I have met many women who have no intention of ever having kids, it is a personal choice. It is not a man or woman thing it is an individuals thing.
I say this woman is woman & man is man thing is rubbish but that is just my opinion, you obviously have your own. I just think we as individuals are not in a position to tell someone if they have to be a house wife/mother or not.
With your arguement you are forgetting the gays/transexuals & cross dressers.
How did we get onto this subject on a finance forum?
It is official the crisis is over for australia, the RBA are strongly advising the gov to stop the stimulus or risk much higher interest rate rises which will cause more issues than the crisis itself. |

| qitulong, you are a very wise man and i enjoy your comments. As a female with young children i share your opinion about being home and just being able to be an emotionally available mother for my children but true cost of living and society makes this very hard and i think this has been detrimental to the children of today. Although i dont knock women who want to have careers. |

| All women have truthful desire to be housewife and build home for themself and family. It always that way and always to be same. Just media and people with strange thinking try to put pressure on womaen to make them feel bad to be so. One of reasons this country now getting into such social mess is this. Women is woman and man is man. Danger comes when confusing it. |

| I agree some are forced but every country & religion has its own timing for freedom to all, it was not long ago that we did not allow women to vote or work, let these women claim their own freedom in their own time, anything pushed or rushed does not always turn out for the best, we should just be tolerant & understanding, afterall they are not affecting us. |

| My dear Mr. "J", I am also a fan :) Mr. "S" has such a way with words. However, ee does have a point. And if you do not mind my saying so, your response was somewhat unfair I thought. Afterall, surely you must admit that though not ALL women of a certain religious "following" are forced to wear the "tent like" garments.. many are. |

Hi Steve, sometimes you come out with comments that give me a chuckle that lasts the who day:-
"Just because a person insists on keeping their wife covered up in a tent like robe from head to foot whenever in public does not nbeccessarily mean that such a person cannot happily live amongst us, does it?"
As you know my girlfriend is a Muslim from malaysia, now she doesn't wear the "tent like robe over her head" but some of her friends do, including some single ones, so your thinking of them being forced to wear these by anyone let alone their husbands is unfounded.
Also I have yet to come across a person wearing the tent over their head that commits a crime in australia or has even been offensive in any way.
But good to see your supporting the tent wearers.
I am willing to say I am for immigration we just need to get stricter on crime & punishment including deportation of criminals that have emmigrate here. |

Hi Ricky, I'm not sure why you think cultural integration will be a change for the worse. How do you think we got to where we are today. Cultural integration is not a new thing and the alternative is war, is that your suggestion, rather than understanding and tolerance.
So far the only two issues I've had since moving to australia with individuals has been the aboriginal fella in Perth that tried to kick my front door in & threaten to rip my head off shouting that he was a true australian. The other individual was a white australian in Brisbane(with ozzie accent) that broke into my house.
I thought the main theme for australian way of life & culture was to give everyone a fair go but you appear to disagree, most new australians come here to just live their lives in peace & safety & are not trying to convert you to their beliefs. |

hi dustinpendragon... it's MS bush_nut...
i am not sure why house prices are getting so high and don't know about immigration having effect, though if there are thousands of people arriving the govt invites the people here, they should be providing housing for them... before arrival of course (a good way to provide jobs for people too).
as for investors having it hard, my ex (loves his money...) bought an 'investment' property and the rent covers 75% of the mortgage, he gets a load back on tax... and he is not hard up after his bills, he shops at Hardley Normal... i shop on hard rubbish (its the same stuff, just been used for a year or two!). :-) |

Finally someone that is a bit more open minded.
We are all humans, maybe of different culture or background, but humans. Australia is a "lucky" country, it is normal for people that aspire for a better life for themself and for their family would like to move here. Ozzies would do the same if Australia was in the same political or economic state as Sri Lanka, PNG, India, Est EU, Africa etc etc. We can't condemn good willing humans for the efforts of bettering their life. And I am sure Ozzies can only enrich themself from other's experienxes, culture, knowledge.
And I am sure a "brand new" migrant is not a threat for getting a Job to Australians, as their skills, work experience or school titles are mostly not recognised here (unless they migrate from anglosaxon countries). I apologize if my written english may contain some spelling errors, but I've been reading lots of "true blue" posts with mistakes as well, that shows there are not many differences, we all are humans, we all do make mistakes at times |

Oh come now!
Are we not being a little hard on those who are so much less fortunate than ourselves....?
Shouldn`t we offer our friendship and open arms and financial, social and other kinds of support to all comers whether they be from different racial back grounds, of a different religious belief or have a skin colour that is different to our own?
Are not all humans compatible?
Why must some people always cling to the old ways?
Is anyone here really, seriously trying to say that we should STOP people from migrating?
Just because a person insists on keeping their wife covered up in a tent like robe from head to foot whenever in public does not nbeccessarily mean that such a person cannot happily live amongst us, does it? |

| Government blessed Immigration arrivals-- add this to the needy quota --add this with the political quota --then interfaced with this needed skill quota -- and whata we got-- at present 200,000 new arrivals every year. Thats 4000 a week thats 10 Jumbo Jet loads A WEEK. Mr Ruddd now has the tickets set for double the intake THATS 20 JUMBO JET LOADS of new Immigrants PER WEEK.The 2000 camping out at Christmas Island who missed the Jumbo Jet only to snitch a seat on a leaky boat are a very Small Number in the numerical immigration Debate,What I want to know how long does it take a new commer to complete his AUSTRALIAN APPRENTICESHIP and how long does Australia and Australians have to stake and work for them or do they stake and work for Australia and Australians. |

So much money goes back to NZ ?
What about the 4 Ozzie banks operating in NZ who tried to swindle the NZ tax office ? |

The worst is sure to come! For lets face it.. Are we not now fast becoming the little USA of Australasia in the sense of migration of homeless, destitute, uneducated, varied ethnic an/or religious peoples...? Many of whom are incapable if not simply downright unwilling to adapt to our way of life and or culture.
Yes! Inevitably.. We shall see our country change as a result of this ridiculous policy of cultural integration..
Change for the worse! |

| What worries me more is the fact that so many NZ businesses obtain contracts for works to be performed on our soil and as aresult do much to support the economy of their own country rather than ours... So much of the money returns to NZ with little if any remaining here in Oz. |

| spikeymxmx - Don`t mean to get into the middle of this with you guys .. But have to say that it does seem to me that there are an increasingly large number of Kiwi`s working and living in our midst...Not sure if they are arriving by the thousands as has been mentioned below. But they are certainly "arriving".. |

| There are not 1000 kiwis arriving every week at Sydney airport! What a load of bollocks! hmmm that would make the New Zealand Population drop by a 3rd in 5 years if you combine the supposed arrivals nation wide in Australia. |

| there are 1000 kiwis arriving in sydney airport every week mr bush nut .......and god knows how many indians as well ! this is why rents and properties are sky rocketing in price and as for people investing in property , thats all over now , who in their right mind would invest in an over priced , over taxed , and high maintenance investment , and by the way the rent on a new investment property will only cover one third of the investors mortgage ....with most young people relying on cedit card funds to keep them in the life styles they are accustomed to , the day of owning yur own home is gone , unless of coz yur parents leave yu one ! |

new zealand house prices dropping, that would be a good thing wouldn't it if it happened here?
normal families with children and a mother that stays home and looks after them (freeing up a job opportunity for others) may actually be able to get a mortgage and live comfortably instead of paying hiked up rents to line other peoples pockets. I think people who like to invest should select commercial or industrial properties and leave homes to home buyers. But thats just me....
And if my property is worth less, it won't matter because everyone elses will be worth less too. |

yes, i think prices have been driven higher by the expectation of two incomes rather than the two incomes needed.
Even ten years ago a couple could buy a modest hardiplank house in outer suburbs on on blue collar wage if you were thrifty.
The house i am in is the modest house, has at least tripled in value from its $80,000 10 years ago. Unfortunately I don't know too many blue collar workers who's wages have tripled. |
