Albanese Labor: reshaping the population to its own ends

By stakeholders I mean like, politicians, public-service mandarins, state and city elites, industry and developers, economists/planners/demographers, mainstream media, university and union execs, think-tanks and lobby groups.

Endless population growth in our heavily resource-based economy misdirects capital, hollowing out productivity growth and living standards. To question this program (the common people) is economically and ecologically rational. Sure, there's a racist element, but Australia consistently rates as one of the least racist and sexist countries.

If we're so scary racist, how come it's so easy for Labor to impose such world-beating rates of immigration?

In adoring this endless population growth, stakeholders and Open Australians can be portrayed as altruistic or compassionate, but also as irrational and selfish.

In return, Albanese Labor disses voters

April 2023, Home Affairs Minister Clare O'Neil aired Labor's arrogant assertion, that mass migration can sync with "Australian values". Nobody asked Australians.

Fronting ABC Laura Tingle and other tame media, O'Neil claimed she was "fixing a broken system" not "about a bigger program". Yeah right. Quick to follow were her: fake Migration Review, fake migration crackdown, fake halving of immigration, then another fake crackdown, fibbing the "biggest" migration drop in "history".

Cruelly for housing and homelessness, O'Neil got shunted across to Housing and Homelessness. By April 2026 she'd conceded, government was only having a lend about those "1.2 million homes". But who doesn't love bold and ambitious targets?

Also in 2023, came Albanese's evasive concession speech over The Voice. He couldn't say directly, you-all are racists. He left that to Tingle, and his Race Commissioners.

Over 2022-23 (538,000) and again in 2023-24 (429,000), Albo scorched Rudd's towering net-migration record of 300,000. Just catching up for COVID and the visa backlog, you understand? Also, net-migration's not a policy target. But also, I've "cut" migration 40%. This contradictory guff is for stakeholder not voter delectation.

What really got Labor on their high horse was the 2025 Marches for Australia. If you believe Wikipedia/ABC and government, far-right racism was the obvious problem, not the housing and living-standards negatives of overwhelming immigration.

Jibed Albanese himself, possibly there were "good people" among "neo nazi" dupes. He gave his ministers free rein, to bucket the protesters as racist and un-Australian.

Then Bondi, late in 2025. A 27-year non-citizen resident plus his son slaughter 15 Jews, unprecedented sectarian massacre at an iconic site. Nothing to do with immigration eh, as Albanese pivoted to gun-control and antisemitism. Added stakeholder Tingle, religion wasn't a factor either.
