ANU’s feminist immigration-influencer Liz Allen is a toxic Treasury wolf in sheep’s clothing

Parrots Liz, mega-migration offsets the adverse economic "consequences" of "ageing" population. This must explain, why average Australians are so much better off than they were three years ago, 10-20 years ago. Not.

"Is the nation's population growing too slowly, too fast," waffles our consecrated counsellor, "why are women having too few children? Are there too many migrants?"

Here's a hint, Liz. This arid continent's population is growing way too fast. About four times the rate of the US or the OECD bloc. As you celebrate your cloying personhood, Albanese's immigration onslaught has thrashed the lofty Rudd record, by an eye-watering 70%.

Doesn't take much, warns Liz, to stoke "population fear". Once again, playing the racist card.

Women shun having children, she continues, due to "housing affordability, gender inequality, financial insecurity and climate change". So deep, so caring. Ticks the boxes, sidestepping the federal population-rush and the lush tax-breaks for housing.

Nearly as deep, as Treasury population overlords themselves. No irony, they claim fertility can be revived via "policies that encourage a more equal division of household labour, alleviate the financial cost of having children, and promote housing security".

Now to grapple with the sophisticated "nuances" of permanent versus net migration. Even though net-migration drives our massive population growth, federal government has "little control" over it. A big lie, copying the big fibs of Treasury eminence Martin Parkinson, in his dodgy Migration Review for Clare O'Neil.

Cutting permanent migration, says Liz, is unlikely to affect net.

Sure, because permanent migration is a number confected in Canberra by Home Affairs bean-counters, as they ticket-clip the visa-upgrades. As Liz concedes, most of those who go permanent, were already camped here.

They knew, our crazy 70-plus visa categories (doesn't "independent expert" Rizvi just love these categories) created stepping-stones to abuse the system, and win permanency if so desired. Invisible to Allen's worldview, Albanese's astonishing 1.3m net migrants over 2022-25 are only casually vetted at partisan Home Affairs, the Migration Agent to top all migration agents.

There might be a few bad apples, replaying global conflicts, spreading sectarian hate. Can't be helped. The migrant deluge is so young and productive, scarcely impacts on accommodation and services, and pushes us closer to the net-zero rainbow.

While loquacious Liz (and the Coalition's Home Affairs Shadow) are looking-over-there, Labor's been stacking northern Sydney's Liberal seats with pro-Labor migrant voters. In western Sydney seats, the current Home Affairs Minister has recently fast-tracked thousands more into citizenship and voting rights. Democracy 101.
