ABS updated its immigration figures on 12/2/26.

Net permanent arrivals for 2025 : 480,520. Up 7% on the previous highest- on-record in 1923.

The government's “half-hearted” amendments to visa rules have not affected the number of people coming here and intending to stay, according to the IPA's Dr. Kevin You.

The number of migrants in Australia is growing, and “growing fast”.

As Dr. You says, immigration should be planned, “have the consent of the community, and be targeted towards areas of economic need”.

This is obviously not occurring under the Albanese regime, nor the Coalition, which has no immigration policy, and was a big importer of people when in power.

Net migration is now returning to pre-covid levels. The facts supplied by the ABS are during covid March 21 net migration was -94K, immediately post covid net migration surged to 555K September 23, since then net migration has been in decline, down to 305K June 25, which is in line with the 4 years pre-covid average, with net migration at around 250K per year.

Paul,

I rely on professional researchers whom I name. Your response is just an unsubstantiated statement.

I don't generally respond to your idiotic rants, but your misinformation needs to be revealed to anyone who still takes notice.

Mass immigration is not always good for some immigrants either. And being anti-immigration doesn't necessarily mean that immigrants themselves are being blamed. I speak for nobody but myself, and blame, utterly, the Australian political class.

Ever since 60,000 ‘kanakas’ were imported to work in sugar and cotton fields in Queensland, there has been a “vast underclass” of people in Australia following their immigration, largely from non-English speaking countries. (Birrell, Betts and Healy. (The Australian Population Research Institute).

After an influx of 1.2 million people since 2022, about “10 per cent of Australia's population is again in an economically highly disadvantaged position”. (Economist Adam Creighton, Institute of Public Affairs, 13/2/26).

On the other hand, Australians have suffered urban congestion, competition for services and ethnic transformation. (Birrell)

The only party with a immigration policy is One Nation.

80% of Australians want lower immigration, and 50% want it to be ‘much’ lower. No figures for those who want zero immigration, of course.

In his article, Creighton repeats that the ABS, not Paul 1405, has advised that immigration has increased to 480,520, the HIGHEST SUCH calendar figure ON RECORD.

After the gobbledygook about “net overseas immigration” and the “mere” 305,000 arrivals to September last year, comes the fact that the immigration level is 3 times that of the 1990s.

No wonder the left is baulking at the term “mass immigration”. How long before they try to ban it!

If the political plonkers don't start listening, things are going to get pretty ugly.

Finally, from Bob Birrell and the APRI, of all immigrants who came to live in Australia between 1951 and 2021, only HALF of them obtained citizenship; and since then the share of those obtaining citizenship has “contracted sharply”.

ttbn,

ABS stands for Australian Bureau of Statistics. that is where my data comes from, yours on the other hand comes from a Dr You employed by the Institute of Public Affairs.

The Institute of Public Affairs (IPA) is a Melbourne-based, right-wing, and conservative think tank, widely recognized for advocating free-market policies and often opposing climate science, environmental regulation, and left-leaning political movements, frequently supporting the Liberal Party.

And you call the Australian Bureau of Statistics data, "unsubstantiated"! Where do you think your Dr You got his information from. Now whose the Wally here.

Net permanent arrivals for the year to June 2025 568,370, but what you fail to mention is the 262,800 (June 2025) migrants who departed, plus the natural increase from births over deaths, of 114,600 giving an overall population increase of 420,600 or 1.5%.

The only ranter on this forum is YOU, with your hatred and racism. Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it, Australia has a large population of parasitic old farts, but they are falling off the perch rapidly, or they are in taxpayer funded homes!

Paul1405,
Is that the game you're facilitating in your role as a bureaudroid ? Are you in Immigration ?
Is this kind of invasion agreeable to you ?

Paul

I don't doubt the ABS. I doubt your ability to find and interpret data. Nevertheless, you are entitled to make stupid comments and deem people you don't like to be 'haters' and 'racists', as much they are entitled decide that you are a nasty piece of work, with very little between your ears.

ttbn,

Seems YOU haven't woken up yet that your Dr You got his data from the ABS. If YOU want to dispute my date, parts that Dr You purposely left out, also from the ABS, then point to what YOU disagree with.

When I said ABS I should have explained ABS stands for Australian Bureau of Statistics, something in your ignorance you weren't aware of.

After saying my post was an "idiotic rant", you get all petulant when I said you are hateful and racist, you posting over the years on this forum testify to that fact.

Sounds like the government is desperately trying to replace Anglo-Celtic Australian's before the Anglo-Celtics stop the government's authoritarian racist genocide. Marxism isn't good for any culture. I hope the Anglo-Celtics succeed in time. It seems that the only ones able to stop Marxist Academic Authoritarianism are the Westerners and Europeans, they are the great hero's that bring freedom to all cultures in their sandboxes. Western meritocracy benefits everyone, when a small proportion of success goes back to the community, don't kill the duck that lays the golden eggs.

Kudos KId,

More of your conspiracy theories, the killing off of your so called Anglo-Celtic culture in Australia. All your delusional crap about Marxist Academic Authoritarianism, you are totally fixated with reds under the beds, so it would seem. Do you believe Albo and the gang sit around plotting how to kill more of that precious Anglo-Celtic nonsense you bang on about, its just not happening, other than in your mind of delusion.

CM,

Yes. It's not just idle talk that authoritarian governments seek to replace a population that they are losing control of - after the bribes stop working, and even the terminally thick ones wake up that their standard of living is still dropping.

At the very least, the politicians benefit from the divide and conquer machinations of multiculturalism and putting people on the streets who look quite ridiculous in an Anglo-Celtic country.

We need look no further than TV ads to see the one-of-everything in them; often without a single white person. It's a big part of the softening up provided by corporate mates of government: the ones who want mass immigration to boost their wealth, and pay lower wages to immigrants who can't complain because they don't speak English, and at least half of them will never become citizens.

In the UK, the country responsible for Australia's existence, the Leading Lunatic there has deemed the beautiful English countryside - an escape from the heaving multicultural and increasingly Muslim big cities - is “too white”. He wants to wreck it for the genuine Brits living there. It's only a matter of time before some maniac here decides to force all sorts of breeds on our country towns.

On a personal note, I got a chortle supplied by Nitwit 1405 above: so ignorant that he thinks I wouldn't know what ABS stands for. We need some new blood here. Fewer and fewer of the older posters put up topics for discussion because of arseholes and ignoramuses like 1405 and John Daysh. And I'm sure anyone new would be put off by them. Now, if either of them could be replaced by immigrants, that wouldn't do bad.

Still on immigration, but particularly the sort that has brought their ancient hatreds here and have fired up weak-headed locals like Grace Tame, I just watched a clip of said person trying to defend her disgraceful call for intifada by trying to change the meaning of the word. That's one of the weapons the extreme-Left uses: repeat misuse of language until the unaware non-thinkers come to believe the 'new' translation.

The Australian Ignoramus of the Year, also referred to the "peaceful" demonstration at which she shrieked her antisemitic hatred. The rioting, as police actually carried out the rightful duties for the first time, was anything but peaceful.

Still, Albanese would not condemn this nasty young woman in Parliament when asked to do so. He just rambled about "turning the temperature down". Annoying of course: but I suppose having loud mouthed lunatics taking our attention off the real culprit for everything that is wrong in Australia - Albanese himself - suits him just fine.

It gets worse, am I the only one that noticed the con being played on
the NSW Police when they were moving a crowd of protests on ?
A couple in obvious moslem dress sat down and started "praying".
The cops then pulled them up and pushed them away.
On que, an imman protested that this was disruption of a prayer session.
Oh dear oh dear everyone apologies and even our dopey PM fell for it.
Now the precedent has been set and we can expect to see a copy of the
blockage of major roads that occur in Europe. Not just two or three
blocking the road but hundreds.
Just looking at the video you can see what a sham it was.

Just looking at the video you can see what a sham it was.
Buzz,
Many of us predicted that for decades but the Westminster system is in their favour not ours & Albo & Co will exploit it all again to our detriment at the next election. I'm dismayed when the silly ones tell me that despite what's going on they'll vote Labor again.
Have you noticed how our resident Racism bleaters & Dark Ages Religion supporters are in stumm mode on this subject ? They're hell-bent on keeping the corruption Bandwagon rolling !
Not enough decent folk to service its brakes.

No Bazz. You aren't the only one, but you could be in a minority. People these days have their heads in the sand because they are apathetic or frightened.

I saw an Arab being interviewed a couple of days ago - in his own country, not here - telling the interviewer that the Muslims would NOT get away with what they do here in the countries they came from.

Flopping down in streets to pray would see them removed in two pieces: head and body.

You mention ‘precedent’. I like the precedent set by the police - arrest and charge as they should have been doing all along. The days of do-as-you-like on Australian streets are over.

It looks as if we might now be able to rely on the police to do their jobs, even if governments won't do their jobs.

I was interested in these claims of their ethnicity by the usual suspects on the forum calling themselves Anglo-Saxon, Anglo-Celtic. I looked it up;

"Celts were the indigenous, Brythonic-speaking inhabitants of Britain and Ireland, while Anglo-Saxons were 5th-century Germanic settlers (Angles, Saxons, Jutes) who invaded and settled in southeastern Britain after the Roman withdrawal, displacing the Celtic population into western/northern regions (Wales, Scotland, Cornwall). The Anglo-Saxons established kingdoms, bringing Old English, while the Celts largely maintained their languages and Christian traditions."

Do they still exist today? Anglo-Saxons and Celts exist today primarily as genetic, linguistic, and cultural legacies rather than distinct, separate populations.

Well, your clams to being Anglo-Saxon-Celtic people are not true, I don't know what you are, other than Indy who was abandoned by a wandering tribe of Gypsies as a child , and jumped on a ship for a free passage to Australia. What do you other sorry souls have to say for yourselves? Who are you? Are you just a tribe of Gubbas as the Aboriginals said you were?

Good point Paul it has worked fairly well. The Irish troubles are over
and that will be last of it as it is now a matter of survival against
a really weird mob.
Why cannot what happened in the UK & Ireland happen in the ME ?
It is because in their religion Allah says to kill the unbelievers.
To do or say anything else is blasphemy.
The penalty for that is DEATH !

Bezza,

If as you claim; "in their religion (Islam) Allah says to kill the unbelievers." Muslims have no cause to kill Jews or Christians, as they are believers in the same God/Yahweh/Allah, among the many other names given to "God", all three have a belief in a common supernatural being flying around up there in the Cosmos somewhere.

I take what you say on the Islamic religion with a grain of salt, as I don't believe you are really knowable on the subject. What amount of study on religion(s), partially Islam have you actually done? My Turkish Muslim friend has disputed that very claim of yours in the past with me, saying like Biblical interpretation, the Koran can say whatever you want it to say.

Well Paul, I am no expert, not even a casual student of the Koran
but verse 9:29 says to kill Jews and Christians if they reject Islam
or refuse to pay the Jizya Tax.

That is why so many peoples around the world became moslems. High Taxes
remind you of anyone ?

Bezza,

As I said these things contained in "holy books" are wide open to interpretation and context. I'm not a great fan of any of the three monotheistic religions, with much of what they preach/teach, which can be taken to extreme. God as we know him/her/it has been open to interpretation for 2000 years. The Christian God was once someone to be feared, who was always at the ready to exact vengeance and punishment on transgressors, which justified the war and killing taking place at the time. Today however, the Christian God has morphed into a forgiving and benevolent being opposed generally to war and killing. As recently as the 20th century most Christians in time of war believed God was on their side, and they would pray for God to help them win those wars, and that was a widely held belief, on both sides. The Muslims and Jews are much the same, the extreme will always be extreme in their interpretation of scripture, and the moderates will remain moderate.

I just read a reference to the UK's apparent start in ‘shaking off’ political correctness in relation to public reactions, as the nation “buckles under the pressure of immigration from non-Western countries”.

Australia is certainly ‘buckling’ under the pressure put on it by multicultural maniacs. We are being ‘colonised’ by immigrants’ with the assistance of the political class, supported by the nutters shouting about colonising over two centuries ago, but they quite happy with the new, self-inflicted new colonisation.

Most Australians, sadly, are either too apathetic to react like the Brits - who actually have fewer immigrants per capita than we do - or they actually think its a good idea to trash our "hateful" society.

A combination of apathy and self-hatred has turned Australian society into a a very poor joke. And it's going to get worse.

As I said, things are going to get worse until the truth eventually wins out, as it usually does. Unfortunately, it will be too late by then; certainly for Western civilisation, which won't be the first civilisation to die out, for pretty much the same self-inflicted reasons all the rest died.

The Liberal Party is a micro example of contemporary self-destruction. The party went from what they proudly called the “party of government” to a rump. There is no guarantee that it will survive.

Net migration is now returning to pre-covid levels.
Paul1405,
There flies another flock of pink elephants !

Yes Paul, the bible and others except the Koran have been open to
reinterpretation for much more than 2000 years.
The Koran of course has only been around for 1400 years and publishing
your interpretation of it can get you killed.
I noticed the new leader was being quizzed about immigration and how
the numbers will be managed.
He obviously did not want to commit just now.
The majority know what to say but everyone is too timid.
We will have to get over this soon or we will be run over.

Bezza,

The Liberal Party should have had an immigration policy very soon after Labor was re-elected. Dutton, who turned from tough immigration minister to a real milquetoast offered a very small decrease that would not have earned a single vote from conservatives or anyone else seriously concerned by mass immigration.

Don't forget that Howard was a Big Australia man. He certainly decided that there would be no illegal immigrants, but he sure made up for it by bringing them in legally.

Nobody seems very excited about Angus Taylor. He was there all the time the Liberals were in opposition, bleating about 'holding the Albanese government to account' when the should have been smashing the Albanese government. That's the problem with the uniparty: there's very little difference between being in government and being in opposition. The Liberals have done buggerall opposing - even got together with Labor on crushing freedom of speech. And nothing Mr. Taylor has done since he entered politics indicates that the Liberal Party will be of much use to us.

The only party with a clear immigration policy is One Nation.

Bezza,

No official policy yet, but I have just caught part of speech in which Angus Taylor said what he wants for immigration:

. Australian interest its only purpose
. Australia values at its heart
. Door shut to anyone not subscribing to Australian beliefs
. Door shut to people wanting to bring hatred and violence from another country.

He didn't say anything about the necessity to slash numbers; dismantle multiculturalism that encourages immigrant enclaves, nor how he plans to straighten out, or rid the party, of leftist wets.

How he intends to smarten the screening of potential immigrants would be good too.

Another Israel firster,
- Another traitor.

These feel good motherhood statements are great, but how are they achieved, and how do you rate a new arrivals "Australianess"?

All well and good, flag, anthem, values, ANZAC Day, Ned Kelly, meat pies, kangaroos etc etc. As for immigration Australia is 85,000 short of trades and professional people right now. As we have learnt in the past PAULINE HANSON and her ONE NATION are great on populism but way short on substance. But this appeals to old farts and other non thinkers.

One way to increase home building and reduce immigration rates would be
to stop all migration except for those in the building trades and their
families and returning Australians who had taken out other nationalities.
Crash TAFE courses for plumbers and elecricians in regulations needed to
enable licences to be issued.
Some special cases might be needed. eg specialist doctors etc.
All that would have a dramatic effect.
A special team to examine special cases would be needed.

Bezza,

Yes. Stop all immigration while the current system is thoroughly investigated.

Apart from the burden on housing, infrastructure and Australian culture, and the violence it has brought here, current mass immigration hasn't made any difference to the 370,000 jobs that employers cannot fill.

This pair are totally clueless when it comes to immigration, all thought bubbles like "Crash TAFE courses for plumbers and electricians" Yeah, teach one block how to turn off a tap, and another bloke how to switch on a light. Australia faces a severe, growing trade apprenticeship shortage, with estimates suggesting a need for over 100,000 extra workers by 2029, despite the 280,000 skilled migrant and their families who arrived over the past 2 years. The reality is, few young people want to take up trade apprenticeships despite government incentives.

"A special team to examine special cases would be needed." I assume to find the special people, to do the special jobs. Thanks Reg, another committee meeting is in order.

"Yes. Stop all immigration while the current system is thoroughly investigated." By whom and for what may I ask, old farts and the Lovely Pauline, report back in 5 years time. I know you guys are part of the 3 ring circus that is the hard right of politics in Australia, but you both don't have to be clowns!

An important part of any enquiry into immigration should include Islamic child-abuse in Australia. 14 female children were subjected to forced marriage here in 2024-25. (Daily Telegraph). At least they were the ones reported to the Department of Communities child protection unit.

There have been 117 ‘reported’ forced child marriages since 2018.

There are claims of many backyard marriages by imams.

Children are sent overseas and come back with a husband.

One “Brother” Abu Ahmad is calling for sharia law to be “established” in Australia. He feels that Muslims are “dishonoured” by the lack of sharia in Australia

Well Paul, I guess we can forgive you for your ignorance on things
electrical.
Anyone doing electrical work in most states needs to hold an
electricians licence.
They do not hand them out on Weetbix packets, you have to prove
knowledge of the Electrical Installation Rules.
Note in a lot of countries the earth wire is a different colour than it is here.
A simple case but near certainly fatal if a mistake is made.
That is a very simple example but in large elecrical installations there
are rules that are not followed can cause disconnection of supply.
Not familiar with plumbing rules but I know that some relate to community health.
So Paul don't just use your ignorance for political ends.

The Liberals say that they will ban immigrants from 13 countries, including Egypt, Palestine (not really a country) and the Philippines.

Also excluded could be: Afghanistan, Algeria, Cameroon, Lebanon, Lybia, Mali, Nigeria, Niger, Somalia and Yemen.

This was mooted before the leadership spill. Angus Taylor claims that he hadn't seen the details. What a mess they were - and still might be.

Taylor wants a larger role for intelligence agencies in the screening of immigrants.

The National Party approves.

Bezza,

A shortage of trades people and it was you who was the one talking about "crash courses". They do not hand them tout on Weetbix packets, so how do you fill the shortage of tradespeople with these crash courses? You probably know as much about immigration as you do about Islam, absolutely nothing!

Oh Dear Paul,
I will try and explain in simple text.
The Crash course would be for already experienced tradespeople.
In the electrical Tafe they would be instructed on the differences in
the systems in their country of origin and all the rules and regulations
that apply here. When completing the course and examined they could
be issued with an electrician licence.
Until they have the licence they can only work under supervision.
By supervision I don't mean someone looking over their shoulder but
they cannot submit a Ready to Test form" until their employer inspects
the work, signs and lodges the Ready for Test form.
Then the supply authority comes and tests the site for compliance.
This applies for new installations such as new houses.
In some countries there are people how say they are electricians but
are not really qualified and have marginal knowledge.

paul, I should have added that there have been some significant changes
where solar systems are involved and in some countries they may not have
seen some of these requiements, eg location of isolation switches.

Bezza,

"The crash course would be for already experienced tradespeople.
In the electrical Tafe they would be instructed on the differences in
the systems in their country of origin and all the rules and regulations
that apply here. When completing the course and examined they could
be issued with an electrician licence."

That is why Australia is already very particular about the overseas qualifications we recognise. In the trades and elsewhere, NZ qualifications are well regarded, others not. The problem is a shortage of foreign applicants, along with a lack of local people taking on apprenticeships. Now we have a One Nation jackass on the forum calling for a total ban on immigration. This distorted stereotype view that every migrant to Australia is some half starved refugee from Bangladesh is not true. People like ttbn need a reality check as to what is what in the real world. They need to stop being sucked in by the Hanson type popularism with its bigotry and hatred for people not like themselves.

Well as someone at a talk on reneable energy said;
What About OHM's LAW ?

It has been suggested that school children sing the national anthem once a week.

When I was at primary, we assembled to salute the flag, sing the then national anthem, and recite an oath.

The Northern Territory government has, indeed, decided that public schools should sing the Australian anthem at assemblies and special events, in English.

Now apparently, Leftist activists, who teach that national symbols are oppressive, suggest sitting during the anthem (standing has always been the norm) and protest against it on social media.

And that madman in Canberra talks about “social cohesion”, but keeps bringing in more immigrants to teach that Australians hate themselves and their country, and they, the immigrants, are welcome to do the same.

Waving flags and singing anthems is all very nationalistic and regimented. Target the children, is always high on the agenda, get them when they're young and you've got control for life. Then you can create the them and us mentality in people, firing up their hatred. In old age these people can become bitter bigots and racists, and voting for One Nation.

Children are certainly being captured and brain-washed by the ultra Left Albanese Labor and the Greens. They are doing it in “early learning” centres and schools, right up to universities. They are doing it via censorship of social media. They are taking over parenting from the actual parents, who don't have time for the job as they are all out working to save themselves from the economic wreck the Albanese regime, particularly ‘Dim’ Chalmers, has brought down on them.

Up to now, the tired Liberals and their “first female” “leader” have allowed these Stalinists to get away with it.

The only hope of Australia being freed from the Communist China/Russia-like nightmare it is in, is a coalition of a revived Liberal/National coalition, aided by One Nation, against the very worst, ultra-left government ever. Sensible voters must see that the post-Hawke ALP/Green shite show is not fit for government, and never will be.

On the actual subject, it has been revealed that the secretive, non-opposing Sussan Ley train wreck had plans to oust 100,000 foreign visa-overstayers. It was never going to happen of course, but now, combined with the policy of blocking people from 13 countries and, hopefully, Muslims in general, things will change. If we survive the rest of Albanese's term. If Australia voters shake off their death wish.

Albanese believes that “we” have obligations to the ISIS brides, who went off to be with Islamic terrorists, but now want to come back to Australia. These charming ladies have been temporarily stopped due to “technical” reasons.

This nonsense, even after he told the ABC that there would be “no assistance or repatriation”. The man is bonkers.

“Multiple countries”, including the usually weak UK, have stripped ISIS brides of their citizenship to prevent their return.

Not Albo the Stupid, whom Matt Canavan describes as “inconsistent and deceptive”. If the government is not involved, which Albanese sometimes says in amongst his confused rambling, they should not come back here, Canavan rightly says. Who knows what this awful government is exactly involved in! Albanese claims nothing, then starts yapping about “obligations”.

Australia is not safe under the Albanese government.

Quite the rant there ttbn, but whose listening, no one. These women and children, what crime are you accusing them of exactly? Other than marrying these crazy ISIS fighters, otherwise they don't seem to have committed any crimes themselves. Possibly forced into marriage, that may be the extent of their culpability. If they are Australian citizens, then we do have an obligation to issue them with Australian passports.

P/S How much have you kicked in for the Corny Banana campaign, One Nation Senate in SA, he suckered you once, you'd be up for it again, would you not!

Will the rednecks be frothing at the mouth, demanding country bands when the origin of the accused terrorist Liam Alexander Hall are revealed. Me thinks not. One Facebook report claims Hall was born in Britain and migrated to Australia.

Noticed on a Facebook site claiming to be Indigenous orientated/sympatising where someone with a Muslim name is sweet-waffling how Muslims share the values of Aborigines & their plight & how grateful they are for being allowed on their land & sharing their resources.
Just another way of gaining support for Islam.
One poster actually asked which Indigenous "resources" they so gratefully accept but of course, no answer. I'd imagine these "resources being in the form of welfare, housing, health services etc. i.e. non indigenous effort funded.
One of the proponents for this Islamisation strategy doesn't want retired taxpayers to get a pension but as it has been pointed out here before, non-contributing recipients are most welcome to all Taxpayer funded services. Remote communities have become recruiting grounds for Islam. One community has had a Cafe acting as an Immigration facilitator for the past 15 or so years. It's a popular place for Public Servants having their Lattes & cakes served by immigrants of questionable legitimacy.

https://www.facebook.com/watch?v=1606875467012983
The tyranny of majority is what Australia is getting if immigration continuous as uncontrolled as it is now. England & a couple of European countries have it already.

The worst terrorist attack in our part of the world, took place 15th March 2019 when an Australian born Anglo/Celtic terrorist Brenton Tarrant murdered 51 Muslims in Christchurch NZ. Not only do we need to guard against imported radicalised people, we also need to be vigilant for the home grown variety as well.

Indy, you are an import, obviously no screening of you was carried out at the time, otherwise given you extreme raciest views you would not have been allowed into the country. Its not too late to send you packing!

Indyvidual,

Aborigines and Muslims are great mates in jail, because they both hate Australian society, but take advantage of its benefits. Prison is a great place to recruit bad, anti-Western, antisocial and easily-led trash to Islam. The abos would be easily fooled into thinking that Islam cares about them.

Islam here is following ultra-left Green Labor in using aborigines, real, faked and imagined because anyone who objects can be called a ‘racist’ - the tired old form of abuse used by people who don't even know the meaning of the word.

Fortunately, both groups are minorities. Aborigines of the trouble-making sort are useless - can't even run their own lives - and Muslims can be controlled with Taylor type immigration and deportations - if the political class, post Albanese, is serious about serving and protecting Australia.

Paul1405,
I'm a better citizen than you could ever hope to be. Why are you always evading facts ! Not once have you ever come back with a sensible comment let alone any positive suggestions !
Silly anti-white quips is all you ever manage, poor show !

https://www.facebook.com/reel/883654194508354
Paul1405,
Is Pauline right or wrong in your opinion. Only a genuine answer please, no dumb waffle !

A 70 year old fart in Sydney has been charged with sending threatening snail mail to the Lakemba Mosque. In the letters he made violent threats against Muslims, Aboriginals, and some politicians (I bet they weren't from One Nation), should be on this forum. Given the old fart talent, he probably put his return address on the envelope! The big question, is he one of those Anglo-Saxon-Celtic's whose been radicalised down at Gods Waiting Room. Seems this old fart had more than 100 letters ready to post.

Police have charged a Mr Gunther Mosslacher, who identifies as being Jewish, with making making a vexatious call to an emergency service number,000, and one count of use of a carriage service to menace/harass/offend.

I have not tried to delve into Pauline Hanson’s words on the ISIS
brides however;
I can see that many moslems would have no interest in becoming
terrorists or radicals in any way.
However the religion requires that Islam must be dominate and
that war with nonislamic countries is necessary.
If the numbers of moslems was able to bring up a referendum to
replace our democracy and parliament with a caliphate and
Sharia Law I think because of religious demands most moslems would
vote YES !
Iran is a good example, for years they have threatened;
Death to Israel and Death to America !
Why do you think they were building nuclear weapons and very long
range missiles ? Europe first then America.
We might think it is fanciful but Allah will enable it all.

The camps in Syria are being dismantled and the
people in them are being taken to new camps in a
better controlled area.
For the socalled Brides & children, I think they
should be returned.
It maybe these Australian women have learnt their lesson.
I think the situation in the ME camps is untenable
except for short time stay.
As an alternative when they leave Syria they could be
sent to Christmas Island where they could be examined
by experts in Islamic terrorism.
Then a decision on release or prosecution could be made.
­Starting with the youngest children they could be reprogrammed.
The teenage children may need more intense reprogramming but as
happened in the UK on older people it has failed completely.
Putting them into Goulburn Max could make the situation worse
because of the Islamist fanatics incarcerated there.
No easy solution is available but the island as a transition
may be better then just dumping them into an Islamic community.

If they go to Christmas Island than as the name implies its a Christian island and for theses women and children all their Christmases could come at once. BTW why has a remote island in the Indian Ocean got this Christian name, was it a case of another zealot spreading Christianity throughout the world. There is also the very remote Easter island in the Pacific.

Why did Christians when colonising, force the local inhabitants to renounce their "Pagan" religions and take up Christianity on the pain of death. My wife tells me that as a child those who even mentioned the Maori gods would be severely reprimanded. Although a practising Christians, the wife still says a prayer to Tangaroa when boarding an aircraft, a bit of extra insurance. BTW, it is the duty of Christians to spread the "Word" to all nonbelievers, missionaries, why do they keep banging on your door, or accosting people in the street.

Bezza, as someone who admits he knows jack sh!t about Islam, you do like to pontificate on the subject. Yes religious zealots of all descriptions would impose religious law on society, given the chance. Just imagine what Australia would be like if the entire parliament was made up of Jehovah's Witnesses.

Another example of the joys of multicultural mass immigration is Indian-born Race Discrimination Commissioner Giridharan Sivaraman. Not only was he appointed to his job by the Labor government, rubbing it in by deciding to have minority race person making pronouncements on race relations, Sivaraman uses his lucrative position to make personal political statements.

In a discussion on SBS about Australia Day, he said, “When it comes to January 26, it becomes so difficult … you’ve just got to, on January 26, you’ve got to kiss the flag, love the country, otherwise go away.”

He rabbited on with, “We’re all on stolen land and we actually need truth-telling about the history of this land.”

And the real cracker, “Systems and institutions… were built to really privilege colonialism and whiteness.”

It's bad enough that he makes aspersions about the “white people” who granted his family entry to Australia; but he also uses his powerful job to do it.

What an ignorant, ungrateful prick! One we could well do without.

On the matter of bringing back ISIS brides as though we didn't have enough dangerous people here already (thousands of them on an ASIO watch list) Albanese's claim that they have to be issued with passports might be just another one of his lies.

An AFP counter-terrorism expert has revealed a discretionary clause written into the Passport Act of 2005. It allows the government to refuse passport requests to citizens.

The government can refuse passports if it “reasonably suspects” doing so would prejudice the security of Australia or a foreign country or endanger the physical safety of other persons, among other separate criteria.

The government is bound by the rule of law. It would be a terrible situation if without a substantial legal reason the government was to deny an Australian citizen a passport.

"discretionary clause written into the Passport Act of 2005. It allows the government to refuse passport requests to citizens." In the totalitarian police state that this bloke supports, then without reason the minister would deny passports, or detain people entering the country without trial, we already do that.

Paul1405,
So, you have no qualms about the costs of bringing in terrorist associates but you vehemently oppose old age pensioners their dues ?
Tell us please, who has thus far cost the Australian taxpayers more Albo got to power, the pensioners who have already contributed or the thousands of Islam followers who with 90 % likelihood never will contribute.
You seem to have all the figures any other times.

Indy,

Those who contributed in the past, through a non-contributory superannuation scheme, presently 12% should progress to 15%, or invested wisely for their future should not be penalised. The past taxes paid were used to provide at that time the necessary benefits to the taxpayer, and people like yourself. When you arrived in Australia, you received immediate benefit from the taxpayer, correct. The reality is Australia cannot continue to pay aged welfare and support the ever increasing number of elderly non contributors, non productives.

I support sustainability, not simple handouts, everyone should be made to contribute in some way, either as an investor, or if that's not possible, then with some form of labour. When you reached 65 and claimed aged welfare, I think you should have be paid in the form of non financial benefit, in return for a non financial contribution to society, a Seniors National Service would be ideal, what's wrong with that.

Pauline Hanson may be charged after making hateful Islamophobic comments on far right TV.
"Federal police say they have received "reports of a crime" relating to inflammatory comments made by One Nation senator Pauline Hanson about Muslim people. Senator Hanson's comments have been widely condemned by politicians and community leaders as divisive."

The new One Nation guru Barnyard Joy, refused to endorse Hanson's hateful comments.

One of the dangers of these extremist political parties is that people even more extreme than the present dopey leadership, can infiltrate the party, and use it as vehicle to carry out their hateful agenda, assisted of course by the parties useful idiots.

Paul1405,
No doubt these mothers will prove really valuable to the Australian taxpayer !
p.s. Will we ever get to see a post from you with an answer ?

If you read Barnaby's statement he said it better than
Pauline.
This is how I say it;
Within Islam there are clerics that insist on the Koran's
requirements. A large number of Moslems will follow those
requirements come hell or high water.
Perhaps in a discussion like this similes like that should
not be used.
However to make the point when a campaign to introduce
Sharia Law is started the clerics will insist the Moslems
MUST campaign and vote for it.
Pauline's "good moslems" will oppose it.
The reaction will be to accuse them of Apostasy.
The fanatics will consider that to be a death sentence !

The same argument can be extended to a Caliphate.
Some moslems will take up arms to enforce the Caliphate
some will not, the trouble is at this time how do we tell
them apart ?

If you doubt any of this ask Salmon Rushtie
He has been under guard for years and two more attemps on his like for writing a book.

So there is my definition of what are good and what are bad moslems.
Now got that clear censor ?
See you in gaol Pauline, no worries they put men in women's prisons !

I've seen both Hanson's statement and follow-up, and Joyce's. The latter said, rightly enough, he didn't have time to comment on other people's statements every time some reporter looking for a story interrupted him when he was busy. Hanson-haters will, as usual, accept what was said by other Hanson-haters and look no further.

Hanson-supporters who have followed up after the initial 'shock/horror will be OK with the the situation. Those who think otherwise because of their own bias do not count. End of story.

Paul1405,
Take note; Not like your friends of recent eh ?

ttbn, claiming the AFP are left wing and Hanson-haters accepting what is said by other Hanson-haters and looking no further. The day of reckoning is fast approaching for these hateful scumbags who make vile comments about good Muslim citizens. Some on this forum should be careful with their lust for posting Islamophobic comments, the long arm of the law may be out to get you!

From the right wing publication Murdoch's 'Australian';

"Barnaby Joyce has refused to endorse his leader Pauline Hanson's broad criticism of Muslims, in the first sign of division within the new alliance." Pauline Hanson is to obscene for even the radical Barnyard Joy!

In an interview on Sky News on Monday, Senator Hanson said there were, in her words "no good Muslims," What would be the reaction if she had said "no good Jews" or "no good Poms"?

Indy,

You can't even post Facebook links that activate. typical old fart nonsense.

Indyvidual

As I said. The people who have different ideas are entitled to them; but they simply don't matter, and there is no point in arguing with them. Leave them to it.

https://www.facebook.com/reel/776774802136824
How much clear does it have to be presented before our idiot Woke wake up ?

Imagine getting an intelligent unbiased reply from Paul1405 to this ?

Indy,

I take it this bloke is from the Church Of The Paedophiles, aka Catholic Church. BTW He's entitled to his opinion.

Paul1405,
You could actually get help but I suppose you prefer being silly & thanks for proving me right every time !

https://www.facebook.com/reel/4212494735705451
Paul1405,
There ya go, just for you ! Will be interesting if you can comment in a non-racist & intelligent manner !

Interesting Facebook video Indyvidual. Thanks.

Indy,

Pre 1914 really! There were pre-war, and post war problems associated with immigrants all throughout history, all over the world. Firstly indigenous Australians can testify to that, the problems that new arrivals bring with them. In the 1850's there was hostility towards the Chinese on the goldfields. The White Australia policy, kept "undesirables" out. Post war, there was resentment towards Southern Europeans, I recall people says; :"The wogs have got all the houses", and Ten Pound Poms were resented in Australia. More recently people like Hanson claimed Australia was being swamped by Asians, now Muslims.
The bloke on Facebook is simply anti-welfare, and anti immigration. Of course immigration has to be managed correctly, no one wants undesirable people entering their country.

Paul1405,
Is this a situation you envisage & desire for Australia ? It's great news for Muslims ! The average Australian is as blasè as the average Caucasian American & this is the outcome. It's typical of times when people have it too good for too long. The Islamists are laughing all the way ! The real problem will start when they too have too good for too long ! I suppose the Planet can do with a break from stupid humans.

Only stupidity allows such stupidity !

Indy,

You rabbit on about immigrants today, yet you were once an immigrant yourself, some kind of refugee, fleeing the sh!thole that your kind had turned Europe into. Unlike so many immigrants today who are proud of their heritage, not you, who is ashamed of your true identity. From the little you have posted in the past, I believe you were fleeing the Red Army in Eastern Europe, as they hunted down Nazi sympathisers! True?

Paul1405 said "immigrants today who are proud of their heritage"

Comment- But if we are proud of our heritage and want to preserve it, they call us racist. Every culture needs their own nation.

Canem Malum,
So succinctly stated !
Not only is our resident racist as silly as a school kid, he IF he is a "He" that is, expresses more hate speech & hypocrisy on OLO than any other poster.
Sad, he really spoils this Forum.

Thanks Indyvidual. Take care in Queensland

https://www.facebook.com/reel/871590025685178
These are the grandparents of the "Immigrants" coming to Australia lately, mentality & general baggage included !

https://www.facebook.com/reel/926264019953751
Paul1405,
That sounds like your mentality !

Kudos Kid,

Multiculturalism, Multi meaning many, including yours, not some sickening apartheid nonsense you white supremacist support.

Indy,

Enough of these Facebook reels, I don't care about your grandparents, they probably were a bunch of racist or Nazi's. Maybe they were Concrete Jungle Bunnies, as you like to stigmatise people like me as being.

as you like to stigmatise people like me as being.
Paul1405,
How'd I know if you live in a highrise warren or on a farm. Suppose just like you stigmatise old age pensioners, who kept you for years, as welfare bludgers.
You come across as a very jealous type who can't handle normal life & so being silly & nasty & above all very hypocritical is your only way to get through the day. Did the Greens reject you by any chance ?

https://www.facebook.com/reel/1435680284735781
This is what Paul1405 thinks will be his Superannuation !

Paul1405 said "Multiculturalism, Multi meaning many, including yours, not some sickening apartheid nonsense you white supremacist support".

Answer- Multiculturalism is racism.

Kudos Kid,

While you stick to the notion that the white race is superior to all others, you'll never accept the "others" as equal, believing they intend to subvert your superior white race with their inferior race/culture. You bang on about each race having its own separate nation, what about all the inbreeding between races that has already taken place, how do you separate them. In the case of Australia, would you propose that all those claiming Anglo/Saxon/Celtic heritage be returned to their ancestral home? Chinese people who are 3rd or 4th generation Australian, will you ship them off to China? As the Lovely Pauline would say PLEASE EXPLAIN, your grand plan.

Paul1405,
You're confusing multicultural with multiracial & offensive with feigned indignation. Where on Earth did this idiotic White supremacy come from ? The Muslim leadership describe themselves as being the superior culture yet we don't hear cries of Islamic supremacism from the horrible Whites.
Isn't it time people started to focus on merit instead of skin colour ? Provide the names of countries tries that take in as many outsiders as Western Nations. Can you name one ? Africa has more wealth than any other continent or nation yet 90& of "refugees" come from there.
When the colonists left Africa, what did the Africans do to continue the work the Europeans did ? Why are the Chinese so prominent there now ? Don't hear of Chinese Colonialism ! Indians are now the main Roadhouse operators along the Bruce Highway & make up the bulk of Reef Pilots through the GBR yet I don't hear cries of "Indian Colonials" ! Why is that you think ? It's because the horrible White Man waits before making warranted derogatory
unlike you who constantly makes unwarranted derogatory judgement of us. Non-Whites with merit don't bleat racism as you constantly do. Is it because they are better quality persons than you ? Look at yourself & you'll find way more faults there than by looking at us !
I'm absolutely dismayed at the stupidity of many Whites & I join in criticism of their mentality just as I criticise stupidity & lack of integrity in general no matter what ethnic heritage.

Indy,

"Provide the names of countries tries that take in as many outsiders as Western Nations. Can you name one ?" Just for you, how ignorant are you.

As of 2024–2025,
Iran hosts the highest number of refugees in the world, with approximately 3.5 to 3.76 million.
Turkey (approx. 2.9 million).
Pakistan (approx. 1.56 million).
Uganda (approx. 1.76 million).

Paul1405,
Your deceive tactics ain't working. Turkey has the most refugees passing through, Iran has most as it creates its own as well. Germany is the highest number taken in AND remaining there. Uganda also has many transit migrants.
Pakistan ? There are more Pakistanis leaving than what they take in. What you're so conveniently fail to state is that none of the countries in your list keep the refugees, they pass them on to Western Nations because that's where the welfare Dollars & conditions are.
tell us again about Iran in three months & how many have left the country by then heading North-West ! Just to put things in the right perspective, which refugees actually head South-West-South-East ? Australia being the exception of course. The real reason why refugees from islamic countries move to Western Nations is pretty clear to the sober observer.

Wrong Again Indy,

Turkey for example;

Refugees in Turkey often face long-term displacement, with many spending years or even over a decade in camps or in host communities due to the protracted nature of the Syrian conflict. The overall duration of exile for many in Turkey extends for several years.

You have to stop watching far right lunatics, old farts and Catholic you know whats on Facebook.

BTW, How long did you spend in a refugee camp, before they booted you to Australia?

Indy,

Good news, I'm making my way up to CAIRNS in a week or so, I'll pop into your tree as I pass by, I'll give you a shout out, "ORANGUTAN (man of the jungle), are you up there, its your Forum buddy Paul1405, come to chew the fat!" Any tips on how to subdue the locals, I hear you're a wild bunch up that way.

Paul1405,
Don't forget to go for an evening & early morning stroll in Lake St. or Manunda & don't wear your rose-coloured glasses ! Enjoy your sojourn.
