These are Australians. Do you want any more evidence that Australia’s immigration system is broken? Labor and Liberals sold this country out. Diversity is our strength…GFY! Vote @OneNationAus

A gob full of false analogies. - Norway is almost entirely hydro, which is not an option for us. Unless you think Snowy 2 is saving the environment..the carbon generated to pay for this will far outweigh the benefits. - China is building “ageing, unreliable” coal stations by the dozen. Why is that? - Silicon is extremely carbon intensive to get to 6 9’s purity. - national dependence has increased with our high volume power users closing, despite the offer of huge renewable subsidies. - We need to drill more - we need nuclear - we need to use our coal - some solar is cost effective but grid level is prohibitively expensive by the time you clearly forests and build out the connectors and “subsidise the batteries” - electrification of cars makes sense from a national independence strategy. I agree a mixed strategy is optional, but blackout Bowen is targeting 80%+ renewables.

Energy Sovereignty, update for @Gnu352 forgive over confusion with retard label may self reflection, would certainly apply, note below! Apparently True national strength, apparently, lies not in reliable dispatchable power and storage, but in obsessing over the Chinese factory that built the solar panels — because clinging to 20th-century coal plants is the height of patriotism. The Import Irony Importing solar panels and batteries is such a catastrophe, as it merely slashes dependence on volatile fossil fuels (Australia imports ~90% of refined petrol/diesel/jet fuel with just 25 days’ reserves). How inconvenient for the foreign-dependence fearmongers. Australia’s “Naive” Strategy? We are foolishly advancing domestic lithium processing, Li-S Energy’s Geelong battery projects, and critical minerals initiatives while using global supply chains — what a silly approach to actually strengthening energy security. Global Reality Check Nations like Norway (98% renewable electricity) and China achieve genuine independence via modern renewables-plus-storage, vastly outperforming those charmingly unreliable ageing coal relics. The Real Analogy Critiquing Chinese manufacturing dependence while ignoring fossil fuel import risks is like complaining about the chef’s accent while your menu relies on overpriced imported caviar from unstable regions. True security favours diversified, flexible systems — not yesterday’s expensive vulnerabilities.

It’s on the way, price of energy drifting down, as is happening globally, fact renewables and storage create strategic energy sovereignty! China well ahead as is Norway, Australia quickly catching up with labors energy policies powered by Chris Bowen @AlboMP @JEChalmers @MurrayWatt @EVERALDATLARGE @TheNoisyTrunk facebook.com/share/1E6Zq59n…

It’s not a bad thing, but you must WIN power first. You white identitarians are destined to lose with your small tent politics. More than half of white Australians want open borders and big govt. I’m assuming you are either a moron or a false flag who loves @AlboMP and his socialist, open borders bullshit at this point. Prove me wrong.

Why is wanting European migration a bad thing? The smartest, most productive and least criminal migrants are European. It annoys me deeply that idiotic left wingers make everything about skin colour, when it is literally the least important difference, in an attempt to paralyse any attempt to debate migration. If Europeans happened to be purple, we would be in favour of a purple Australia policy.

How is White identity ‘unAustralian’ when we had a White Australia Policy longer than we haven’t (72 years vs 53)? The one thing the colonies could unite on, and thus federate over, was keeping Australia White and British. Our Anzacs quite literally fought for a White Australia (Hughes 1916) and now you come along to spit in the face of it all. Decline in our values, religion or cohesion which is what you and your conservative ilk bang on about is all attributable to our moving away from the policy, but for various reasons you all choose to ignore this reality. We sit in Asia with literal billions of non-Western people encircling us, if you see Australia as a set of nebulous values and an economic zone then you’re giving free rein to have them continue to replace us and create a future that is quite literally unAustralian. Frankly it sounds like your own characteristics, which you described after you called White Australia BS, is causing you to selfishly shun this country’s history and break down its identity so you’re better included which is just outright selfish. If I moved to Japan I wouldn’t include myself in their identity, I’d honor it.

He is operating on that reality, the white identitarians aren’t. You have got to get power by offering a big tent. Choose to go the way of purity pissing contests and the Islamo-leftists with mass migration will certainly win. More than half of white Australians vote for the islamo-leftists. We have more in common with those that want free markets, small govt and limited migration to preserve our way of life.

@OtherSideAus @aus_pill "it's not about permitting mass immigration and replacement of the founding ethnic group" But since that's what's currently happening, perhaps we should operate in that reality?

@YuriWasRight @beffjezos e/acc is primarily a SV movement. What is he/she then?

@Gnu352 @beffjezos Beff is not “SV”.

Tall poppy syndrome destroyed Europe and if it takes root in the USA it would be devastating

@therealrukshan Mostly false flag losers who want to run some sort of purity pissing contest. They clearly love @AlboMP and his socialist bs, otherwise why run with a losers strategy?

The white Australia lobby has been pushing ethnonationalism and the mantra of racial purity while openly dehumanising non-white people for the past few months. These same people then act mystified when conservatives on the right with migrant heritage push back against their rhetoric and views. The next two years in Australia are going to be particularly unpleasant on topics of immigration and race, so if you’re going to engage in these debates, expect to hear differing views that might offend you.

@DrewPavlou Can’t fight in the military either. Wouldn’t even if they could.

The Guardian Australia has a new article about Australia being mean to non-citizens by not giving them enough money. ''Angus Taylor’s claim support is a ‘privilege of citizenship’ leaves Deepa and others with an impossible choice'' When Deepa Chaudhary’s newborn slept, she used the time to find out what support she could get as a permanent resident in Australia. The answer was: not very much. Chaudhary moved here from India four years ago and worked until her baby was born in January last year. She describes the stress and mental health issues of being a new mother in Australia. “You’re supposed to get a maternity payment, but I didn’t meet the residency test so I didn’t get it,” she says. She does get the Family Tax Benefit now. Chaudhary says surviving the wait to get any support is hard enough, let alone the difficulties getting citizenship. “My husband has to work two jobs, three jobs, so you don’t have support from your partner either. As much as he wants to, he has to pay the bills,” she says. Taylor used the popular rightwing slogan “mass migration” three times in his speech, in which he pledged to slash immigration and strip non-citizens’ access to supports, including the national disability insurance scheme, jobseeker, youth allowance and the Family Tax Benefit. To become an Australian citizen, most people must have been a permanent resident for four years. After that, the application and processing time can take more than a year. Two of Australia’s biggest groups of immigrants are from China (732,000 people) and India (more than 970,000 people), neither of which allow dual citizenship (although Indians can get an overseas citizen registration). That means migrants wanting to become an Australian citizen also have to give up their homeland citizenship. That could make it harder to visit friends and family, and could rob the new citizen of property, investments and pensions in their homeland. In many countries non-citizens can’t own property or assets and won’t get pensions. Chaudhary says it would be an emotional and economic blow to give up her Indian citizenship. “I have my roots there. I have my parents there. My husband has his parents there. We have ancestral property, houses, land. We’d have to give that up.” Migrant scapegoating Eric Ma came from China to study at the Australian National University in 2010. A newspaper article on the deadly 2009 bushfires prompted him to study environmental science, which led to a long career – all while a permanent resident. Now that he’s no longer a Chinese citizen, he would have to apply for a visa to visit his parents (China has suspended this visa requirement for the moment, but the suspension is only temporary). “It’s a tough situation, the older people begin to perish … you can’t wait 26 days for a visa to be issued,” he says. Last year, Ma became an Australian citizen. He now works in the legal sector with people injured in the workplace, and can see the necessity of programs like the NDIS. “Mr Taylor’s grand policy … shows how tough he is on new migrants, but it does not help anyone,” he says. “I think politicians across the spectrum need to see migrants as people, as humans.” He says politicians often ignore the contribution of migrant communities, who come, work, pay tax, and often bring family wealth with them. The Chinese Community Council of Australia says the move came “amid a broader trend … of increasingly negative rhetoric surrounding migration, including narratives that unfairly blame migrants”. Anneke van Mosseveld arrived in Australia from the Netherlands in 1971. She is now 79. She spent decades completing her doctorate in business history, working as an academic and running her own business. “I came here originally as a backpacker, but I soon found work. I’ve been working all my life, paying tax,” she says. The Netherlands, with some exceptions, does not allow dual citizenship. “It means I will lose my Dutch government pension, which we get automatically in Holland.” That pension, unlike the Australian pension, is not means tested, and she would be eligible for about 20% of it, for her life spent there up until the age of 24. “It’s quite a lot of money,” she says. As a permanent resident, she doesn’t have an Australian passport, which means she can’t use some of the Australian Taxation Office’s online functions.

@Jason Blank slatism moron alert. Who built the best system, and why is it not just replicated elsewhere? Liberia has the same constitution as the US. 🤡

America's goal should be to expand our Empire Be it immigration, acquisition or invitation, if you believe we have the best system then you should embrace expansion. If Cuba, Puerto Rico, Greenland, Greece, Venezuela, Quebec or The Dominican Republic want to join the Union let’s do it! Let’s get to 60 States in these United! Let’s be the most populous and prosperous country in the world.

@MichaelPascoe01 @FinancialReview Any day now we’ll tax ourselves to prosperity, just give it a little more time. We know how this story ends. 🤡

Australian 10-year bond yield 5.04% before Budget, 4.9 now. I guess @FinancialReview is reporting "Bondi investors welcome Budget"?

@MichaelWestBiz @MrRexPatrick Mass multiculturalism has been such a bonus to our military strength and national identity that we need the brave PNG people to defend us. 🤡

Is Australia even capable of defending itself? After years of procurement debacles. @MrRexPatrick on AG Collins subs report #AUKUS #auspol michaelwest.com.au/substandard-th…

@BWJacksonX @johnddavidson @adamkjohnston They are not wrong, they just have a different opinion to you. I am voting one nation precisely because they are Australian.

@Gnu352 @johnddavidson @adamkjohnston ISIS brides are not Australian. People who think that way are wrong but are also very unlikely to vote One Nation. You don't build a genuine coalition by trying to hide what you believe.

The founders were not immigrants. Of the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence, 8 were born outside the American colonies. They were born in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales--all subjects of the British crown, until they declared independence. The "nation of immigrants" line isn't just ahistorical, it's liberal narrative propaganda meant to justify mass Third World immigration. It has no place on the right, not anymore.

@BWJacksonX @johnddavidson @adamkjohnston There is no clarity only opinions, which leads to division.

@Gnu352 @johnddavidson @adamkjohnston Clarity does not hurt unity. When you know where a person stand on this issue, you can be united on other issues that you agree with. People don't have to agree on everything to work together. But understanding each other helps.

@BWJacksonX @johnddavidson @adamkjohnston Unity is our strength. Your process will create division, this is not a strength. See the difference. I was having a go at Albo after his comments following the bondi shooting.

@Gnu352 @johnddavidson @adamkjohnston "Diversity is our strength…GFY!" Doesn't sound very welcoming & solution-focussed to me. People who are adamant that ISIS brides are Australian are not "friends" . But there are plenty of people in the middle who intuit that they are not Australian but can't quite express why.

Agreed. I did a WhatsApp poll with a group of friends, now mostly PHON supporters. No one could agree on anything. - Some said you are indigenous if you are born here (like PH) - some said you are Aussie if you are a citizen - some said you can never be Aussie unless you have British heritage It went on. Endless division. We need unifying themes now, not division.

@Gnu352 @johnddavidson @adamkjohnston Those comments largely reflect the fact that there is so much confusion about concepts. People are talking past each other because they are not clear about whether they mean citizenship, culture or ethnicity.

They are Australian and our immigration system is broken. You are saying they aren’t Australian and in doing so you will alienate lots of friends in the process because they aren’t quite pure enough. I’m focused on fixing (and using an extreme case to highlight), you on division.

@Gnu352 @johnddavidson @adamkjohnston This is literally your pinned post. I’m even more confused now about what your point is.

Trying to determine national identity now puts the cart before the horse, we have an open border. For Australians with a weak sense of identity, you will end up excluding many by having this debate now. Equally, for Australians with a good sense of identity (even if they aren’t white) they will feel alienated. Look at the comments in @therealrukshan feed. Unifying…no fucking way. It will end in a purity pissing test with endless internal arguments. Fuck off, you are not as Australian as me. Great outcome. Focus on the immediate and unifying issues: - environmental - cost of living - lack of military engagement - size of govt. - social cohesion - low trust society - shrinking community engagement

@Gnu352 @johnddavidson @adamkjohnston To build the case against mass immigration & for more sensible citizenship laws, we need a better understanding of what determines national identity. Particularly among Australians who have a weak sense of identity. And we should be honest. ISIS brides are not Australians.

@ReubzRichardson @2worldsPodcast Agreed.

I agree with you that putting back the genie is hard / impossible. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be trying to mitigate the damage as you have noted. The one thing you’re missing is we need to deport anyone that won’t assimilate / is undermining our country. The machete gangs and other criminals etc. should be gone. I think I’ve been pretty clear in the below piece.

If I wanted to be surrounded by Indians, I’d move to India. If I wanted to be surrounded by Africans, I’d move to Africa and if I wanted be surrounded by Middle Easterners, I’d move to the Middle East. I couldn’t care less who you are but Australians need to be the overwhelming majority in their own country. We need legislation written and pushed to government to ensure we protect the Australian people. Protect the people and you protect the nation, culture, heritage, history and most importantly its future. Millions Must Go 🇦🇺🫡

@BWJacksonX @johnddavidson @adamkjohnston What’s the point of your debate other than division? Give me your most hopefully outcome other than telling people you’re not as Australian as me. It’s a losers strategy.

@Gnu352 @johnddavidson @adamkjohnston Not sure who the “we” is you think will “take” power, but in Australia, power is secured via elections. Elections involve debate. Clarifying concepts is important if you want to build the case against mass immigration & encourage a strong sense of national identity.

Correct. We have had mass migration and muddied the water irrevocably. As a result the definition of an Australian is different now. We cannot have purity test debates before taking power. Our best solution from where we are right now: stop the flow, stop students visa rorting, deport overstays, stop noncitizen property and benefits and work hard on assimilating what we have. Anything else is utopian bullshit, imo.

@Gnu352 @johnddavidson @adamkjohnston It was never an issue for them. They don’t have mass immigration. I have no idea what your point is.
