The racists must be mumbling "Racist" in their sleep ! I wonder if Mum & dad Racist are singing lullabies with the lyrics Racist, racist Racist to their babies ? It must be the very first English word they utter !

Hi AC,

I'm surprised that only 66% of the population would oppose any kind of uncontrolled migration. If the question was put as; "Do you oppose migration to Australia per se?" Then the result would be different with a very high percentage saying "No" (they agree with migration). No one is realistically arguing for an increase in numbers, given the post COVID boost that took place.

The use of the word "racist" is legitimate when applied to those who stereotype whole groups of people, simply because they are different to themselves, racially and/or culturally, its inescapable that you'll be labelled "racist" if that's what you do. Got one old racists on here who vilifies migrants at every opportunity, but then tell us he gave some black fella 3 serves of Xmas pudding, as if that makes his systemic racism all okay.

The actual question asked in the poll was....
"Thinking about overall immigration to Australia, do you think we need:
Big decrease in immigration
Small decrease in immigration
Immigration to stay the same
Small increase in immigration
Big increase in immigration"

Nothing to do with race. But the usual dills, whose only real ability is realising when they're on a hiding to nothing, always reach for their all purpose nonsensical counter argument...oh its racist/homophobia/transphobia/ islamophobia/ misogynist. And so forth. they love it because it absolves them of any need for actual thinking.

Its amazing what One Nation have been able to achieve here without holding any real power to speak of. They've been able to change the entire national conversation on immigration such that ALL major parties and their stumbling leaders are tripping over themselves and each other to pretend they are tough on immigration. None of this would have happened without One Nation. Instead they would have relied on the same tools as the tools here and called anyone opposed to continued mass immigration policies, racist. But you can't call 2/3rd of the population racist and hope to get elected.

So they're all running for cover and trying to be more Pauline than Pauline.

Yes, but you do it too.

When the left and right stand in their cow paddock and throw cow dung at each other it's kind of depressing.
But to watch two conservative parties throw cow dung at each other is at least a little amusing I have to admit.

I probably can't even make the cow dung throwing comparison without being accused of hurting some Indians feelings about Diwali because their deity was born in a pile of it.

Doesn't matter what you do mhaze, if you hold any kind of position on anything, someone's going to accuse you of something.

Some suburbs have become one community only on a racist basis.
I won't say it but you know who I mean.
The reason is their religion forbids selling land to those of other
religions. The effect over a surprising few years becomes racist
whichever way you look at it.

"Doesn't matter what you do mhaze, if you hold any kind of position on anything, someone's going to accuse you of something."

Personally, I want someone to challenge my views so that I can test them, But I want the challenge to be based on an alternate angle or some new facts or some new interpretation of old facts. Just reverting to name calling doesn't fit the bill. Yet for so many, shouting racist is the full extent of their thinking ... and its sad.
