Here is the full transcript (minus a brief cutaway):

“Today, proof that the Albanese government is destroying Australia. Destroying it almost literally by its crazy immigration intake. In fact it is replacing Australians with immigrants, as well as tearing down our national symbols, our traditions.

“Now this is not a conspiracy theory, you know, [speaking in a funny voice] The Great Replacement. It’s fact.

“Our latest fertility figures show Australian women have never had fewer babies per person, not in the history of modern Australia. Just 1.5 babies now per woman, and that means we’re not even having anywhere near enough babies to replace ourselves. For that you need just over two babies per woman.

“Yet as you know, our population is not shrinking, it’s actually exploding, our cities are crammed full of people. But that’s because this government is also giving us record numbers of immigrants, I mean crazy numbers, I mean, half a million immigrants a year right now. So, what we are seeing is fewer Australians who are actually born here, and many immigrants, many more of them, who were not.

“Now you might think, well, thank heavens for that, because we need to replace these Australians who aren’t breeding. But in fact that high immigration is a reason, might be a big reason, why Australians aren’t replacing themselves with babies. They’re linked.

“All those immigrants are all looking for somewhere to live, then you can see the result. I mean, housing has never in our lifetime been so unaffordable. And even the government admits that high housing prices is a reason Australian women are having fewer babies. And much later in life when they can finally afford them….

“And it’s not just the lack of cheap housing that’s causing Australians to have fewer babies, to not replace themselves. Australians are also getting poorer per person under this government. I mean, the high inflation, the high interest rates, the terrible productivity growth. And today the unemployment rate, it went down again to just 4.1%. And that is actually good news for some people. But it does mean that interest rates are going to stay high for longer, which is pain for a lot of people.

“And it all adds up to a baby drought, and to Australia being changed dramatically. And it’s not just that the proportion of Australians born here is plummeting, I mean, now just 70% of us. At the same time this government is helping to trash our history and Australia’s symbols.

“For instance it flies three flags, not just the Australian one but two race ones as well. It’s let 80 councils ban citizenship ceremonies on Australia Day out of shame of our past. It also seems that multiculturalism now means celebrating every culture but our own.

“And the result? Well you see it, Australia is changing in front of your eyes, and in ways that often seem shocking. Alien, dare I say.”

By "imbalances",  I think you are referring to 'comparative advantage':

(google)

"Comparative advantage in an economic model is the advantage over others in producing a particular good".

Note: an economc model in neoclassical economics, which results in winners and losers, examples of the losers being  the 'first world rust belt', and third world countries saddled with crippling debt. 

Quote:


The current neo-classical (economic) orthodoxy, beloved  by free-marketeers,  is not "my concept", it's the current dogma directing national finance (according to low taxes and balanced budgets) and global trade under IMF neoclassical  trade rules - which Trump (and to a lesser extent the Dems) want to impede,  in order to MAGA.

So,  where is the "higher tide": in the West (NATO countries and allies) or China and the 'global south'?

Please explain.

Note: in the post-WW2 'globalization' era, up to the  explosion in China's  GDP (when it rapidly surpassed Japan),  the deployment of labour under the principle of comparitive advantage in different nations drove economic development via global trade.

But trade from your "imbalances"  worked too well in China's favour.....hence the US's 'decoupling' efforts.

Two States Down  ...  how now your fancy Apartheid, you racist?

76-81...... interesting use of statistics there to tell no lie.... for a change.

Who'd 've thunk the Abos would try to claim Roma and Maryborough and a few other towns all for themselves on freehold - force the old owners who bought and paid for their homes and businesses and farms and worked years to do so etc to pay rent....  wonder why the Queensland Labor government got the chop.....

Now - let's keep an eye on that spot..... should be interesting for you lot up there with all your fancy ideology.

absolutely none of us have any idea what you're on about great divide

Admittedly, understanding  issues re comparative advantage and trade, macroeconomics, and neoclassical orthodoxy, requires knowledge beyond managing your own household budget.

Immigration , cost of living and the “ voice “ will be the three big issues next federal election.

Albos government has failed in all three.

Can Australia actually have a sensible debate about immigration? With the likes of Grappler, Bobby, Soren, Yadda and Dave, doubtful...   Tsk, tsk, tsk...
