Albanese Labor: reshaping the population to its own ends

By Stephen Saunders - posted Monday, 4 May 2026


March 2026, the One Nation surge of the SA election again found Albanese lecturing not listening:

"There are some [who] want to turn back the clock…and we need to call out those people, and we need to continue to cherish our diversity as a strength."

In my crude paraphrase, you-all are still required to have multicultural mass migration, because you're still racist.

From 1945 to 2005, Albo mate, the annual net-migration "clock" usually chimed something like 90,000. Not your half million, "cutting" towards 300,000.

Shadowing Labor, Angus Taylor's Liberal Party wants to police the "Australian values" of immigrants. Angus mate, to preserve values, just slash the intake.

"Australia Marches" again, against Labor mass migration

The Australian Lobby Group protest of April 26 at Parliament House was styled as "Australia Marches". On a perfect autumn day, only a few hundred citizens fronted. Cops and counter-protesters were virtually absent.

But prominent guest speakers were Nationals' Matt Canavan, One Nation's Pauline Hanson, and Bob Katter. ALG promises a national tour in spring.

Said Canavan, immigration "numbers have got to come way down" while net-zero is "another word for socialism…In just four years, they've taken our standards of living back 15 years."

In a movie-length show punctuated with Aussie rock anthems, other speakers included women, indigenous, and self-described mixed-race. Their theme was quit mass migration, shut the gate. ANZAC patriotism and Christianity were frequent reference points. Quipped one speaker, these days it's the politicians think they're gods.

Radical Albanese is reshaping Australia's population

Sorry marchers, mass migration is non-negotiable, on Albanese's watch. As the electoral majority doesn't warm to it yet, he doesn't warm to them.

Permanent mass migration would be a huge win for Albanese. He's not far off. Post COVID, he and the stakeholders have redefined net-migration of well over 200,000 as being "normal" or long-term average.

Again, the average used to be about 90,000. This supposedly-normal 200,000 had never once been inflicted, before John Howard's departing flourish of 2006-07.
