Albanese Labor: reshaping the population to its own ends

By Stephen Saunders - posted Monday, 4 May 2026


Just think. Over 2022-26, Albanese is adding "another Adelaide" via net-migration, roughly 1.6m. With two-thirds heading for Sydney/Melbourne, this is unregulated, mega-city engineering, uncharted societal territory. Melbourne lays on a machete amnesty - Sydney hosts sectarian slaughter – still nobody blinks.

Iran war? Suddenly, vaunted renewable-energy net-zero "superpower" Australia craves relief fuel-shipments, yet doggedly persists with all-time immigration shipments.

More so than ever, Albanese Huge Australia should be the big story. However, by consent among elite stakeholders it's taboo, barely reported and scrutinised.

Alone among world powers and peer nations, Albanese insists voters absorb immigration levels topping 1% of existing population annually. This generates three-quarters of our unnecessary population growth.

Albo's disdainful towards an electorate that quite reasonably queries this program. He'd be happier to have a majority favouring mass migration, like him.

He's getting there perhaps, with another five years as PM very likely. This week's ABS propaganda release advises a post-1901 record, 32% of our "diverse" population born overseas, an extraordinary proportion topped only by Middle East oil-autocracies.

Here, the Coalition must contend with "Kos Samaras theory". Claims this pro-Labor pollster, democracy is hostage to the 50 (of 150 in total) most "diverse" (equals highest levels of migrant-origin) federal electorates. Sez Kos, these big city "ethnic" electorates are nearly all held by Labor, and one cannot win office without (gratifying) them.

Rubbing it in is ANU prof Jill Sheppard. Sniffs she, the elite can't be "listening to the median voter" on immigration, who even wants to know what's "happening in their brain".

Albanese's "Australian values" are a top-down open-borders directive. Habitually decrying as racist, the culture and living concerns of ordinary voters.
