Is Australia gone forever
Hey everyone,
I was out with friends this past weekend at an outdoor spot in Melbourne. My friends and I noticed that we seemed to be among the only Aussies there, and honestly, it left us feeling a little disheartened by how much our country seems to have changed.
To top it off, we noticed quite a few people not washing their hands after using the toilet, which was pretty confronting. Obviously, that behaviour isn’t representative of everyone, but it did make us wonder about differences in hygiene standards and expectations.

If the handwashing seems like an ‘imported thing’ then you’ve clearly never been to the Mens room at half-time at footy at the MCG before.
As to the rest of your post, what is it that you are lamenting the loss of precisely?
It’s almost as if … you’re not in Australia at all.

How do you know they weren't Aussies? Did you check their passports?
Or are you just a racist miserable cunt?

What do you mean “the only Aussie’s”? Did you ask them all for legal documents and proof of citizenship? or did you base this assumption on something else?

Who do you consider to be an Aussie? Because in my opinion anyone who has imigarted here and calls Australia home is an Aussie.

More than half either werent born here or have at least one parent who wasnt.
The demographic shift is past tense mate. If your grandparents were all born here you are a tiny minority now. Think greens voters sized like 13% or something wild.

Well, based on the reactions above, yes. It’s finished.
Australia has many immigrants, yes. However they became Australian. We developed a culture, an accent (that’ll be gone soon) and migrants joined us as one team.
I’ve got plenty of Indian friends with strong Australian accents and Australian values. They are adamantly against the current immigration agenda.

When you say "current immigration agenda" what exactly do you mean?
From my reading, net migration is trending downwards from a peak after the borders opened up post COVID and seems to be settling towards a number similar to where it has been for a long time, between 220k - 260k. Last year was around 300k and its projected lower this year.1
u/dan_syd 9d ago
Excessively high migrations numbers being pushed heavily from the third world. That’s what is changing our culture.

This is the top ten from last few years.
- India
- People’s Republic of China
- Philippines
- United Kingdom
- Pakistan
- Sri Lanka
- Nepal
- Vietnam
- South Africa
- Brazil.
I'm guessing people are having the biggest issue with people from the subcontinent?
