Net-zero or none, Ley's still backing Albanese's severe immigration/housing crunch

Citing the International Energy Agency, your ABC posits the sainted net-zero "pathway" might "halve" our energy bills by 2050. For ABC Ian Verrender, energy price-relief means resolving the east coast "gas debacle". No surprise, we're going to need "far more" gas for "much longer".

Do Labor or Liberal really want to reduce energy prices? I rather fear, Albo's second term will induce another round of pointless climate-theatre.

Leaving both sides to focus on this uniquely Down Under punishment, far too much low-skilled immigration, and unnecessarily high rental/housing pain.

…as Ley manoeuvres on immigration

In further reports, the Coalition's resolve has stiffened, promising to strip "climate action" out of the Energy Market Operator's objectives, and revisiting gas-reservation.

Having tweaked their emissions policy, now the Coalition dares to promise a new immigration policy. So far, they're "promising" about 200,000 net each year, still higher than Dutton, and useless, in terms of ameliorating the housing pain.

Meanwhile One Nation, pushing a "130,000 visas" annual ceiling, is voters' top choice on immigration policy. ABC hates that.

To globalist Guardian, immigration reduction is racist, as in "right-wingers picking fights". Warns SMH, Ley is battling to "win back migrant voters".

Immigration-huckster George Megalogenis rates Labor as the default government. Courtesy of women, city dwellers, and "the majority of the population being a first or second-generation migrant".

Tell us about it, George. Australia's 30% migrants and 50% migrant-origin are indeed world extremes, more like a national gerrymander than social cohesion.

However, when front-bencher Jacinta Price observed that Labor was (more than ever) stacking in Labor-leaning Indian migrants, Ley flashed her the racist-card and sacked her.

Sceptical of Ley, ex-Tele scribe Jeni O'Dowd at The Nightly reckons immigration not net-zero is the Coalition avenue:
