Bob Birrell and Kathy Betts, of The Australian Population Research Institute (Tapri), have produced a document with the results of a survey of 3,000 voters about their view of the present Albo mass immigration program. The question had an introduction: "Since Australia's borders were re-opened after the pandemic, net migration (arrivals minus departures) has increased. In the year to May 2023 net migration reached 454,000. This is the highest number on record."
Respondents were then asked: "What is your opinion about immigration?"
It was found that 49 percent of voters wanted vastly lower levels of immigration, or no net increase at all. Further, 38 per cent of voters favoured either no cut or "somewhat lower levels," (which would add to the 49 percent figure) and 13 per cent of voters did not express an opinion.
As I see it, there has been for some time a majority, or near-majority opposition to mass immigration, but these polls have always been ignored. It shows that the governments, including past Liberal governments, are expressing their contempt for traditional Australia, which has been ear-marked for racial replacement. Most people cannot see the herd of elephants in the room, after decades of anti-white brainwashing. The demographics are rapidly changing, and Australia, and its culture and institutions we have known, will also be replaced, to make a country the globalists will find more easily exploitable.

"Following the biggest immigration surge in Australia's history, which saw a record 549,000 net overseas migrants land in the year to September 2023, The Australian Population Research Institute (Tapri) has released a comprehensive survey showing that Australians comprehensively reject high immigration and a Big Australia.
Tapri's December 2023 national survey of 3000 voters (published April 2024) shows a large and growing voter constituency concerned about the level of immigration. This is mainly composed of older voters and non-graduates.
This constituency has expanded, despite support from the business lobby, the Labor Government, and the Treasury for a high intake, and despite the consensus among many opinion leaders that any criticism of immigration is probably racist.
Below are the extracts from the survey pertaining to immigration. There are also sections on The Voice referendum, cost-of-living and housing crises, and the overall political situation, which you can read in Tapri's full report.
Immigration:
The Tapri question on immigration levels began with some information: 'Since Australia's borders were re-opened after the pandemic, net migration (arrivals minus departures) has increased. In the year to May 2023 net migration reached 454,000. This is the highest number on record.'
Respondents were then asked 'What is your opinion about immigration?'
By December 2023, some 49 per cent of voters wanted much lower levels, or no net increase in immigration at all (this means new arrivals are balanced out by departures).
By comparison, 38 per cent of voters favoured either no cut or 'somewhat lower levels' (which we interpret as support for continued high migration). Another 13 per cent of voters did not have an opinion.
The 49 per cent opposed to high immigration is well up on the 42 percent share who felt this way in Tapri's September 2022 survey.
We also asked questions which probed why voters supported or opposed immigration.
Those opposed thought immigration was contributing to congestion, deteriorating access to services, notably hospital services, and to higher costs of housing. The strongest concern was about the implications for the cost of housing
Most voters also do not think population growth is vital for Australia's future. They are out of tune with Big Australia advocacy. A decisive 71 percent said that Australia does not need more people.
At the time of writing (April 2024) immigration had not become a major political issue. This is partly because no major political party has tried to make it an issue.
Another factor is that though many home owners share a concern about the plight of young people in the housing market, the fact is that they are on the winning side of migrant-induced competition for housing.
Some 67 per cent of our sample of voters owned or were buying their home. This level may seem high, but it is because we are referring to voters, not residents.
The losers are among the third of voters who do not own a home. They are mainly young people."
