Incorrect reporting of ABS data fuelling false claims Australia has a mass migration problem The report’s authors say that public commentators, activists and some media outlets are incorrectly using Permanent and Long-Term (PLT) movement data, which is collected by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), to claim Australia has a ‘migration problem’ and distort public understanding. This is despite repeated, clear comments from the ABS that PLT does not measure migration but instead records people coming in and out of Australia, and includes tourists, temporary visa holders, returning residents and repeated short absences. ANU Professor Alan Gamlen explains that net overseas migration (NOM) — the number of migrants arriving in Australia minus the number of migrants departing Australia — is in fact falling sharply and has been since June 2023. Approximately 838 people were added to Australia's population each day through net migration during the 2024–25 financial year [5.18, 5.21]. This daily figure is derived from Net Overseas Migration (NOM), which measures the number of people arriving in Australia minus those departing [5.27, 5.33]. It is the most accurate official measure for population growth, as it only counts individuals who stay in the country for at least 12 out of 16 months [5.27, 5.33]. Recent Migration Statistics (Daily Breakdown) Net Overseas Migration (NOM): In the 2024–25 financial year, NOM was 306,000, averaging roughly 838 people per day [5.18, 5.21]. This was a decrease from the record high of 538,000 (approx. 1,474 per day) seen in 2022–23 [5.21]. Gross Migrant Arrivals: About 1,556 people arrived daily (568,000 annually) in 2024–25 [5.18, 5.21]. However, many of these arrivals were offset by the roughly 720 people who departed daily during the same period [5.18, 5.21]. Permanent vs. Temporary: Of the daily arrivals, only about 252 people per day (92,000 annually) arrived on permanent visas, while the majority were on temporary visas, such as international students [5.3]. Distinguishing Different Data Measures Reports often cite different numbers depending on the metric used: Official NOM (Population Growth): Currently averages around 838–933 per day based on the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) [5.27, 5.33]. Net Permanent and Long-term (NPLT) Arrivals: This is a "raw" measure of border crossings often used as an early indicator [5.13, 5.32]. It is typically higher (sometimes cited as 1,160 to over 3,400 per day in specific record months like February) but can be misleading because it may count the same person multiple times if they travel frequently [5.1, 5.2, 5.11, 5.33].

Well, that makes the U.K. a poor candidate for sewer waste breakdown.

And what is the total cost of Frances nuclear energy, including decomissioning of nuclear power plants, disposing of nuclear waste, and the cost of nuclear accidents. Are you happy to have nuclear waste buried next to your house?

Where's your official references to this sweeping extreme right wing claim? - apart from regular One Nation outbursts?

Its the uncontrolled immigration. Albo is importing thousands of new voters that hate our way of life as much as he and his leftie mates.

Couple of my nieces have 1/16th aboriginal in them. They went to university and now we have some interesting family discussions. Their mother says they embarrass her quite regularly. They do the big talk but they wouldn't last long going back to their aboriginal roots. Makes me laugh, they are 1/4 English as well.

Pretty basic really. Green is good black/brown is bad. Yellow mediocre. Close to 17 at the moment. Even exporting 1.8GW into Spain which doesn't happen much. Make your own minds up. https://app.electricitymaps.com/map/zone/FR/72h/hourly -

Good question. No doubt there is a connection. On the flip side of that thought, Without my grasp of language, I would never have found out how unintelligent some folk are....

If a large language model can do all that, is it just language that makes us intelligent?

My dad was that bank official, though before your time GON. He used to drive to Cabramurra each fortnight with a pistol to do the pays. Took me with him once.

I worked on the Snowy scheme. It was like a Nazi slave labour project, except the slaves got paid, the only real difference. Half of Europe was there, clusters of Spanish, Germans, East Europeans, Italians, etc, hardly any group understood the other. I understood none of them They got in line on pay day to send their pay back to Europe. The bank official sitting at his wooden desk out in the open air often shouted, "You can't send that much". There was a limit, they were trying to send nearly all their pay. It was a very dangerous place to work at. I was doing field work one night and a siren started blasting. I guessed there was about to be an explosion for soil removal. I ducked under a diesel compressor, the only cover, and rocks fell out of the sky landing all around the compressor. Safety instructions were unheard of. One slave was killed while having lunch under a massive haul truck wheel. It started up and squashed the bloke. Another lost his life when he lost control of his dozer. In the few months I was there before being transferred to Bougainville, three slaves lost their lives. This was my introduction to multiculturalism. What a wild and woolly turnout that was.

Darryl the gambler from storage wars has passed away at 67. i didn’t mind this show when it started, since learnt a lot was staged.

In the eighties I used to watch cartoons on a show he hosted. Sad to see younger people passing.

Anyhow the thread title includes the Word IMPACT. Doesn't that imply damage? Remember how the Snowy scheme was built and the railway through the American Rocky Mountains . Nev

He Behaves just like one. He only deals when he has a gun to your Head. IF he was a car Headlight bulb, He'd be about 5 watts. Definitely NOT Forman Material.. Nev

It looks like a DIVE at the Moment and due to the State that Building is in. That's a "Local Yokel" thing so.... NO. PLUS it could just be advice for JACK.. Nev

If you don't get rid of $#!t you are in it. Cities are full of it. Sunlight sanitises. Nev
