Big Business, Big Unions and Big Government in Australia all agree on a Big Australia. Big Business has joined forces with the ACTU to call on government to maintain current levels of immigration! The “ethnic lobby” has also put in its oar for continuing mass immigration.

What is obvious about these un-elected, un-representative, self-interested groups is that they are arrogantly ignoring the wishes of the large majority of Australians. The Australian Population Research Institute recently conducted a survey which found that 74% of Australians DO NOT want a Big Australia. Reasons given were: pressure on schools, hospitals, public transport, roads, affordable housing and the natural environment. Also, most voters were worried about the consequences of gr owing ethnic diversity.

The spread of the no-more-people sentiment is interesting for its relatively even spread across political spectrum:

Liberal, 73.4%; Nationals, 56.4%; Labor, 69.8%; Greens, 67.8%; One Nation, 93.9%; Other, 79.5%.

As you cast your petty little vote at the next federal election, remember that that vote is worth bugger-all in the face of lobbying and pressure brought to bear against weak, or corrupt, politicians.

Here's a link that discusses some of the issues involved:

I don't know from where you sourced your figures, but they certainly are surprising.

Averaging the seperate figures for the liberals and the nationals, it comes out at 65%, the most agreeable cohorts of immigration.

I think these figures need discussing.

dd,

The figure is 74% across all parties. Perhaps more of the Nationals are looking for cheap farm labour; some communities are already taking in Africans with rural backgrounds.

What do you want to discuss about the figures? I identified their source in my post.

National party figures.

The NP represent areas mostly white Caucasian. So can we conclude that white Caucasians are driving the immigration agenda?

Sorry, dd, but I'm not following you. NP voters would probably be mainly Caucasian (how did race get into it?). So what? Their objection to Big Australia was the LOWEST of all parties. I made particular mention if it; so why would we “... conclude that white Caucasians are driving the immigration agenda”?

It is clear from the survey that those “driving the immigration agenda are”: Big Business, Big Government, Big Unions, and 'ethnic’ organisations
