The “ordinary voters” had the chance to do something about immigration at two elections. They did nothing. They even increased Albanese's seats the second time. The “ordinary voters” are either stupid or suicidal. They should not be forced to vote because they don't understand - or care - about democracy or the tyranny of compulsory voting.

Albanese still has two years to continue to replace the locals with immigrants, and my money is on the “ordinary voters” rewarding him again.

The ‘Bondi Commission’? A mob for Palestinians has gatecrashed that, and turned it into a rant against Israeli, when it was supposed to be about antisemitism in Australia and Australian Jews. Albanese's pet Commissioner is OK with that.

She is 75 years old, by the way. Even judges have to retire at 70.

Of course Albanese and the MSM lie about immigration; lying is their modus operandi.

Australians are being “sledged” because their apathy and ignorance invites it.

Unless Australian voters start taking an interest in politics, remember or learn that democracy is for the people and by the people, they will always have to take crap from the dictators they keep electing.

Ttbn:

Who actually is an Australian, is the correct question in response to your frustration with the voters?

Historically, Australian culture was shaped predominantly by the British colonial settlement and its Anglo-Celtic institutions, traditions, language, and legal system. Over recent decades, however, Australia has become far more ethnically and culturally diverse through sustained immigration.

Governments frequently refer to everyone who holds Australian citizenship or permanent residence as “Australians.” That is a legal and civic definition. #Whether it also reflects a shared cultural identity is a different question, and one that many believe deserves more open discussion#.

The growth of parties such as One Nation has been driven, in part, by voters who feel that Australia’s traditional cultural identity is being weakened and that the major parties have ignored or dismissed their concerns about immigration, national identity, and social cohesion.

Whether one agrees with that view or not, it reflects a genuine political sentiment among a segment of the electorate. Dismissing those concerns as prejudice rather than engaging with them has arguably contributed to increasing political polarization.

The challenge for Australia is to decide whether national identity is primarily a legal status, a shared civic commitment, a cultural inheritance, or some combination of these. That debate should be conducted honestly

Not "frustration". Contempt and a complete lack of sympathy for the whingers who are getting what they voted for.

In the latest Ipsos poll, the cost of living is the standout issue at 65% with Australians, followed by Housing 42%, The Economy 26%, Immigration 24%, Crime 23&.

Polling also shows that the ALP remains the party seen as most capable of managing the leading issues, including Cost of Living, Housing, the Economy, Crime, and Healthcare. The claim by the political extreme in society that immigration is the number one issue, is not true. Australia has under both Labor and Coalition governments managed a controlled immigration policy, with 70% of migrants being granted entry under the skilled migration program.

Did you even check the article and citations Paul or just look in the mirror like Mean Albo?

It is referenced that voters-who-aren't-Paul want much lower migration. It's referenced that Albo immigration is much higher than ever before, and much much higher than comparable nations. Hardly "controlled migration".

It is quite true that 70% of Permanent Migration visas are Skill Stream. But only about half of these - about 60K - are principals not family, and relatively few of these are in high paid occupations in strong demand. When you compare this to Net Migration of 300K, it's a joke, about 10%. The biggest slice of our net migration is Students, not Skill Stream

As for skills, an Indian doctor driving a taxi in Australia earns twice what he would as an average doctor in India. It can take over two years for him to meet requirements to practice medicine in Australia.

Skilled migration is bollocks, to put it mildly. Just because migrants can satisfy the skills requirements to get into the country doesn't mean that they are going to use their skills here.

Any old job, plus the benefits when they achieve citizenship, is far better in Australia than in India. They can live much better, and even send money back to the family at home: which is much cheaper than getting them out here.
