to my knowledge there's a considerable difference in opportunity between living here and in india
So? If we let even 1% of Indians have the "opportunity" of living in Australia, it would completely destroy the country.
Australia already has too many people, and if Indians had a positive impact on a country,
India would be a good country. There's nothing magic about Australian soil - Australia's historical majority since founding is the reason it became so, so much better of a country than India. Australia is a much, much younger country than India, it's always had a tiny fraction of the people, most of the land in uninhabitable desert, less of it's land is suitable for agriculture, etc. And yet in the space of a century or two, during most of which only white people were allowed to immigrate here, it grew to be richer than India did in thousands of years. The people make the different.
– i don't know why you picked that demographic out of all of them but you do you ?
Because they're one of the largest sources of immigration to Australia? And like a majority of immigrants to Australia, they're not refugees.
define 'people already here'. does that just mean white australians? (basing this off your point below)
Yes, I mean the people who have made up the overwhelming majority of the country's population since its founding.
no multicultural identity? wow, one search of "australia multicultural identity" and here i have:

"This rich, cultural diversity is one of our greatest strengths. It is central to our national identity."
wow, the literal fucking government of the country says that, you absolute doofus. just because you don't have a multicultural identity, it does not mean others don't.
Why on earth do you thinks this prove anything? A department staffed by 'diversity' lovers, part of a government that is extremely pro-immigration, says that 'diversity good'. OF COURSE THEY'RE GOING TO SAY THAT.
There's no unifed Australian identity or culture. It's literally called 'multiculturalism'. It's different cultures living together, with no expectation of assimilation.
although i really don't care about australian culture/history, i don't see it getting shit on ? similarly to enoilgam, i at least thought australia was a nice country when i came here a few years ago
Yes, just ignore all of the non-whites constantly calling australia "racist" and "white supremacist" and claiming that white people stole the land from aborigines (while being fine with living on this "stolen" land themselves).
i don't know why you generalised the groups into non-white and white australians, and assumed that non-white australians don't respect anything about australia in any way. how am i meant to respond to such a gross generalisation of the whole immigrant population ? i could apply this same, gross generalisation to australian culture and history, but it would be stupid, so i won't.
Because you made the foolish claim that australia has a "multicultural identity", when most non-whites have different culture and values and identity to white australians (the ones who have ancestry in this country usually dating back a century or more).
And im breaking it into white and non-white because multiculturalism means non-whites living in a white majority country, ultimately.
i don't see many people complaining about demographic representation within australian media – where are you sourcing this from ??
I see it all the time. Qanda is the most obnoxious form of this, but I see articles on the topic on a weekly basis.
