It's also just been revealed, that Melbourne (where I live) is 
'the most progressive' major city in Australia. Whoohoo!

(Canberra (in the ACT) is more like a minor, minor city)

It used to be competitve between Melbourne and Sydney (as to 
which was the most progressive), but Sydney (mostly Western 
Sydney really) has a 'very large' numbers of immigrants (from 
countries where religion is still paramount).

But Australia has a pathetic government at the moment, and none 
of us are very confident about the current, or future econonmy. A 
bunch of idiots are in charge. They just seem to want more coal 
mines, so we can export more polluting crap to the rest of the 
world. Bunch of idiots!

Somehow, the economy is still working...for now. But I hate to 
think what will happen if some major economic shock arrives ... I 
think we'll be in big trouble.

Crime is becoming a significant problem in Melbourne too, and 
again, immigration seems to be a central factor (or should i say, 
the lack of integration of immigrants). Again, this goes back to 
the idiots that are in charge.

I left I.T due to too many immigrants coming into the sector, and 
driving down wages.. alot. And now too much outsourcing to 
companies employing immigrants (due to low wage costs).

So I don't think immigrants will have much problem getting a job 
here.

(it's the rest of us that have the problem :-(
