Marches for Australia are becoming the only 'opposition' to unpopular mass-migration

By Stephen Saunders - posted Friday, 24 October 2025


Fibs Minister Leigh, immigration was "higher" under the Coalition. Posturing about social cohesion, current Home Affairs Minister Burke lies that he's "cut migration" 40%, yet also he "doesn't control" migration.

The October March

August March had issued flyers saying, big business wants endless migration. But there are many valid objections, the majority is with the March, Labor/Liberals are a uni-party. Also, we've imported more Indians in five years than Greeks and Italians in 100.

This last statement triggered howls. But this was a criticism of Albanese Labor not Indian immigrants - it's not their fault.

For October 19 March, venues were the same, with revised flyers. The pitch was: a nation without fair wages, housing, safety, community, and identity.

They even had three citations, but these weren't compelling. When they say, don't count on unions, "because diverse workplaces are less likely to unionise", that's too kind.

ACTU and unions couldn't care less about the poor conditions and wage theft that come with mega-migration. They want to be just like all the other "stakeholders".

"Australia could become 95% Indian, and they [the uni-party] wouldn't care," read the new flyer. Provocative, but that proposition won't be tested. More realistically, the proportion of migrants in the population (as distinct from the electorate) may climb well above the present 30%, to align us more with middle east autocracies.

Contrast this with India and China, No. 1 and 2 source-countries for Australian immigration. Both are nearly all native-born. As is Japan.

These nations can read OECD productivity charts. The mass-migration "multicultural" Anglophone nations UK/CA/AU/NZ are struggling. The flyer's principal statement is spot-on, but you'll never hear this from the official opposition:

"What do you think adding seven million people to Australia's population in 20 years does? Our housing shortfall is not a supply issue - it's a mass migration issue. We will never meet demand, when demand is infinite"

Many of 17 million voters, but few of their 227 federal reps, would endorse this. Though not engaging with the statement, governing classes and ABC demonised October March somewhat less. Counter-protesters, however, have learnt to parrot that low-migration is "neo nazi". In Canberra, that's what the NTEU/ANU pro-Palestine set spat out.

The March is becoming the "opposition"

It's a year since I first declaimed Albanese had already won on immigration. Meaning, net-migration would never fall below a floor of a quarter-million.
