>The prime minister says the country must be “vigilant” against politicians seeking to return to a bygone era of Australia that was less accepting of migrants, following the South Australian election in which One Nation overtook the Liberal Party on a platform that included opposing migration and multiculturalism.
One Folk, One Nation, One Führer… it’s not like history has taught that lesson before. 🤔
Stop ignoring the housing crisis then.
A member of his own party stated that Labor has no interest in seeing house prices come down.
The only other viable alternative to better that situation without a decrease to house prices, is to increase wages/purchasing power.
And having huge immigration numbers is not something conducive to wage growth.
Just sheer ignorance.
LOL “let us buy our votes in peace”
Can’t afford a home, rent ever increasing, food prices ever increasing and everything is subject to enshittification but apparently this is all cool and normal and it’s not ok to miss the past where things actually -worked-.
What a shit cunt of a prime minister.
Piss off Albo
The party full of landlords doesn’t want change.
Sorry kids no homes for you
everyone seems extra cruel and hateful lately. trump being elected really did a number on the world. i wonder how we’ll go back to what we once were. being non white in australia always has you wondering who secretly hates you and wants you gone (or worse).
Opposing immigration is not same as opposing multiculturalism.
The media is really trying hard to make one nation happen
Shut up Anthony.
you mean the ones that think Albo is doing a shithouse job and want to go back to something that works? those ones?
Why wouldn’t you want to turn back the clock? Times were simpler, easier, more enjoyable, wholesome. People had respect, teachers had authority, You were allowed to have autonomy and free will to find your feet as a kid which would ultimately shape you into a well adjusted adult. Things were less regulated and governed, Taking all of it away has shaped the future generations for the worse and left the older ones wondering where it all went Pete tong.
One Nation voters are idiots. She just wants to get in so Gina doesn’t have to pay her fair share of taxes on the resources. You can see the bot farms working in here already. I’m just glad we have compulsory voting.
If you vote for her NOTHING will change, if anything things will go backwards faster. I can’t point to the US and trump any harder to show this doesn’t work.
Agree. Daylight savings is a blight on Australian society.
What vigilant actions is he referring to?
Just call it what it is. Foreign interference from the billionaire class. He mentioned tax reform and suddenly the media found who they want to run for them.
“We keep wanting to take the country forward in a way that makes life harder and harder…why do people want to go back??”
If you turn the clock back 30 years, people were buying a house and raising 2 kids on a single income. But why would anyone want that?
I think it’s a bit rich for him to say this right after banning refugees from certain countries.
It was also pretty dirty of him to handwave the criticism he got from Lebanese people the other day. He lied and said it was because they banned a terrorist group. Not true! He knows full well Lebanese Aussies are angry at him for glazing Israel. Israel is currently invading Lebanon and blowing up residental apartment buildings full of innocent people. Ofc they’d be pissed at him!!! FFS.
This is the problem with neolibs. They say one thing then behave a completely different way. He only cares about optics.
Unfortunately for Albo you can’t both sides this kind of thing. It’s just not doable.
Sort out housing and ditch the fuel excise for a year and the election is yours bud.
We need progressive wealth based tax Albo
Weak and corrupt leaders have destroyed this country.
Lets go back to the 50’s and 60’s – where my migrant parents were welcomed into this country, where they were able to buy a house and raise a family whilst working in factories for minimum wage. Where their kids ( me being one) received the best education for free. An era where Australia produced fuel. Gas and electricity were cheap and the cost of living was low… God, what Australian would ever want that again…
Difficult when Australia has not moved forward
It’s fine to ignore racists, but if you lump everyone into the racist bucket who voices concern about a particular policy position, you risk missing an important message.
Is everyone who expresses concern about migration racist? Or is a chunk of them concerned about cost of housing and see migration as a significant cause of that?
It would be a fucking disaster to see Liberals or PHON gain more power because ALP ignored voters worried about cost of living and who were duped into voting for people who will make it so much worse.
Let’s also stop.doing the old thing of giving our resources away and put Australia first, for once.
How about a royal commission into Murdoch.
the issue is not about “turning the clock back”
the issue is that “the clock is stuck and not moving forward”
More of the same year after year, and nothing to look forward to for a brighter future
Queensland (not me) says hello! 😮💨
Like turning the Internet back 50 years and making people give away their facial features or ID to who knows who or go to darker places on the internet? Yeah Albo, solid idea.
