Something for One Nation - the only party with an immigration policy - to think about.

UK's Reform Party leader Nigel Farage has said that, not only will his party deport illegal immigrants, they will housed in ‘removal centres’ in areas that voted for the Greens and open borders.

Here, very few people vote for the Greens, but there are oodles of Labor and Teal seats in which to detain Australia's illegals (70-100,000 of them) and the scum who don't share our values. Tony Burke's electorate for starters.

A bit nasty you might think; but why shouldn't electorates that vote for idiotic policies not be the ones to bear the “lion's share of the problems they cause”?

Idiotic nonsense!

Australia is not Britain, the majority of people in Australia illegally (unlawful non-citizens) arrive by plane (over 90%) with valid visas and subsequently become illegal by overstaying their visas or breaching visa conditions, for example working illegally on a tourist visa. While boat arrivals often receive high political focus, they represent a small minority of unauthorised arrivals, with the vast majority of "overstayers" arriving legally by air.

"the scum who don't share our values." Do we need some kind of AVP Australian Values Police, tasked with locking up anyone who prefers a kebab to a meat pie!

"Here, very few people vote for the Greens"

At the 2025 federal election The Greens received 1,889,977 votes (12.2%) The wack job party One Nation, received about half as many votes 991,814 (6.4%).

Hi Paul
I actually agree with ttbn's argument in this instance.
Electorates more supportive of immigrants should accomodate them themselves.

I don't think it's fair that a pro-immigrant electorate vote for more immigration, and that an electorate opposed to immigration should shoulder the burden of them.

Hi AC,

Not sure how that would work. People don't vote on the one issue, immigration is just one issue. What about skilled migrants, needed in a supposedly anti-immigration electorate? What if the electorate swings the other way next time, do we "deport" a whole cohort from that electorate to another. What if there is not available housing in their new location, do they sleep in the local park? What about those voters in the immigrant electorate, who voted the other way, do they move out? In my street there are several immigrant nationalities, Pom, Kiwi, Indian do they all have to move elsewhere if the electorate changes hands in a couple of years time? What about those electorates perceived as say, "strong on crime", do we close down prisons elsewhere and build a new prison there, maybe relocate in 4 years time, back to where it was.

Thought bubbles are great, but they often burst when exposed to the light of day. The idea sounds populist, and the likes of One Nation is a populist party, with very little substance to support it.

It's a shame that so much of the English language is misunderstood by so many people, or is just parroted as something people have heard their favourite commissars misuse, deliberately or ignorantly.

If you don't have ‘populism’ you are ruled by elites and ‘intellectuals’.

Heaven forbid that the masses should stymie, with their populism, the power of the elites who have been elected to serve them!
