Allegra Spender, the Teal federal member for Wentworth (which contains Sydney’s wealthy eastern suburbs), published two contradicting articles last year in which she advocated for a substantial increase in immigration while also advocating for lower carbon emissions (see here and here).
Spender got her wish with the Albanese Government using last year’s loaded Jobs & Skills Summit, contrived “visa backlogs”, and the Migration Review to push immigration to all-time highs.
The Albanese Government also inked two migration pacts with India to ensure that immigration levels remain turbo-charged into the future.
