There are heaps of people who came from Taiwan and Hong Kong as a stepping stone to Oz. Oz has seen how stupid New Zealanders are, so they've shut that route. They live for years here, get citizenship, then swoop into Oz. Meanwhile they've enjoyed taxpayer funded education, medicine, prison services, welfare and commonly-owned facilities [such as the water supply which had to be extended - what I'd built would have been sufficient if it had been priced correctly and the population constrained - guess who paid for both the old AND the new water supply]. You are good in math, but auditing is not your cup of tea. Many of those that came from Hong Kong came with money - some with quite a bit of money bought homes, started businesses, put in labor, paid taxes, and consumed goods and services. You provide no support for their contributions - net/net. But you do spout a lot of racist nonsense. All that math - its wasted.
