‘You’re a racist’ remains Albo’s No 1 alibi for the endless immigration/housing pain

By Stephen Saunders - posted Wednesday, 3 September 2025


Who's the real extremist?

To restate, an ocean-bound "continent with massive natural resources ought to have world-cheap energy prices, affordable housing, world-low population pressures".

All the figures show, uni-party delivers the opposite. Pursuing extreme immigration/housing pain, irrational about Australia's comparative "advantages".

Decades after opening our economy to market-liberalism, manufacturing has shrunk to a dot, with economic complexity shrivelled, R&D fallen off a cliff.

What's really kept us going is the second set of "pillars" above. By world standards, Australia's extremely into gas cartel, endless migration, resource giveaways.

Since 2016, government has lost its mind for UN "net zero", as China and India smirk. The collective derangement is that we have "special advantages" to launder emissions via carbon captures, cleanse red dirt into green steel, magic water into green hydrogen.

Who's really trashing cohesion?

The fake social cohesion agenda of the powerful Scanlon Foundation immigration lobby funds the influential Grattan "Institute". Whose chief was hand-picked to head (or behead) the "Productivity" Commission.

Having failed at The Voice, Albanese prizes his special "envoys" for antisemitism, islamophobia, social cohesion, then toss in a race-discrimination "commissioner" and first-nations "ambassador". No surprise, as the first runs her sectarian agenda, the second seeks to ramp up sectarian protections.

Albanese-style "cohesion" means the reverse, new levels of identity-politics in increasingly "ethnic" electorates. Marchers I chatted with see clearly - he's a menace. Australia as we knew it can barely survive another six years of his radical worldview.
