The disturbed Lefties have scurried into their Sanctuary of DENIAL and are trying to calm their troubled souls by making up make believe fantasies.
The Troll VIRI are just spinning their wheels trying to get anyone to notice them.
Now a VERY WELCOME change from the hysterical raving of the distressed Lefties watching Shorty drag their Party under with his top copied and renamed Greeny junk "policy" of RESTART the BOATS!!!!!
The problem is that the plebs who vote for the ALP/Greens are not the people who fund the ALP/Greens.
The other insanity is that the ALP/Greens did not put in taxpayer funding of political parties. Rudd had a lot of political capital and he could have banned the corporates from giving money to Abbott – but did not.
The coal mines, brick kilns, and gambling dens gave money to Abbott and he danced to their tune.
The Greens are funded by bicycle shops and big lycra is destroying our lives with bicycle-mounted wrecking balls.
The reason that the public is given no choice is one still has the myth that high immigration is good for us and has currency.
The race card was a powerful tactic a few years ago but I think it is now seen as the self serving stunt among the general public that it truly is.
The chief weapon is no platforming. This is brought about by plain old fashioned corruption as there is so much money to be made under the current system, and the people who pay the price are not organised.
If GetUp! targeted these politicians to help workers things would happen; that wouldn’t happen because of fear of the race card. That cowardice is not shared by the general population.
How Fake Left suppresses concerns around high immigrationBy Unconventional Economist in Australian Politicsat 12:15 am on September 26, 2018 | 53 comments

Dr Katharine Betts from The Australian Population Research Institute (TAPRI) has published a thought-provoking article explaining how the ‘fake left’ has stifled debate around immigration, which has enabled politicians to maintain a ‘Big Australia’ policy against the wishes of Australian voters:The major parties ignore voters’ preferences because they can, believing voters have nowhere else to go. They may also be reassured by a dearth of effective public criticism.
Why this dearth? Taking voters’ concerns seriously risks breaching norms of polite discourse established and enforced by the group French economist Thomas Piketty calls the Brahmin class. These are left-leaning intellectuals with clear ideas on what may not be said on questions concerning race which, for many, includes questions about immigration.
This acts as a muffler on serious public debate…
Bipartisan support for high migration, backed by a vocal and cashed-up growth lobby, offers few openings for effective dissent. And for a long time this arrangement has been fortified by the Brahmins’ ability to smother criticism within the broader electorate.
But as the polls show, dissent is there…
Taking a strong stand against racism is a core moral principle, and rightly so. The problem lies in automatically equating any criticism of high migration with racism. All this does is feed the growth lobby and stoke growing discontent among the silenced.
We must be able to debate the future of Australia clearly and publicly. Whispering is not enough.
Too right. It’s impossible to deny that public support for mass immigration has collapsed, as evidenced by all recent opinion polls:
Australian Population Research Institute: 54% want lower immigration;
Newspoll: 56% want lower immigration;
Essential: 54% believe Australia’s population is growing too fast and 64% believe immigration is too high;
Lowy: 54% of people think the total number of migrants coming to Australia each year is too high;
Newspoll: 74% of voters support the Turnbull government’s cut of more than 10% to the annual permanent migrant intake to 163,000 last financial year;
Galaxy: two-thirds of Victorians believe Melbourne’s population is growing too fast; and
Herald: 63% of voters support restricting migrant numbers while 50% opposed more development in Sydney to accommodate population growth.
And yet our politicians refuse to normalise immigration back to historical levels:
This disconnect between public opinion and policy will only breed hatred and contempt from the electorate, placing at risk the multicultural consensus.
It also highlights why Australia desperately needs to have a plebiscite on Australia’s future population.
We need to take decision making out of the elitist’s and politicians’ hands and give the Australian people the opportunity to choose Australia’s future population size (and by extension immigration levels) via a democratic vote.
Australia recently had a plebiscite on same sex marriage, so why can’t we also have one on this issue? It is just as contentious but, unlike same sex marriage, also has direct impacts on current and future Australians’ living standards.
