Australia’s Immigration-Mad Left, Outraged at Aussies Turning Against the Migration Cult By James Reed
A May 30 2023 poll indicated that Australians are concerned about housing shortages, and want a cap upon immigration until this situation is under control. Good luck with that one, as the business elites have used immigration since the end of World War II as a source of profits, turning what was to be a homeland for Anglo-Australians, into a global supermarket, with inflated housing prices and a pool of cheap labour. But, what is interesting, is that the poll showed that 53 percent of Left-wing voters want to “Cap immigrant numbers until we have sufficient affordable housing.” Big Business Australia will never allow this, and will keep immigration going until the Australian land mass is reduced to a toxic cesspool, where they will move themselves and recommend all of the world’s nuclear waste be dumped here, unless a massive social movement arises to shake the foundations of the system. Am I jesting about the waste dump idea? Unfortunately, no. Bob Hawke was keen on a version of this idea, as The Guardian reported back in 2014:
“Australia could end the disadvantage endured by its Indigenous population by opening up traditional lands as dumping sites for nuclear waste from around the world, a former prime minister, Bob Hawke, has said.
Hawke said he was confident that the answer to long-standing indigenous socioeconomic problems was to allow radioactive waste to be stored on Aboriginal land, and use the revenue to improve living standards.
Speaking at the Indigenous Garma festival in the Northern Territory, Hawke said he had met Adam Giles, the territory’s chief minister, to discuss the idea and had got a favourable response.
“We need to do something substantial to finally eliminate these disgraceful gaps in well-being and lifetime opportunities,” Hawke said. “I have no hesitation whatsoever in putting the situation in very specific terms because I believe I have the answer.
“I’ve discussed this proposal with Adam Giles, who tells me he’s been approached by a number of elders who, like himself, are keenly supportive of the proposal.”
I am amused to see how every rotten idea is dressed up by the political and chattering class in false social justice/welfare robes today. Your dispossession and annihilation is good for you!
“Australian left-wingers are alarmed by a May 30 poll showing most Australians favor caps on migration “until [Australians] have sufficient affordable housing.”
The Guardian poll of 1,138 Australians was released May 30, and showed 53 percent of left-wing voters want to “Cap immigrant numbers until we have sufficient affordable housing.”
That “cap immigrant numbers” goal was also backed by 70 percent of the voters for the center-right party, and by 44 percent of Green Party supporters, whose strongest supporters are younger people.
That obvious political opportunity is being exploited by the opposition conservative coalition and its leader Peter Dutton.
“Of all the problems [Prime minister Anthony] Albanese government faces as it enters its second year, housing looms as the most wicked: both devilishly complex and capable of unleashing the nation’s darker angels,” said an alarmed article by pro-migration columnist and PR executive Peter Lewis. He continued:
The opposition [center-right] leader, Peter Dutton, seemingly flagged in his budget-in-reply that he intends to exploit the systems failure that is our housing market to drive an immigration panic, just as Australia reopens its labour market in earnest after the pandemic pause.
The phrase “reopened its labor market” understates the case: Australia’s left-wing government has just expanded migration and has invited an unlimited migration from Indian college-graduate “students” into the white-collar jobs and homes needed by Australian graduates.
The invited Indians likely will accept very low wages and cramped living in the hope of staying permanently in Australia, just as India’s H-1B temporary workers in the United States undercut American graduates. The deal also threatens many Australian professionals because it also treats low-grade Indian credentials as equal to higher-grade Australian credentials.
In exchange for India’s cheap labor, Australian investors will be allowed to sell more raw materials to India.
The deal means that the Australian left-wing party will soon face even more significant public opposition as more migrants displace more young and old Australians from decent housing in the coastal cities.
Housing prices are already very high because both left-wing and right-wing governments have long allied with real estate investors and employers to import 7.5 million migrants. “The price of a typical house in Sydney has multiplied by 17 times in the past 40 years, almost three times faster than wages,” the Sydney Morning Herald reported in November 2021.
Immigrants now account for 30 percent of Australia’s population, and they dominate any of the coastal towns that will produce the nation’s next generation of leaders and professionals. That 30 percent share is twice the immigrant share in the United States — and it is pushing young Australians away from the coastal cities.”
