Immigration is one area where Australia is a virtual one-party state. As expected, the Labor-lite opposition hasn't said boo about Australia's death by immigration.

The '$40 billion "export" industry' is the biggest rort of the lot. Even some universities are now banning 'students' from certain parts of India because their visa applications are crooked; crooks not interested in education but work and permanent residence.

Australia universities are not particularly good, and foreign students are applying for, and getting, visas only for the opportunity of being granted permanent residency, much easier to get when they are in Australia already.

And, just recently, Comrade Albanese has done a deal with India to let in 'workers' with totally useless degrees from crappy Indian universities. These people will be fit only for feeding old people and wiping their arses; and most of them won't be able to make themselves understood in English.

The time is fast coming when Australia will be like the s..thole countries that these useless people are coming from.

The theory behind temporary visors may have been that the people would do a short stint then pop over to some other country. Logic and anecdotal evidence suggests most of them want to stay. A Pacific island aged care worker interviewed on the ABC said the plan was to bring out relatives but then said she misspoke. Foreign students can do a Diploma of Aromatherapy or whatever, work as a waiter for a few years then bring out the relatives. This is not a colour thing as it applies to Anglos as well.

Albanese or his minions are giddy with the idea of 'green growth'. However we're coming off Covid, baby boomer retirements and three years of plentiful rainfall thanks to La Nina. Those conditions are temporary. Couple massive immigration with dry times and coal closures and I think things will be tough. Affordable housing and bulk billing will belong to the past. Already per capita GDP is slipping apparently. Nobody voted for this.

"60% of Australians want a temporary pause on the intake of new immigrants until more economic and social infrastructure, such as schools, roads, hospitals, and houses, are built." (IPA

60% is enough to get rid of a Big Australia government. But, we would only get the other Big Australia government. Just voting is no longer enough to maintain democracy.

"Respondents were also asked if Australian pensioners, veterans, and students should receive first preference for local jobs rather than new migrants, with 69 per cent agreeing, and only 21 disagreeing." (IPA).

"So what?" is what both Albanese and Dutton are thinking. "With our ridiculous voting system - compulsion and preferential - we' ve got Australians by the short and curlies, and there is nothing that they can do about it. In government or opposition, the money is still good. We certainly don't suffer like the silly plebs voting for us."

Life drags on.

Hear and well said, ttbn. The will of the people means SFA!

This is economic insanity. Germany became the engine room economy of Europe by making the skill shortage migrants guest workers who'd go back when their contract expired. And made certain by withholding half their salary and only paid when they were back home.

We don't need more migrants; we need truly affordable energy! That's all we need do to get the economy off the floor and really humming. And what you said.

I want to be treated by doctors and nurses of my kin not Indian's or Chinese. I don't want to die thinking that they moved me overseas in my sleep.

The medical profession's brief is to treat the sick- but this honourable brief has become weighed down by lead addendums of wokeness. Now hospitals refuse to treat you if you demand practitioners of your own kin. This is the grand age of "do it even if it causes harm".

What is being done to Australian's is genocide according to the UN definition- they are replacing us with Indian's and Chinese because the Indian's and Chinese have engaged in population warfare since the fifties.

They have created desperation in their own countries amongst their own populations now they are blaming the West because their own leaders don't listen. They have used these desperate people to create an economic miracle of economy of scale- but at a terrible cost of crushing overpopulation density- and now they want to send them overseas to replace their competitors. Contemptible.

If these nations people had pride they would hold their own leaders to account rather than passing the buck.

TOO MANY PEOPLE !! !! !!

I always thought the Goaf & Keating & Rudd were out of their depth but it’s beginning to look like Albo will sink SS AUSTRALIA.

Sincere thanks for comments, OLO readers. I do caution, to keep this about numbers, and not ethnicities.

As the Labor front-bench ups their desperate cavalcade of lies, to entrench Big Australia 2.0, they will play the Race Card increasingly often.

In Hawke's Memoire (1989)- according to Rita on Sky- apparently he said that the Labor and the Liberal parties have an agreement to never discuss immigration- sufficating the debate of airtime- so that they both can push immigration at the expense of the Australian people. But democracy requires debate- and an electorate that understands the system- in order for the democratic embodiment of the "efficient market hypothesis" can function- ie. the electorate can act in the best interest of themselves

Steve S- I've thought a lot about this in the past and believe that we need to release the Traditionalist view because it's essential nature is goodness- though unsophisticated- rather than keeping it tied up by special interest ideology on the Communist and Libertarian sides. This is the reason the Liberal Party is becoming increasingly irrelevant. The Liberal Party despite their Economic credentials- admittedly much better than the Labor Party doesn't seem to understand the two sided market of their support, it's quantitative and qualitative dimensions, and succession. Both sides are alienated from the masses- but the Communists even more so.

I try to focus on interpreting Traditionalists rather than constraining their views.
