Pollster Kos Samaras: electoral soothsayer for endless immigration

Taylor's more willing than Sussan Ley (remember her) to push back on mass-migration. Yet also his "Liberals" include prominent immigration-gospellers like Senator McLachlan, journalist Niki Savvaor (remember him) Malcolm Turnbull.

After five budgets, Chalmers "net zero economy" still can't climb out of chronic over-migration, predictably low productivity growth, severe rental and housing un-affordability, stagnant real wages with stubborn bracket-creep, lushly funded private schools, and costlier energy tariffs.

His CGT and gearing changes aren't reallyany big reform Budget. On the left, they want to blame bad-old Murdoch, for unfairly attacking it. They're still parsing the continuing voter-pain as "incremental reform". But can the political right ever budge Kos Theory immigration-overload?

After Bondi, pro-Palestine Albanese pivoted to guns and antisemitism, never you mind the indiscriminate immigration. Soon enough, his Home Affairs Minister was doing that gauche midnight parade of defecting Iranian footballers. Come on down, ISIS brides.

Before 2031, I'm not sure any "democratic" process can derail our dogmatic leader, from inflicting his radical immigration-intentions.

As Bob Hawke signalled decades ago, Down Under multicultural mass migration derives from a LibLab pact, not any democratic deal with voters.

Now Kos gets me thinking: this Big Australia will never be unstitched, unless there's a similar top-down (or LibLab) political fix. Defying migrant-stacked electorates, for the greater good.

Won't happen – with Albanese in charge. LibLabGreenTeal will bloviate, rather than seriously engaging with ON policy of 130,000 migrant-visas annually, implying negative net-migration.

The analogy here is same-sex marriage. Overruling the nominally "diverse" migrant electorates, voters nationally wanted it, over 60 to 40. But it took an unusual Turnbull-Shorten leadership confluence to get there, with bad-old Peter Dutton plugging the postal-vote circuit-breaker.

So, is a reverse-Albanese a chance? Our fake "progressive patriot" won power in 2022, promising moderate migration and affordable housing, whilst stealthing quite the opposite. In the 2026 media beat-up over "broken" tax-promises, few mention his original betrayals.

Imagine if a genuine patriot (of whatever party) gained power. Intending voter relief, by exiting the debilitating, divisive (and economically obsolete) Big Australia treadmill.
