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

Horrors, it's even been suggested that migrants put "pressure" on local jobs and services. Fortunately, Liz stands stoical for "young people" and "enormous diversity".

Demography, you see, is a "slow moving train" whose power we can harness to "solve our way out of the gigantic mess we're in". Granted, recognised demographic techniques are vital. But ANU fake-demography is a veneer for population hucksterism at any cost to socioeconomic equality.

What a joke. Parsing Allen's tangled paras, she's just another happy stooge for harsh Treasury neoliberalism – with endless population-growth and falling living-standards.

Her "feminist" credentials are cannily curated - the sort of glop Ita Buttrose could have run at Women's Weekly. Before Ita failed upwards, to chair the ABC. With influencer Tingle as her allegedly non activist chief political correspondent.

Though Tingle's now quit the National Press Club presidency, the top three influencers maintain their pervasive currency, in the self-satisfied silo of the top 20%.

Even in this Groupthink Australia, however, there exist isolated agencies reanalysing the Huge Australia boondoggle, with a weather eye on citizens' welfare. These provide invaluable counterbalance but can exert little here-and-now influence over Australia's self-destructive and class-ridden population policies. Not Allowed.
