Hi Paul,
'Australia having a say in Tuvalu's international affairs'
- What does that mean exactly?
"Not all Tuvaluan's are happy with the deal, believing they have given up their sovereignty for not much in return."
- I'm not sure I blame them for thinking that.

'Tuvalu became the 189th member of the United Nations on September 5, 2000. Tuvalu is one of 14 states not recognising the People's Republic of China. The country has played a role in advocating for more ambitious international cooperation on mitigating climate change, given the country's vulnerability to its impacts.
Tuvalu, one of the world's smallest countries, financed its membership at the United Nations with the revenue collected from its top-level domain .tv.'

'As of 2026, Tuvalu continues to officially recognize Taiwan (the Republic of China) rather than the People's Republic of China (PRC), making it one of the few nations to maintain this diplomatic stance.'

- I'm not sure how many of them can speak english well.

Hi AC,

Tuvalu become independent of Britain (Ellice Islands) in 1978, a constitutional monarchy with King Charles III as head of state. Both Tuvalun (Polynesian dialect) and English are the official languages. Judging by the Niueans and Cook Islanders I know, they all speak English.

True, Tuvalu is one of the few countries that recognises Taiwan and not Communist China. I'm sure China would like to change that arrangement, and I think Australia, on the US behalf, doesn't want that to happen. So the; 'Australia having a say in Tuvalu's international affairs'.

P/S, When living in Sydney we had Niuean friends (Niue population about 2,000), liked their national day celebrations, dancing music food etc, they are very religious and hospitable people who like very sweet "cake", met the unofficial Niuean High Commissioner in Australia, very nice man, like the Cook Islands, their affairs are run through NZ, not Australia, so unofficial.

Angus Taylor's idea of fitting immigration to how many houses we have - one immigrant per one house built, or some such nonsense - is daft.

Australia should bring in migrants only in the interests of Australia: not opening up to Third World unskilled people who add nothing to Australia except a bit of income tax, and who add to the burdens on our infrastructure and services.

What we have now is non-assimilating, parallel tribes who don't feel the need to speak understandable English, nor do anything much different from what they did where they came from. Worse, some of them are actually trying to change Australia to something the same as where they came from in the name of Allah. It's their duty!

What is good about Taylor's plan is the removal of certain welfare privileges from non-citizens. Tougher terms for gaining citizenship should also be on the agenda, with a total ban on Muslims, and the deportation of as many of them now here as possible. Unlawful? Pig's ribs. Parliament makes laws, not judges; particularly the sort that tells us that the law can change the scientific and biological facts that men cannot become women.

What is happening now is the undermining of our society - not by immigrants themselves who wouldn't be here without a treacherous political class, but by that political class itself. Liberal, Labor: they are both guilty. They gave up defending our civilisation and our inheritance decades ago, and we allowed them to do so by overlooking their lies and accepting their bribes.

The Australian political class is radically changing our country without our permission. The abominable Albanese budget is the latest proof that politicians rule us: they do not serve us. And they lie like pigs in shite.

Hi ttbn,
"Angus Taylor's idea of fitting immigration to how many houses we have - one immigrant per one house built, or some such nonsense - is daft."

I thought it was an attempt at trying to better manage the problem, but you're right it is a bit daft.

He's accommodating the immigrants but forgot about the Aussies.
If every new house is for an immigrant, what happens if some poor Aussie wants to move out of mum and dads place and get married make a family...

No sorry no housing stock for you!
This house is already taken.
Immigrants only!

As for the rest of your comment.
I understand some of you fears and frustrations.

Deport Muslims.
Theres a million of them now.
How are you going to put that toothpaste back in the tube.
Put a bounty on their heads?
$1000 per Muslim?

Should we put a symbol on all the Muslims doors at night and make them wear a badge and firstly lock them into ghettos, later we could consider work camps and maybe we could find some zyklon B, (to treat their typhoid of course)
Sounds like you have a plan.
A final solution maybe?

- Be careful that you don't become the exact same thing you claim to oppose...
Because then you'll stand for nothing and your opinions meaningless

You think 'ends justifies the means'
Just round em all up and send them back to whatever they came from, no refunds problem solved,
Before our country turns into England / Europe.

How bad is it where you are?

It is many years since I drove up Haldon St Lakemba
but the signs of change were there then.
If you want to see what is coming read this report from Europe;
