CAIRO (Reuters) - Islamic State claimed responsibility for suicide bomb attacks on three churches in the Indonesian city of Surabaya on Sunday that has killed 11 people, the Islamist militant group’s Amaq news agency said, without providing any evidence.
“Three martyrdom attacks inflicts at least 11 deaths and 41 injuries of the churches’ guards and Christians in the city of Surabaya in East Java province in Indonesia,” the agency said in a statement that gave no further details.

Many countries in Asia, including China, have chosen to lift their people out of poverty by becoming the manufacturer to the ‘Walmarts’ of the world. That model will come undone when every Australian, European, American and even Asian home has a 3D printer with which families can print whatever they want, from food to high-quality clothes and beyond. Value will cease to reside in the product, but will be found in the design. And as the economic foundations of the developing world fail, instability and social collapse in those countries may be the result.
Australia has its own perilous exposure to the coming disruptions of the fourth industrial age. After European colonisation of the continent, Australia developed into a maritime exporting country. There’s an Australian saying that the nation’s economy ‘rode on the sheep’s back’, although more recently iron, coal, education services and wheat, rather than wool, have been its more valuable exports.
Australia has always been a shipper of primary materials and is dependent on the regular dispatch of cargo ships from its shores and the existence of a rules-based world order that provides governance over global shipping lanes and the interaction between states for the regulation of trade.
Yet, as the value of things declines relative to that of information, it’s worth speculating on the effect this will have on Australia’ to continue to generate wealth via its material export paradigm relative to the potential of other countries. Australia is committed to the maintenance of the current global order, but it’s an order that regulates the movement of things and one that was designed by a friendly ally, the United States. Who will set the rules for the movement of information in the fourth industrial age? Will it still be the United States, another nation or perhaps even a consortium of corporations? At this point in time we simply don’t know.

CAIRO (Reuters) - Islamic State claimed responsibility for suicide bomb attacks on three churches in the Indonesian city of Surabaya on Sunday that has killed 11 people, the Islamist militant group’s Amaq news agency said, without providing any evidence.
“Three martyrdom attacks inflicts at least 11 deaths and 41 injuries of the churches’ guards and Christians in the city of Surabaya in East Java province in Indonesia,” the agency said in a statement that gave no further details.
The suspect in a deadly knife attack in central Paris on Saturday evening is a French citizen born in 1997 in Russia's republic of Chechnya, sources say.
Named by media as Khamzat Asimov, he was on a French watch list of people who could pose a threat to national security, the sources said.
Police shot dead the attacker in the busy Opéra district after he killed a man and injured four other people.
The Islamic State (IS) group said it was behind the attack.
French President Emmanuel Macron tweeted (in French): "France has once again paid in blood, but will not give an inch to the enemies of freedom."
Later on Sunday, a judicial source said that a friend of the suspect had been detained for questioning in the eastern city of Strasbourg.
France has been on high alert following a series of attacks. More than 230 people have been killed by IS-inspired jihadists in the past three years.

“Our culture in Hollywood or in the media gives off the distinct air of disregard to people who live in the middle of the country, as if we have no value or do not contribute to the betterment of society,” said Amy Giles-Maurer of Kenosha, Wis.“It’s frustrating. It really wants to make you stand up and yell, ‘We count,’ except of course we don’t. At least not in their eyes.”
“Live in a small or medium-sized town, and you would think we were dragging the country down,” said Michael Martin of Erie, Pa. “We aren’t a country just made up of large metropolitan areas. Our politics and our culture up until now has dictated that we are less than in the scale of importance and value.”
Notably, people in all seven of their categories expressed frustration, even a year after the election, that they are not understood, respected or valued by the powers that be on the East and West coasts. “In the short span of a generation, the face and focus of the Democratic Party nationally has shifted from a glorification of the working-class ethos to multiculturalist militancy pushed by the Far Left of the party,” Zito and Todd argue. “The driving construct of otherness … is at its core driven by perceptions of respect. … The professional Left focuses heavily on race-related questions in analyzing the Trump vote, but race-tinged subjects were rarely cited by Trump voters interviewed for this book.”

THE CASE FOR CUTTING IMMIGRATION
Mark Latham's recent speech to the CIS in Sydney:
IT’S a brave move to be hosting a debate about immigration and questions of ethnic diversity on International Harmony Day. There’s an international day for everything, but I wonder whether we’ll get through the whole session without Tim Soutphommasane and his 18C storm-troopers bursting through the door to close us down for the thought crime of speaking freely about Australia’s immigration intake. Let’s hope we can go the distance. My starting point is to argue that, for sound economic reasons, Australia needs big cuts to its immigration program: for the sake of wages growth, housing affordability, productivity and urban efficiency.
I used to have a little rule, having lived in Western Sydney for 50 years and heard the eternal promise of ‘better planning’, that I called the ‘scream rule’. I’ve now moved onto the ‘garrotte rule’—I always remember the way Gareth Evans said he wanted to garrotte Bronwyn Bishop one night in the Senate. The garrotte rule is for people who say Western Sydney’s problems can be solved by ‘better planning’. For 50 years we have heard of how better services and ‘better planning’ will end the congestion and overcome the paucity of infrastructure. But it never happens. It never happens for the basic reason the elites pushing for Big Australia are way out-of-touch with the realities of suburban life.
Speaking of elitism, I should start with the most elite of the elites, Malcolm Turnbull, our Prime Minister, and his policy-making offsider, Lucy Turnbull. On ABC radio in March 2016 Mr Turnbull said in relation to his Big Australia immigration policy: “This is the simple concept. Most people in their day-to-day work, education, shopping, recreational activities, should be located within 30 minutes of walking, cycling or public transport from their home.”
I failed the 30-minute test today—I left home at 9.45am on the outskirts of south-west Sydney and got here at 11.45. I don’t live in the 30-minute city that Malcolm Turnbull advocates. I live in the 120-minute city, and there’s large numbers of people in the same circumstances because of Sydney’s gross urban inefficiency. We need a helicopter to help us comply with Malcolm’s 30-minute rule. In fact, his helicopter would be nice.
A fortnight after Mr Turnbull said this, Lucy Turnbull echoed his views in an article in The Weekend Australian, in her position as the Chief of the Greater Sydney Commission. She too believes in the fantasy of a 30-minute city. Unfortunately, in terms of urban efficiency and Big Australia, Malcolm and Lucy Turnbull have become to this policy area what Joh and Flo were to good governance in Queensland. On the urban fringe, we are all feeling the adverse impacts.
The Greater Sydney Commission has projected Sydney will need to accommodate another 1.8 million people over the next 18 years, that is, 100,000 per annum. In April 2017, the Federal Cities Minister Angus Taylor said that already two million people call Western Sydney home and this number will increase by another million in the next 20 years.
These numbers have given rise to what I call the Upside-Down City. In the 1970s we had the centre-and-radial-spoke system in Sydney and other Australian cities, where everyone assumed that the most congested spot was in the centre of the city. These days you can put down a picnic blanket and have morning tea in the Cross City Tunnel under Sydney’s CBD. Meanwhile, the congestion has moved to the urban fringe. It’s upside down now. Congestion has become a way of life on the urban fringe, while the centre of the city flows much more efficiently.
Outer-ring inefficiency has a massive economic cost. No sooner have roads like Narellan Road and Camden Valley Way in south-west Sydney been widened and improved, and new car parking areas have been built at Leppington and Edmondson Park railway stations, that the congestion starts again, just six months later. Whenever the state government builds new facilities, the rate of immigration and population growth ensures they are over-crowded again shortly thereafter.
I invite anyone who talks about ‘better planning’ to go to the new Oran Park Public School where, with the wonders of ‘better planning’ from the state education department, they have 24 demountable classrooms—three rows of eight lined up. It looks like Manus Island. All those lefties in Glebe and Paddington who complain about Manus Island should go and have a look at Oran Park. There are huge liveability and urban efficiency costs to this crazy policy of extra population growth fuelled by Big Australia migration.
In Melbourne the situation is no better. A 2013 study found that, “A worker who lives in the centre of Melbourne can access 90 per cent of jobs in the metropolitan area by car within 45 minutes, compared to workers in outer suburban growth areas where just 10 per cent of all metropolitan jobs can be reached within a 45 minute drive.” State Governments cannot keep up with the pace of growth. They promise big things in opposition, raising expectations, but when the reality of permanent congestion sets in, the voters kicks them out in a regular cycle of electoral change.
It’s not just the urban fringe suffering from growing pains. A recent Department of Home Affairs report concluded that, “In parts of Sydney, such as Ryde, Parramatta, the Inner-West, North Sydney, Hornsby and the Eastern Suburbs, migrants accounted for more than 70 per cent of the increase in population (between 1996 and 2016). In Melbourne’s Inner-East, migrants accounted for 100 per cent of the population growth.” New homes and apartments do not simply spring out of the ground. They are a product of a deliberate Federal Government decision to force upon our cities immigration and population overload.
On top of this, our ethnic integration and settlement policies are atrocious. I always look at the promise of the NSW Baird Government when it took a special intake of 7000 Syrian refugees into the state. Mike Baird went to the trouble of appointing Peter Shergold, formerly head of the Prime Minister’s Department, to be the Coordinator-General for Refugee Settlement. Shergold said the new arrivals would live in Coffs Harbour, Albury and Wagga, yet over 6000 of the 7000 Syrians went to one local government area: Fairfield in Western Sydney, with all the problems of integration and service delivery. Fairfield has the highest unemployment rate in Sydney.
I did a couple of surveys last year in the Fairfield town centre and 90 per cent of people there don’t speak English. I support multiculturalism but on the basis that people can speak to each other in the national language of English, so we can communicate and build the bonds of support, trust and social capital. That’s the only way in which multiculturalism can work. But Australia’s immigration program is so big and our settlement programs are so flawed, we haven’t got effective ethnic integration. We’ve got the emergence of ethnic enclaves.
Former Prime Minister Tony Abbott has blown the whistle on the economic impact of Big Australia. He has said the Federal Treasury uses it as an easy, artificial way of boosting Australia’s headline GDP numbers. Over the past decade, two-thirds of Australia’s annual growth figure has come from funnelling more people into the country.
This does nothing to improve GDP per capita – the best measure of Australia’s true economic strength. The Turnbull/Morrison strategy is to boost headline GDP with more people. Yet what the Australian economy actually needs is more incentive and more productivity. Big Australia migration allows Treasury and the Federal Government to avoid this reality. It gets them off the hook – a soft, complacent, self-defeating outcome.
Numerous studies have shown how high immigration levels are causing urban congestion, sluggish wages growth and unaffordable housing in Australia. The labour market has been flooded with recently arrived migrant workers, suppressing wages growth. Governments have flooded the housing market with migrants settling in our major cities, driving up prices. Treasury recently cited a study “pointing to population growth as the main factor driving housing demand and price growth since the mid-2000s, since both natural increase and immigration increased more strongly over the current decade compared to the previous decade.”
Evidence has also emerged questioning the need for an expansive Skilled Migration program. In recent decades, Australia has produced a huge number of university graduates. Forty per cent of the 25-35-age bracket has tertiary qualifications – a high level by international standards. Logically, skilled migration is no longer needed in vast numbers. Why are we spending billions of dollars on our education system each year to then rely on migrants for workforce skills?
The Australian Population Research Centre at Monash University has found that between 2011 and 2016, 84 per cent of new arrivals to Australia aged 25-34 who held degree-or-above-level qualifications came from non-English speaking countries. Among this group, less than one-quarter found work as professionals. We are bringing in engineers to work as taxi drivers.
Migrants are filling semi-skilled jobs in large numbers. In a recent research paper, even the Federal Treasury admitted to the job-taking impact of Big Australia policies. It chronicled how: “Recent migrants accounted for two-thirds (64.5 per cent) of the approximately 850,000 net jobs created in the past five years. For full-time employment, the impact is even more pronounced, with recent migrants accounting for 72.4 per cent of new jobs created.”
These are stunning numbers. New arrivals are taking nearly three-quarters of new full-time jobs in the Australian economy. The Turnbull Government has boasted of strong employment growth since 2013, but overall (for full- and part-time work), only 300,000 new jobs have gone to existing Australian residents, an average of 60,000 per annum.
As a result, we’ve got the worst of both worlds. We’ve got a flooded labour market holding down wages and we’ve got a political system relying on immigration as an artificial way of boosting economic growth. Meanwhile, in terms of job opportunities, existing Australian residents are only getting the crumbs from the table.
The scale of immigration in Australia is massive. The difference between the current program of around 200,000 a year and the 20th century average of 70,000 involves tens of millions of extra people coming into Australia over the next 30 years. It’s reshaping our country in a way that’s bad for our cities, bad for wages growth, bad for housing affordability and bad for economic efficiency.
The purpose of our immigration policy must be to do what is right for the people who live here now, rather than the fantasy that we owe the rest of the world something. In fact, here’s what we owe: we owe it to our cities and the people who live in them to take a breather from high population growth. We owe it to housing affordability and family living standards to return the annual immigration intake to its 20th century average of 70,000 per annum. That would be the smart thing to do, and it’s something that every economist in the country should be advocating.

ABC journalists will be sent to writing workshops in a bid to improve the flagship 7pm news, which is suffering from declining ratings.
Improving the storytelling on the news is a key ambition of a “7 keys for 7pm” strategy document obtained by The Australian.
Last week ABC News attracted about 660,000 viewers in the mainland capital cities. This compares with about 760,000 viewers a year ago. “We want to improve our storytelling for 7pm news,” the strategy document says. “To do so, we’ll begin writing workshops for TV news. These will be aimed at reporters at all levels to help reinforce how TV news storytelling is different and to remind reporters what producers are looking for.”
The ABC stages many training sessions, but a two-hour workshop in Sydney by senior journalist Adrian Raschella several months ago, attended by national reporters and local NSW journalists, was judged a “great success”, the report said. It has inspired a program that will be rolled out nationally.
The ABC has acknowledged the need to improve the 7pm news and promises in the document to deliver more exclusives, more interviews and “a program of big-hitting stories, and not a list of what happened today”.
“If we let the 7 o’clock news be a digest of what has happened that day, we will struggle to maintain audiences,” ABC head of news Gaven Morris told The Australian recently.
