So they can become Fake Aussies.!. Arrange their regular CentreLink Pensions then disappear back to their countries of origin.

Fantastic! The insanity of only Whitefellas,like Australian PM ScoMo's foreign White Anglo ancestors,becoming citizens couldn't have gone on forever on my naturally sunburnt black lands since forever. Great to see Blackfellas becoming citizens too!

And bridging visa processing?

Yeah. I know how they test for Australian citizenship. They just force the applicants to agree with everything the Government says. It reminds me of East Germany.

Economic saviour or white elephant? What COVID-19 can teach us about delivering big infrastructure projectsGovernments are banking on infrastructure projects to help the Australian economy recover from the coronavirus recession, but not everyone is convinced it will be worthwhile. Infrastructure is built on stolen money and intellectual property which is why the cookies are crumbling If built for the population ponzi machine then they are mal investment. They are merely a way for the concentration of profit in the hands of a few cartels ( Transurban) whilst all the tax payers wear the cost I can’t eat infrastructure.
