By Ross Elliott, published 9/8/2023

The percentage increases predicted for Australian cities are several times that of these advanced western cities.

The truth's there, in the first two graphs. Albanese lied to voters before the election. He has embarked on the most extreme immigration program of all time. He and senior Ministers continue to lie repetitively, insulting voters at every opportunity that it's just a COVID "catch up", or "lower than" Morrison, or "not something" they control.

Poll after poll, even that of biased ABC Q+A, says that voters simply don't want this. In which case, the bland "bothsiderism" of this article is profoundly misplaced and dangerously misleading. The last thing we need, is one more property insider defending Albanese's indefensible.

High immigration is welcomed by "many governments"?

High immigration is CAUSED by governments! In particular, the only government we have to worry about, the extreme Left Albanese government.

Mind you, the Coalition is into big government too, despite the Shadow Minister, Dan Tehan, lying that they would change things if they ever get back into government.

And, it is all happening because stupid Australians keep voting Labor, Coalition and Greens when there are openly anti-mass immigration politicians they could vote for.

Sheer stupidity. We are breeding ourselves out of existence and, sadly, taking all other animal species with us.
TOO MANY HOMO SAPIENS.

I noticed a non English speaking couple each holding a newborn. Perhaps they thought Australia was the Promised Land where growing a family was the first order of business after migrating. There are some pushback factors looming. AI is supposed to reduce demand for clerical workers while farm mechanisation is supposed to reduce the need for farm workers. Agriculture is a two edged sword. Urban sprawl is removing good soil and rainfall areas from production and water demand will suck the rivers dry in El Nino years.

Per capita GDP is expected to decline; that is those already here will have a reduced share of national wealth. Electricity and water prices appear set to increase by double digits every year. People can barely afford housing. We are cramming more people into the lifeboat until it sinks to the waterline. Alternatively we could be like Switzerland which is wealthy and uncrowded.

Mad hatter's tea party, population growth based, economic growth. And as dumb as! We simply don't have the water resources for the population we have now, nor affordable housing.

Creating artificial demand through extremely stupid migration policy just forces the cost of everything up! But especially housing!

Time the jerk water, drop kicks, inventing this madness, were sent packing into the political wilderness, never to return.

I blame Morrison.

If he had not won we would never have had this mad hatter Albo in the lodge, & things would never have got quite so bad.

Time to get out of South East Qld. I hear the weather is nice in Home Hill these days. It may be a long way to a real hospital, but at least the roads won't be clogged with electric vehicles with flat batteries.
