The Voice debacle locks in Albanese’s 'Huge Australia' and his King Charles

Banking on ego not statesmanship, Albanese bet the house. If he flamed out, even by 6-zip or 7-one, the governing classes and their indulgent media would pat his head.

In accusatory post-referendum coverage, we're in the international doghouse. The local message is studiously ignored – a (woke) inner-city leader out of touch with ordinary Australians.

If you're really worried about stubborn groupthink, don't think 17 million voters in six states. Check out the privileged landlords on the Labor front bench, preaching open borders and "net zero".

A word about our "racism". Sure, it's greatly to be deplored. But, to the extent such things can be gauged at all, Australia is probably one of the better nations not the worst.

Whereas a persistent cellar-dweller in racism and sexism rankings is Modi India, with whom Albanese has gaily signed historic, open-ended, qualifications and migration pacts.

Catch 22, these dodgy pacts aren't being scrutinised for their "benefit" to Australia, because that would be "racist". On the contrary, here's a think tank expert proposing India as the example, to improve Australia's indigenous recognition.

Embedded racism can't explain why "Yes" blew a big starting lead. It was unwise, to think that lecturing that many voters, was the key to winning their votes over.

The fallout is painful. In terms of Closing the Gap,Indigenous Australians are no further ahead.

Neither are Australians generally. Instead of closing the [inequality] gap, first they face a lengthy Albanese-generated recession, in per-capita GDP terms.

Yet Australia's governing classes have given their emotions to the UN climate emergency. Lower orders can sort the escalating immigration/housing emergency for themselves. BYO tent, mate.

This arid continent of extremes has always pleaded, go easy on the human load. Privileged Australians dictate, no, that would be racist. Anyway, "net zero" emissions will fix thing.

Albanese will be keener than ever, to revert to his insider "democracy" of powerful stakeholders. The un-woke populace will never be granted its clear preference for low immigration.
