Australia’s Death Throes: Mass Immigration and Elite Betrayal Starve the Nation, By Tom North and Peter West
Meet Nakiah, a single mum of four from Adelaide's northern suburbs, pushed to the brink by Australia's cost-of-living nightmare. She's shoplifting food once a fortnight just to keep her kids from going to bed hungry, her heart pounding as she slips essentials past the checkout. "No parent wants to hear your kid say 'I'm still hungry' after dinner," she told 7News, her voice dripping with guilt and desperation. She's not alone, Salvation Army's 2025 Red Shield Report surveyed 3,586 vulnerable Aussies and found 24% eating expired food to survive, one in 20 scavenging from bins, and most skipping meals. Nakiah's story isn't just tragic; it's a screaming alarm bell. Australia's crumbling, and she's the canary in the coal mine.
This isn't just a sob story, it's a symptom of a nation in freefall. Macrobusiness has been shouting it from the rooftops: mass immigration is gutting Australia's economy, driving up housing costs, and squeezing families like Nakiah's until they snap. But it's not just immigration. It's economic mismanagement, or worse, what some call managed decline, a deliberate betrayal by elites who've sold out the nation for globalist dreams and corporate profits. The result? A country where honest mums turn to crime to feed their kids, while the powers-that-be watch with smug indifference.
Let's talk numbers. Australia's population has ballooned to over 27 million, with net migration hitting record highs, over 500,000 in 2023 alone, per Macrobusiness. Most aren't skilled workers filling gaps; they're low-wage labour or dependents, flooding cities, spiking rents, and clogging infrastructure. Housing prices in Adelaide, for example, have soared 40% since 2020, while wages stagnate. Nakiah told 7News there's "not enough money left" after rent and bills to feed her family. Who's to blame? Politicians who've flung open the borders, letting in waves of migrants while white Aussies like Nakiah are crushed under rising costs. Mass immigration is killing our standard of living, housing crisis, job competition, and now mums stealing to survive.
This isn't an accident, it's by design. The globalist elite, from Canberra to Davos, want a cheap labour pool and a fractured society that's too busy fighting over scraps to notice who's pulling the strings. Macrobusiness calls it a "population Ponzi scheme," where endless migration props up GDP figures while real Aussies drown. The Reserve Bank of Australia cut rates in February 2025, per CNBC, but it's too little, too late, inflation and housing costs have already gutted the middle class. Nakiah's not just a victim of bad luck; she's collateral damage in a war on Australia's soul.
Don't let the suits fool you, Australia's economic woes aren't just incompetence. It'sa slow-motion sabotage. The Guardian reported on March 27, 2025, that Aussies have faced the sharpest drop in living standards among OECD nations since 2019, thanks to high inflation, crippling interest rates, and a housing crisis. Yet, Prime Minister Albanese's Labor government, elected in 2022 and again in 2025, keeps pumping out tax cuts and band-aid policies that don't touch the root cause. Why? Because they're beholden to corporate overlords who profit from cheap migrant labour and skyrocketing property markets. Meanwhile, Nakiah's stealing bread, and one in 20 Aussies is rummaging through supermarket bins. This isn't a crisis, it's a crime scene.
The Salvation Army's Robyn Lorimer told 7News that people are "sitting in the dark" to save on power or showering in public toilets to cut water costs. This is Australia in 2025, a first-world nation where families live like they're in a dystopian novel. And yet, the government keeps the migration tap on full blast, knowing it drives up demand for everything from housing to food. It's no wonder Nakiah's scared to shoplift but feels she has no choice. When the system fails you, you break the rules to survive.
This is a globalist plot to flood Western nations with migrants, erasing native cultures and creating a rootless, controllable population.But when you see Australia's borders wide open while families like Nakiah's starve, it's hard not to wonder. The 7News story shows a nation where the social contract is broken, mums driven to crime, kids going hungry, and a government too busy pandering to international interests to care. This isn't just immigration; it's replacement. Native Aussies are being priced out, pushed out, and forgotten, while the elite cheer "diversity" and count their profits.
You think it can't get worse? Think again. Nakiah's story is a warning of what's coming if Australia doesn't change course. When the economy tanks, and it will, with global trade tensions and tariff threats looming, as The Guardian noted, the "social glue" of affluence that holds this multicultural mess together will dissolve. Look at Yugoslavia: when the money dried up, ethnic tensions exploded, and communities turned on each other. Australia's not there yet, but with migration driving division and economic pain pushing people to desperation, it's not far off. Nakiah's shoplifting isn't just a crime; it's a sign of a society fraying at the edges. When the next crisis hits, it'll be every man, woman, and clan for themselves.
Australia's on its knees, and Nakiah's story is the wake-up call we can't ignore. Mass immigration, fuelled by elite greed and globalist agendas, is strangling the nation. Economic mismanagement, or outright sabotage, has left families scavenging for scraps. The Salvation Army's aiming to raise $2 million to help, but that's a Band-Aid on a gaping wound. The real fix? Slam the brakes on immigration, put Aussies first, and rebuild an economy that doesn't force mums to steal to feed their kids: stop the immigration flood before we're all Nakiah, fighting for survival in our own country.
This isn't about hate, it's about survival. Nakiah's the canary, and the coal mine's filling with gas. Australia's not just declining; it's being dismantled. If we don't act now, close the borders, fix the economy, and put Aussies first, we'll be mourning the nation we lost while the elites laugh all the way to the bank.
"A mother-of-four has made the shocking admission she regularly shoplifts to feed her children amid the cost-of-living crisis.
Nakiah* said she feels guilty but blames rising food prices for leaving her with little choice to ensure her children do not go hungry.
"No parent wants to hear your kid say 'I'm still hungry' after dinner," Nakiah told 7NEWS.
"I feel guilt but at the same time I don't because it's for my children — I'll do anything for my children."
The single mother, from Adelaide's northern suburbs, is not alone, with Salvation Army data released ahead of the charity's annual Red Shield Appeal showing the cost-of living crisis is having widespread impact.
The Red Shield Report 2025 — which surveyed 3586 vulnerable Australians who had received food, financial aid or material aid from The Salvation Army — found almost a quarter (24 per cent) had eaten food past its expiry date to save money.
It also found one in 20 Australians have taken and eaten food from bins outside supermarkets and restaurants, while a majority of people are skipping meals.
Nakiah said the rising costs of housing and essential services and other basic living expenses meant there was often not enough money left to adequately feed her family.
She admits to shoplifting at least once a fortnight so her children don't go to bed hungry, saying it is her last resort — and it frightens her.
"You walk through (the shops) just watching and knowing I'm about to do something like that — it's so scary," she told 7NEWS.
"So many people are just brought to guilt and shame to do the wrong thing when they don't want to.
"We can't do this any more, we can't keep living like this."
Salvation Army spokesperson Robyn Lorimer said many people across Australia were cutting corners to make ends meet.
"We're finding people would prefer to sit in the dark than put their lights on," she said.
"For some, they're even having to go to a public toilet or shopping centre just to shower because they can't justify the water costs."
