Immigration: An Example Australia Should Heed

Unlike Labor (and the other diminishing mob) in Australia, Keir Starmer, UK's Labour PM is either starting to listen to the electorate or he has developed a brain - again unlike the Australian thick-as-mince leaders - and seen what a mess mass immigration and multiculturalism has made of Britain.

“We risk becoming an island of strangers”, says Starmer of the UK.

A white paper has been published indicating that care workers could no longer be recruited from overseas; migrants would have to wait 10 years to apply for settlement instead of the current 5 years; adult dependents would need to have basic English skills, and a tax on universities earning income from foreign students could also be introduced.

Rather than rabbiting on about the economic “benefits” of immigration, Starmer says that mass immigration has done “incalculable damage” to his country's economy.

He has received opposition even from within his own party, but unlike our pansies, he is prepared to say what he thinks is best for the country, not himself and the self-serving vote scrabblers just wanting to get elected.

Further to his apparent ability to learn and change, Starmer is also thinking about introducing a version of the Rwandan-style plan for illegal arrivals that he criticised the Tories for when they wanted to introduce it. He might know how to get around the non-elected activist judges, aloof from the realities of life, who interfered with democracy last time.

Starmer’s ideas are quite novel among career politicians, particularly in Australia, where we take in more immigrants per capita than any other country, including the UK.

Starter might be getting the right idea but there's no hope Albo & Co will give up their voter base for the sake of this Nation ! If they were capable of seeing where their policies are leading Australia they'd put a stop to it all yesterday !
Like so many in other Western Nations, Australia's Woke & leftists too have no concept of foresight ! To them history is something to be reinvented rather than to learn from.

A common complaint that many make is that some cities in Britain are
becoming very similar to Middle Eastern cities.
Eventually the whole country will be a cold Palestine.

We know what the UK has become through unwise immigration. We know why even a left-wing PM is now concerned about it.

The question is, will Australia wait until things are as bad as they are in the UK, or will we learn from others' obvious mistakes.

My guess is no. Australia has become very peculiar place, where the political class, and some of the people, think that we are "different", and that the same unwise immigration policies and "diversity" won't have the same effects on us as they clearly have on other Western countries soon to be Third World countries because they have imported Third World cultures, unesessarily and stupidly.

Immediate post WW2 migrants came here to find a new & better life as Australians. Immediate post Whitlam migrants came here to find an easy life & to conform Australians to suit these pretend multiculturals which resulted in the symbiosis being forced to support welfare parasitism.

The problem in Germany is similar to France and the UK.
It has caused the emergence of a new party which has grown.
It is the Alternative for Germany.
They are now the largest party but are still a minority.
Their plan is to deport all the illegal immigrants including
those "invited" by PM Mercele.
Can we be so silly as to follow those European countries
about to go through that painful operation ?
Why has it happened, even today another example from the US.
It has become just too much for the average Joe Blow.
