What is the voting system like? Is there an opposition party to the current ruling group? Do people not vote? Does it matter? We have finally turned the tables here is the US, but who knows how much change will "stick?" Voters tend to vote "for the moment," not for what is good on a longer term. Many of us in the US love and admire your country. Your essay is sad and disheartening. Good luck. There seems to be a"world change" regarding migration and it doesn't look like it will work out well.
Thank you, though the picture your overview presents is indeed grim.
Despite the severity and negativity in the social and economic prospects for Australia, Australians seem to be oblivious to their predicament, or they are determined to carry on with their consumerist dream standards of living judging by their motor vehicles. The future may look bleak, but that doesn't deter Australians from upgrading their utes - without a local motor vehicle manufacturing industry, the fully-imported Chrysler Dodge Rams, Ford F-150s, and Chevrolet Silverados are proliferating - and family urban 4WD, grotesquely also including those from Maserati and Jaguar. The subsidies on EVs must also be substantial too owing to the mushrooming Tesla models on the roads. It was said that Aussies love their cars, but in light of this state of affairs of collapse and the nugatory economic prospects for their children, this is more like a destructive compulsive abusive obsession.

I have been saying for awhile the immigration is dangerously in excess of the housing rate = housing/cost of living crisis.
