According to Australian media reports, australia's recent wildfires and floods have raged. Just out of the 7-year drought, there was a super flood, drowning a large number of cattle and sheep; the mountains of NSW and Tasmania were still frequent, and hundreds of square kilometers of land were burned. What do the "land lords" and "god" who manage this country really think?
There are two main reasons for the large difference in summer weather in Australia: monsoon and air pressure, wet north winds blowing from the equator in summer, and large areas of rain and storm phenomena after encountering cool southerly winds inland; and high pressure systems are located in the southern region in the summer, preventing rainfall, which brings high temperatures and fires.
Domestic animals drowning in floods are in the wilderness.
After reading the map of Australia, many map parties will say that Australia's geographical location is too good - surrounded by the sea on all sides, the "single-door courtyard" space is private; the latitude is moderate, presumably there is no summer and no summer and no severe cold in winter; close to the South Pole, you can come to a "penguin tour" and "ice field tour" at any time near the water tower...
On top of that, the country is small, at just 25 million people — just the size of a city in Shanghai, China. It is reasonable to say that a small number of people means more resources per capita, a small number of people means a large follow-up carrying capacity of land, and a small number of people means more opportunities for immigrants...
However, this is not the case.
Although Australia's population has grown by 40 per cent since 1990, the absolute population remains low. Netizens who eat melons can't help but ask: Why doesn't this country, which has the sixth largest land area in the world, open its heart to welcome world immigrants from all over the world? Are you afraid that migrant workers will rob the local white people of their golden rice bowls?
In fact, in general, there are four reasons.
The first is geographical reasons. Although the Australian continent is vast, most of it is a tropical subtropical desert and grassland, with high temperatures and water shortages all year round, low vegetation coverage, and is not suitable for human habitation. Only the southeast, southwest and east coastal areas have better natural conditions. Therefore, the cities and populations of Australia are mainly concentrated here, such as Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane, Perth and so on. Once the population is too large, the carrying capacity of natural resources is bound to be insufficient.
The second is the natural environment. The natural environment of the Australian continent is relatively closed, there are many ancient and unique species, and the entire biological chain is relatively fragile (so australia's inspection and quarantine of imported organisms and products is the most stringent). Once the population and biological reproduction are liberalized, it is likely to cause irreversible and catastrophic consequences to the original ecological environment.
The third reason is the historical, humanistic and political factors. Australia, whether in the past, at present or in the future, is pro-European and American, and people have the same language and the same values, which is easy to understand. For non-European and American ethnic groups, the Australian government and opposition do not hold a relatively open policy like the United States and Brazil and other immigrant countries in those years, but are cautious and vigilant. Although Australian law provides for a "pluralistic" ethnic policy, the concept of "white supremacy" is still deeply rooted among the people. In recent years, there have been more Asian immigrants, especially Chinese immigrants, and more than one million Chinese in Australia, and Australia's economic, trade and cultural exchanges with China have also deepened. But what does not match this is that the Australian government's China policy (including immigration policy) is suddenly left and right, cold and hot, and wavering. Overall, the Australian Government's immigration policy is conservative and the threshold is high.
The fourth reason is related to economic strength. Australia's economic structure is dominated by mining and animal husbandry, which is heavily dependent on foreign trade, and the food self-sufficiency rate is very low. If there is a large influx of immigrants, employment opportunities are seriously insufficient, and they will not be able to "feed" a large number of people on their own.
So ah, this piece of "single-door and single-court" kangaroo country that looks good on the map, let's take a look at it, don't think about "breaking into kanto".
