'They've taken us back to the 1950s!' the defeated Labor MP from my electorate said about the incoming government. Actually, we both said it, in unison, half laughing, half despairing.

LEGO, does that mean you support dropping the current immigration rate of over 238,000 people per year, to under 90,000 people per year, with no 457 visas, just like in the 1950s?

Yours is such a sad article.
There are thousands of Australians out there who think just like you do. They can't believe that the majority could elect a Roman Catholic, anti-abortion, anti-gay marriage, happily married man with three loving daughters and a loving gay sister, who is praised for the good works he does in the community raising money for a battered women's refuge, who is ridiculed simply because he helps out at the local surf club while wearing speedos; and all the time people like Kevin Rudd is swearing at his staff, abusing people he works with, undermining his leader while he sits in his office planning some other wacky venture; while Bill Shorten is still trying to think of ways to differentiate himself from the Obeid, TRipodi, roosendale influence of the NSW right, the stupidity of the NSW left, the criminality of certain union leaders.
Are you and those others, out of your minds? If you can't accept majority rule, you can't live in a democracy. I suggest you go and live in Libya or Syria or Iran where if you don't agree you can start a revolution.
You say Abbott is takings back to the '50s? Bring it on. What a joy. Literacy rates 300% higher, full employment, men had trade skills; children were well looked after.....
Take me home, country road, to the place I was born.'

Yes please Ruth.

And also bring back the White Australia Policy so that we can import people who can be integrated, do not want to blow us up, and who do not create ethnic ghettoes with high levels of drug abuse, criminal behaviour and welfare dependency.

Sydney home prices are now through the roof and an out of control immigration policy is the cause of it. Sydney's streets are choked with traffic and they will only get worse until the only way to move is to get on a tollway

Cohenite, interesting list, but ironically they are all family, i.e. connected to Tony Abbott by choice, how?

Sustainable Population Australia, like Ehrlich, have links to the John Tanton anti immigration network in the USA which in turn receives funding from the Scaife Foundation, whose Richard Scaife is the Vice Chair of Heritage Foundation Board of Trustees...... and of course Abbott gave a speech at the Heritage Foundation 2012.

It seems Tanton, Abbott and SPA all have the same objective?
