‘You’re a racist’ remains Albo’s No 1 alibi for the endless immigration/housing pain

TAPRI's Katharine Betts has a useful take on this. Sure, there's an "influential growth lobby" of industry, developers, universities, supported by Treasury. She also identifies an overlapping group of recent origin: self-appointed "guardians" against racism.

These near-20% of her voter sample tend to be younger, better educated, financially secure Labor-Greens voters worried (of course) about climate change. They're the ones most insistent, that voters querying mass-migration are "racist".

Their stance is "moral" not material. What humbug, exacerbating the housing pain for everyone including themselves, whilst spreading shame and censure.

They exert a disproportionate effect on the other 80%, muting public expression. Playing on such fears, a glass-jawed government and allies brought out the heavy artillery, to neutralise MfA with fake outrage.

What's March for Australia?

It seemed problematic, MfA didn't identify themselves, or who was bankrolling them. It was said, one backer was the scion of a Perth real-estate conglomerate. State-ABC went much further.

Ventured MfA, "our streets have seen growing displays of anti-Australian hatred, foreign conflicts, and disintegrating trust."

Their key points were: 80% want lower migration, we're being ignored, identity is weakened, it's time to act.

They issued flyers for each city. Saying: big business wants endless migration, there are many valid objections, the majority is with us, Labor/Liberals are a uni-party. Also, we've had more Indians in five years than Greeks and Italians in 100.

The last statement triggered loudest howls of identitarian indignation. But Australians never signed up for Albanese installing yet another large diaspora - neither should any "democratic" electorate ever be forced to.

The outrage should be vented on Albanese himself, signing racially discriminatory qualifications and immigration deals with sectarian Modi India.

Just on August 31, I read several misleading media-reports, of the Canberra March I'd attended. We were four figures not 100s, it was peaceful, police behaved decently. It was the counter-protesters who (literally) sprayed hate at us.
