2.In oz,this is abt Australians 75,000 leaving Oz in a year,ie 3571 per 1 million

I dunt know how many PR in oz.If i know,the figure shall be HIGHER.
1) SG-- 1) assume 5000 leaving,ie 1515 per million citizen.So??
3.So,pl tell me wat kind of selected data NOT disclosed yet?
4.whole package
1) ''Low crime rate (used to be before the influx of large numbers of foreigners)''
crime rate in SG is still very low,after 1 million FT here.They are laws obident

2) Good medical (Super ridiculous fee)
2) can u tell me which country is cheap and good?

Bikie and gf shot inside Lamborghini in Sydney!!
They say Oz is a good place to raise kids.....How i will feel safe when shooting
appear almost daily in media.u will tell me Oz is very very big.The chance is very
low.But where is the police who should stop the shots before the guns are
in the hands of wrong hands.Oz is an island,not connected with third world
country.Containment is pretty easy than USA and Singapore!!
2.The almost absense of international medias coverage on Oz shooting
and ATM blasts indicate possible bias of medias!!
U only hear the shooting in oz after Sydney airports killing.
But u never told almost weekly shooting in Oz and the few dozens
ATM blasts happening in Oz.
U can assure if there is any shooting or ATM blast in SG,it
will be widely reported in international medias.

Dear Lionnoisy,
1) you assume the figure of ppl leaving sg. which makes an ass out of u and me.
2) Thailand. You're obviously just a toad in a well.
3) As far as education fee is concern, why don't you check it up yourself, since you're so good at checking up on OZ? remember to use ratio of pay in sg to uni fee and ratio of pay in aust to uni fee.
** why should i care about other country's citizens when at home we're already having problems? Shouldn't my country, Singapore comes first?
and lastly, you seems to have missed out on: this post dated 03/05/2009 5:06am
So you're agreeing with me? but yet playing the number game? Do OZ have workers who don't get their pay on time? and have protest in their M.O.M(i don't know what it is called in OZ).?
Do OZ citizens need to starve when they're out of Job?
Do OZ citizens get priority compared to foreigners?
Do OZ citizens male citizens need to spend 2 years of cheap labours?
Do OZ citizens need to be pwned so badly by their government telling them that their wages is too high and thus uncompetitive?
etc etc....

and by the way, geylang in sg is not a very safe place too.
**Do you know that Singapore is artificially increasing her population via import of foreigners? You've been pwned. Do you know why? let me show you a example:
sg population year 2001: 1,000,000 no. of leavers: 10,000 new citizen: 30,000
for every 10,000 that leaves singapore, 30,000 more are imported to replace and increase the populations. Thus, It will appears that each year, there's lesser and lesser ppl leaving sg. I hope it is not so complicated for your brain to absorb.

From 1996 to end 2008 ,SG GDP grew abt 85 % bigger,while Oz just 55%.
GDP growth is not everythings.But without it,u dunt have too much option.
This may explain why SG can accept 4100 australians from Oz
and SG have few bucks in foreign reserves!!
Oz just too shy not to list her own performance here.haha.
Talking abt GDP,u will laugh SG is in a worse shape than Oz.
Lets SG GDP drop 10% and Oz remain unchanged,SG still grew
much faster than Oz in the past 12 years,ie 77% vs 55%!!
This may expalin why SG GDP per capita currently is ONE THIRD

In case you forget, let us recap on this,

2) So you're 100% sure that SG grant initially is not meant for Boost? And that Aust grant is a short-term measure?? It will not be long term??? You the Aust government? you can speak up for their policies?

Bikie war doubles drive-by shootings
June 10, 2009 10:20am
THE number of drive-by shootings in NSW has jumped by 81.3 per cent with more than two occurring every week.
The figure is sure to be a sting to the State Government which has always talked up its law and order credentials.
Overall, the crime rate continues to fall with robbery with a firearm down 32.8 per cent; house break and enters down 4.8 per cent; and car theft down 11.1 per cent.
But the latest figures from the NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research, revealed today, confirm that Sydney is in the grip of a gang war.
The official figures state that there were 64 instances of firearms being discharged into premises over the 12 months to March 2008.
That jumped to 116 in the 12 months to March this year.
The biggest jump occurred in the Fairfield/Liverpool areas and the central western Sydney area.
Possession and use of cocaine rose 63.3 per cent while ecstasy use and possession jumped 72.3 per cent.
Bureau director Don Weatherburn warned that the drug use rises should be viewed with caution "as other more reliable indicators of drug use (e.g. hospital admissions, survey data) show no increase in the incidence of drug use over the last two years''.Bikie war doubles drive-by shootings

Dear Love Oz buddies,

According to a survey by ABS,
6 % of households and 5 % of people aged 15 and above are victims
of crime in 12 months!!
VICTIMS OF CRIME

There were 7,855,600 households in Australia in April 2005. In the twelve months prior to the survey:
- 259,800 (3.3%) households were victims of at least one break-in to their home, garage or shed

- 74,800 (1%) households had at least one motor vehicle stolen (graph 11.4).
In total, 488,200 households were victims of one or more of these selected household crimes, equating to an overall household victimisation prevalence rate of 6.2%.
People aged 15 years and over
In April 2005, there were 15,966,900 people aged 15 years and over living in private dwellings in Australia. In the twelve months prior to the survey:

in the latest crime rate report,some crimes drop by half!
I cant believe it.Have they changed the definition of those crimes?
http://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw-crime-down-but-drug-use-soars-20090610-c2tt.html
''The director of the bureau, Dr Don Weatherburn, said the general decline in crime was in line with the national trend towards lower crime rates that has been evident since 2000.
Since that time the national homicide rate has dropped by 38 per cent, the national robbery rate has dropped by 37 per cent, the national burglary rate has dropped by 50 per cent and the national motor vehicle theft rate has dropped by 56 per cent''.

Oz gavaman finds free needle & syringe save lives & billions $.
''For syringes found in the local community - we will come and pick them up.''
read below...then u know syringes can be found in oz.......
wwww
U read correctly.Oz gavaman have given free needle and syringe
for almost 20 years to drugs addicts .This NSP
can save lives from HIV and hepatitis C and saving billions
of dollars in curing them when drugs addicts infected
with shared needle and syringe.
Oz gavaman claimed--
''This has meant that in Australia, HIV infection is very rare among both injecting
drug users and the wider community. In some countries, such as the United
States and parts of Europe, where Needle and Syringe Programs were not
established in time, HIV spread rapidly among injecting drug users and to the
wider community through sexual contact. In Australia, the level of HIV infection
among people who inject drugs has remained around 1%, compared to other
countries with levels over 50%.'''Needle and Syringe Program: Your questions answered (PDF 144 KB)

2.Have Oz gavaman sent the wrong signal to young people and drugs lords?
while we can understand the benefits of the NSP,we also have to look at
the down side of the programme.
Does it mean Oz alredy given up in drugs problems?
I think so.They always say,''If u cant defeat them,join them!!''
Oz have provided air cond and safe Injection Room to addicts since
few years ago.
I dunt know Oz tax payers also so kind to provide Needle etc to addicts.
In this way,i think Oz gavaman shall monopoly selling drugs
and make more $$ and reduce tax!!

TO CONCLUDE,DRUGS IS A WAY OF LIFE IN OZ.
If u stay in oz,u have to sleep with this problem.
Oz gavaman just take
''problematic drug use as a public health, rather than a criminal justice issue''.
In this mind set,u cant tackle the problem!!
Like this Melbourne gavaman message--
''Nearly all people in our communities consume drugs of some sort, whether it be legal drugs, prescription drugs or illegal drugs. Although much of the drug use in our communities does not cause problems, some drug use can have extremely negative effects on individuals, families and the broader community. Harm reduction strategies treat such instances of problematic drug use as a public health, rather than a criminal justice issue. They aim to maximise the health and wellbeing of individuals, their families and the community as a whole.''

Queensland tops drug crime as addiction grows
June 12, 2009 12:00am
QUEENSLAND'S appetite for drugs is the highest in the nation, fuelling demand for dangerous do-it-yourself amphetamine laboratories.
An Australian Crime Commission drug report has revealed the challenge faced by enforcement agencies, who continue to be tested by national and international traffickers.
The Illicit Drug Data Report also shows a re-emergence of cocaine use in Australia, at a time when the nation has the highest per capita use of ecstasy in the world.
It comes as ACC chief executive officer John Lawler exclusively told The Courier-Mail that intelligence operations had revealed drug pushers had infiltrated the nation's ports.
"Intelligence from these operations revealed criminal activity at the majority of ports in Australia," Mr Lawler said.
"Criminal infiltration in the maritime sector was shown to be involved with the importation of illicit commodities, including illicit drugs in Australia.
"We have also identified the presence of organised criminal networks and outlaw motorcycle gangs in the maritime sector."
The report showed 24,162 people were arrested in Queensland for drug use and supply in 2007-2008.
The second highest number was in NSW, which recorded 15,933 arrests.
Arrests are down across Queensland but the ACC said arrests across the nation had been broadly the same for the past three years.
Cannabis continues to be the drug of choice in Queensland, but the state still has the highest rates for clandestine drug laboratories, which generally produce amphetamine such as speed.
"The potential hazards relating to the illicit manufacture of drugs, such as the use of highly toxic, flammable and explosive substances, pose considerable risks to the community," the report said.
"The number of amphetamine-type stimulants arrests are currently the highest on record and seizures remain high."
Cocaine use and detection was on the rise, Mr Lawler said.
"Contrary to popular understanding of the cocaine market, several studies have shown that cocaine is used more frequently amongst those of lower socio-economic status who usually inject cocaine," he said.
Opposition health spokesman Peter Dutton hit out at the Rudd Government for stripping almost $25 million over four years from the National Illicit Drug Strategy in May's Budget, and taking money from the ACC.
A spokeswoman for Health Minister Nicola Roxon said $816 million over five years would be directed at key frontline services and education campaigns.
Australian Medical Association vice-president Steve Hambleton said money would always be needed for drug awareness.
And the Queensland Police Service stressed its commitment to tackling dangerous drugs.
A Canadian national was sentenced to life imprisonment with a non-parole period of 22 years in the Supreme Court in Brisbane this month for importing $35 million of cocaine – the state's largest detected importation and the fifth largest in Australian history.
