Labor-Liberal has made Big Australia central to economic policy. After COVID froze mass migration, Morrison and Albanese rushed it back, bigger than ever.
The longer it continues, the more dissent is decried. When citizens protested in the streets, government smeared them as "neo nazi" dupes. Government is the dupe, greenlighting large 21st century increases in low-skill poor-fit immigration.
In National University (ANU) propaganda, also for a sensitive Liberal Senator, "mass migration" is incorrect speech. Voters don't buy this media-panic, of Liberals veering far-right. The long-running Australian Election Study voter-poll perceives a nudge left.

It's even suggested so-called "moderate" Liberals merge with Teals. Yeah right, just to make government and opposition more resistant than ever, to the voter majority that craves relief from the immigration/housing crunch.
In this new Resolve poll, two out of three voters want immigration paused, for housing to catch up. Government itself implies such citizens are "racist" or "un-Australian".
Our 2024-25 net-migration tally is released. It's still huge, 306,000. And yet, less than 24 hours after so-called Islamic lions wreaked sectarian slaughter, Albo already had a press-gallery waiver to sidestep the mass migration.
Quarantining his immigration overreach, Albo's up-regulating on antisemitism and guns. Largely, politicians and "stakeholders" welcome this selective framing.
Australia is radical on immigration and net-zero
ABC Boyer Lecturer Justin Wolfers applauds Australia's amazing institutions. Yeah but, they're running UN line at us, on population and climate policy.
If I even utter the immigration-word – that's racist. Linking mass migration and net-zero – not allowed. Turning the other cheek, may I respond, with a mild geography table:

One thing leaps out. How tawdry is the elite and ANU snow-job, that Australia's 21st century immigration-profile is situation pretty-normal.
Comparing with Australia's own recent history, or world powers, or peer nations, our evolved and present immigration rates are bonkers, off the charts.
China, India, Japan are nearly all native-born, with low rates of in-migration and population growth. Modi India, ask Arundhati Roy, can scarcely avoid sectarian violence. There's some in Australia's history, but we didn't have to import this ghastly escalation.
Like, a non-allegiant Indian student-migrant can visa on for 27 years, whilst adding a dangerous son with ASIO form – then an NSW arsenal-ticket – then Philippines militancy-training. Talk about having a lend.
Even under Biden, US population growth never quite topped 1%, now it's crashed. In the EU it's rather less than 0.5%. US, if not California, has ditched net-zero. UK, Canada, NZ, have sharply reversed mass-migration. Isolating Albo, whose radical immigration adds rather more than 1% annually to our population, dwarfing local increase.
The Albo Triennium averaged 424,000 net-migration annual, thrashing Kevin Rudd's 270,000. But immigration's down 40%, fib Tony Burke and Abul Rizvi. Still tracking over 300,000, adjudges same Rizvi. That's a huge uptick, 3-4x the 1945-2005 average.
Rather than Denmark, Germany's the European case-study for us to heed. Here's an industrial powerhouse, with ideological overreaches on immigration and Greens energy policies. Shuttering nuclear and coal-fired energy, their energy-transition was jolted by Ukraine war stifling Russian gas-supplies.
While no advanced nation matches Australia's reckless 45% population growth since 2000, Germany (also UK) still has headlong renewables/emissions targets like ours.
Love those renewables, but penetration past 40% appears to associate with higher not lower electricity prices. As the Asian coal-powers pay lip-service to net-zero, Australia attempts radical renewables-transition and emissions-reduction. In Treasury cult, our deindustrialised nation can leapfrog to "energy superpower" in "post carbon" world.
Here's Australia's chief Energy Market Operator, recommending the "least cost" pathway to 2050, that of renewables "firmed with storage, backed up by gas and connected with upgraded networks". But he also indicates doubling our energy consumption, tripling grid capacity, and expanding wind/solar/storage fivefold.
The driest continent's energy plan seems to mirror the population plan. It's Treasury rules – unsustainable expansion, saddling voters with lavish coststo Budget, high environmental impacts, and collapsing productivity.
The "left" demands Liberals accept Labor mandate and follow climate "science". But net-zero isn't science and wasn't even contested at the 2025 election. Support for it is broad but shallow, seems voters would sooner have affordable energy.
Australia's selfish politicians mock the social contract
US sociologist Musa al-Gharbi toured here this year. Reminding us how the US (other nations) top 20% is more in it for themselves (and top 1%) than for altruism and equality.
Here, our "fair go" extends to Minister Anika Wells doing Marie Antoinette, other Labor Ministers doing ABC-TV, to make sport of struggling voters.
After decades of political-inbreeding, aka party preselection, only a handful of our 227 federal reps openly align with the popular will, for substantially reducing immigration to relieve housing pain (and societal fracture). When Senator Hanson tried once again for a population plebiscite, much milder than Switzerland contemplates, entitled Senators did victory-laps at her (our) expense.
For the duopoly, housing's a "wicked" supply problem. Took many years to develop, takes many more to solve, so sad. Yet NZ and Canada quickly charted improved rental/housing affordability, by not treating immigration as a "wicked" problem. Here too, Victoria has improved affordability, by slashing investment-housing tax-breaks.
With more international-students per capita than anywhere, Albo's sweetheart immigration deals with Modi, Burke's 70 different visa classes, and Home Affairs' studied neglect of visa regulation and policing, Australia tops 300,000 net-migration before you can blink. Gee, if only we had a central government…
Nannied off social media, Australian teens will need Bank of Mum & Dad, to afford a home, or life mortgage more likely. Dwelling prices are 10x median household incomes in Sydney, 6-7x in other capitals. In 2026, housing looks to become even less affordable.
Our landlord-class MHRs and Senators wouldn't care to bust the racket. Even after Bondi, they re-endorse mass migration.
They're inviting more discord and violence. More voters (politicians) will shift to much-vilified Hanson-Joyce, whose party urgesimmigration-regulation and low-migration.
