Everyone wants to be an Aussie.

Except those that don't. But they ought to just leave.
Seriously.
Don't let the door hit you on your way out.
Mokastana: Then Lyras happened.

Allanea: Wanting to avoid fighting Lyras' fuck-huge military is also a reasonable IC consideration

TPF: Who is stupid enough to attack a Lyran convoy?

Sumer: Honestly, I'd rather face Doom's military with Doom having a 3-1 advantage over me, than take a 1-1 fight with a well-supplied Lyran tank unit.

Kinsgard: RL Lyras is like a real life video game character.

Ieperithem: Eighty four. Eighty four percent of their terrifyingly massive GDP goes directly into their military. And they actually know how to manage it. It's safe to say there isn't a single nation that could feasibly stand against them if they wanted it to die.
Yikes. Just... Yikes.

Despite the rhetoric, the PM has very little input in who is permitted to come to Australia. I know it's fashionable to blame Abbott, but folks must have short memories, I sometimes think.

Regrettably, this is likely true.
My experiences with family members from overseas attempting to come here were not ones that enhanced my faith in the system.

EDIT: Watching perfectly good folks be turned away, while eminently unsuitable migrants were accepted, turns the stomach, especially because the system asserts 'we aren't racist, so we have to import people from a multitude of places... according to a formula... rather than their individual merits... and the place your family is from is full up on their quota for this year'.

Family reunion? I thought that was like half of all immigration.
