Indians are now Australia’s largest migrant group, supplanting the English for the first time ever, in a change that highlights the rise of immigration as an increasingly contentious political issue bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

@YaThinkN England was an expanding Empire and superpower. They didn't need to ask permission, just like the Mongols didn't ask permission to invade China, or Persian Empire didn't ask permission to invade Europe, or Islamic Empire didn't ask permission to invade Egypt.

Yeah well Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples were never asked if they minded being invaded by your pommy ancestors Tony, so shut the fuck up you grifter.
Welcome To Country from First Nations people at events is more grace than you racists deserve.

Former PM Tony Abbott on the ‘Welcome to Country’ “We were never asked should we be welcomed to our own country” “We were never asked should we fly 3 flags instead of 1” “The 1 time we were asked with the voice referendum the answer was a resounding no”

It won't be too long before retail prices for electricity fall

The exponential growth of massive batteries is diminishing the role of gas in Australia’s power grid – and lowering electricity prices. ebx.sh/nmUMtH

Your figures indicate that less criminals are being caught, not less crimes.
Evidence shows Victoria is a machete/house invasion crime hell hole.
You must be retarded to accept the machete attacks and home invasions is normal. Maybe you will wake up if it happened to you, but probably not in your case.

This coming election in Victoria, all we’re going to hear about is youth crime. It’s hysteria. It’a political. And it’s there to put fear into people to vote for the Liberal Party. Data says youth crime is going down. And that has been the trend for years.

@CouldntBeArsed1 @AvidCommentator @Judy1403 I'm no fan of Howard (or Liberals in general). However, what he had done pales in comparison to what Labor is doing today, and in the past four years.
English
@neld34129 @AvidCommentator @Judy1403 No the immigration ponzi started by Howard 25 years ago.
The same one all the major parties support today.

'Increasing supply' must be Labor's top priority for any negative gearing changes, expert demands ahead of budget'
We are not resolving the housing deficit with any credible increase to supply.
It has to be addressed by reducing migration.

@MarkoMatvikov That is backlog though... each visa type takes a different time to process, and likely skilled workers have graduated uni etc and are already here.
Could we see actual immigration rates by the same categories?
English
Parents currently make up the largest portion of permanent visa applications.
Partners are the second largest.
Skilled independent is the smallest by far.
Don't ever talk to me about our immigration settings being highly targeted.

Only 1 of the top 10 countries of origin for migrants has a lower median age than those born in Australia. That country, Nepal, is 8th on the list of countries of origin by population and is dwarfed by the top few. So the overwhelming majority of first generation migrants are older than people born in Australia. Which means that our population isn’t getting younger as a result of migration. New migrants are mostly younger - but to actually reduce our population age requires more and more younger and younger migrants. Which is contributing to a lower and lower local birth rate as the adverse economic impacts of migration deter Australian-born children. This is yet another in a long series of black pills for me.
English
@oszinger At best, our current settings are mitigating more rapid aging.
At worst, it’s just making it worse.

NO affordable rentals for low income households. Nationwide. Homelessness up 10%. Thousands on long public housing wait lists. Past time to fix tax breaks for wealthy investors, rebuild public housing stock, cap rents in a war-driven inflation crisis, & rapidly ⬆️ affordable 🏠

@lindy_botha @BarbaraPocock Greens to have common sense? You're more likely to find wings in a rabbit
English
@BarbaraPocock If you have any common sense you would be able to see how we got here. You lot will blame anything but the govt's policies of flooding the country.
English
@BarbaraPocock Don't you see, no matter how much you tinker round the edges, if it impacts prices... the property lobby will just howl for more migrants (to grow demand), & the politicians will duly oblige.
See the agenda for what it is and stop supporting it.
English
@BarbaraPocock Yes, and your brand of socialism is the problem, not the solution

Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach.
The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.

9 years ago Pauline Hanson REFUSED flights from the elite, sticking to her BATTLER BUS 🚌, now she's accepting cash AND PLANES from Gina Rinehart. 💰✈️
What else would you expect from a grifter who cooks wagyu steak on a sandwich press?
FAILS THE PUB TEST. 🍺
