Australians never voted for Albanese Open Borders

By Stephen Saunders - posted Thursday, 20 July 2023


Visibly unbalanced. Stakeholders wouldn't care. They'd just see dollar signs of potential Indian investments.

Remember 2019. Bill Shorten was admonished, for failing the "Chinese-Australian" electorates. Ditto Morrison in 2022. Special "stakeholders" proliferate.

Now check Minister O'Neil . Her odd slant on "Australian values" reads like - More Migrants Please. Whatever happened to kelpies and mateship?

No fair go - if hardly any of her huge intakes are refugees.

Intakes raked in, with all regard for Treasury GDP. Limited regard, for migrant accommodation and employment. Utter disregard, for existing residents.

Prime ministers pump Australia as the multicultural nirvana. Influencer George Megalogenis is giddy. Not only are we 30% (only emulated by a few autocracies ) overseas born. We've cracked 50% "migrant origin".

What of it, George? Should we do victory-laps over India and China? Preen over USA and wealthy European nations? Also having low rates of immigration.

George, what would be your environmentally "sustainable" Australian population limit? For globalist Rudd and salivating urban planners, 50 million is a slam-dunk. They seem to assume, UN net-zero can square our (arid) environmental circle.

Under Albanese Open Borders, voters are so last century.

At Albanese jobs summit, 146 immigration stakeholders deputised for 17 million voters. Low-migration voices weren't in the tent. They might be racist.

As our population lacks a say on population, what's democracy for? Song again:

Part of what it means for a political community to be self-determining is that it controls whom to admit as new members.
