Forever, Albo and media lie about immigration
Immigration is off the scale, not what voters want, and a naff way to run an economy.
At nearly 400,000 annual, average net-migration under Albo is nearly twice the 2006-to-date average. It's more than four times the 1945-2005 average of 90,000, more than six times the post-1901 average.
These quantum-leaps largely go unreported. What gets printed instead are Labor's 101 lies on immigration, their journalism-assistance slush-fund encouraging "correct" reporting from Australian-owned media.

Thus, the big media-lie of the moment is Labor's nearly "halved" net migration to 300,000, allegedly heading for 225,000 which Albo regards as correct or normal. But any such figure would still be way abnormal, 2.5 times the 1945-2005 average.
It's barely reported that Albo Australia is a world outlieron net-migration, at more than 1% of population per annum annually. You could cut itto 225,000 or 150,000 even, but per capita, we'd still be way out front of most other developed nations.
Voters might mind this less, if it were Good for The Economy, or for them. But it craters productivity and living standards, leaving us dismal housing affordability and all-time rental unaffordability.
Canada has sharply improved rental affordability and visibly boosted GDP per capita, by quickly reversing immigration, and thereby population growth. This stark contrast barely gets reported either, leaving aside the "unassisted" Australian.
Instead, Albo and entitled "stakeholders" diss voters with alternate-truths, mass migration is coming right down, has no impact on housing and rental markets.
In this groupthink, little challenged by science/engineering "stakeholders", Australia can double its energy/water consumption, hike population 50%, go long on energy-hungry AI data centres, yet still be a global energy superpower doing "net zero" emissions.

Increasingly, voters are getting sledged
Prior to the 2022 election, Albo cynically deceived voters as to his radical immigration intentions. Over 2022-26, he's proceeded to deliver nearly 1.6 million net-migration. Imperially imposing, an Extra Adelaide, onto an otherwise barely increasing population.
Along the way, Labor ministers have amused themselves, sledging dissenting voters on ABC. One disgruntled dad-renter, having been thoroughly mocked, staged a personal protest outside Albo's beach house.
"March for Australia" immigration protests sent Labor ballistic. Ministers, "assisted" by journalism, lashed protestors as racist, un-Australian, neo nazi dupes. Some might be good people smirked Albo. No they're all fascists, snarled ex-minister Ed Husic.
