Failing country? or other?

Well, here we are with some pretty easy to read data -

and this is only a couple of measures of the systematic failing in Australia -

can we blame immigration ? ----------- I don't think so ------- because we've seen these things sliding for decades now ------------- well enough time to adjust to increasing resources to a growing population -
