Albanese Labor is never going to be that government. It's inconceivable, simply not in their elitist and globalist DNA.
Canada and other prosperous nations prove, doomsayers are wrong, reversing aggressive mass-migration needn't derail the economy. Albo's ersatz 2% economic growth is mostly indiscriminate population growth. Canada is topping 3% despite negative population growth.
Open-borders Labor hates on Australians
Naturally, our eager Global Citizen and UN Security Council wannabe Albo, lied about his open -border intentions, before Election 2022

His incoming Treasurer Chalmers (PhD in Keating from ANU) simply cut-and-pasted Treasurer Frydenberg's 2021 Intergenerational Report (IGR) template . Which was 235,000 annual net-migration, already 2-3 times above historical norms.
Now his Treasury has accidentally-on-purpose blown that figure out of the water, for five Budgets in a row. Yet the unprecedented four-year tally of nearly 1.6 million net-migration is barely remarked in media and academia, nor regarded as a betrayal of voters.
His first Budget granted the Home Affairs Minister an extra $42 million to process "visa backlogs", only for her to turbo-charge the landed temp-visa numbers. She strutted "fixing a broken system" but had her Migration Review ignore the booming immigration intakes. We laughed tearfully, at her claim of halving migration , meaning the opposite
Strident O'Neil had to be replaced by smoother Tony Burke. Who had form, as the nominal Minister (actually, it was Treasury-line) for Julia Gillard's lame 2011 Population Strategy . Which already was "laissez faire" about net-migration, sound familiar?
Under Gillard at least, Burke had kept it civil, the compulsory multicultural "conversation" with voters. He smirked of population "change" not endless growth.
Coming were surges, in Muslim and Indian immigration. These days, it's no more Mr Nice Guy.

Post COVID and into 2026 , voters want much lower migration than Treasury 235,000. In retaliation , Ministers and media like to pillory them as populist, nativist, racist, un-Australian, nazi dupes, fascist, not who we are, far right, un-cohesive, or misinformed. With no qualms from the contented "stakeholders", this ugly trend has crystallised on Albo's watch.
Burke's fake "crackdown" beats up on voters
Burke delayed his immigration-speech by six weeks. Though it wasn't as if, Albo Labor was going to pivot from stakeholders and pay court to voters. That was never on the cards.
As is nowadays the convention, the (weak) immigration measures were leaked to government approved media , for spoon-feeding of voters.
