Even the fake left is turning against mass immigration

I have always been perplexed that the leftist media and commentators tend to be the strongest proponents of high levels of immigration and open borders.

This is strange because lower immigration would solve many of the problems that the left pretend to care about, including:

1. Putting downward pressure on rents;
2. Upward pressure on wages;
3. Reducing inequality;
4. Relieving pressure on the natural environment.

The reality is that so long as the federal government continues to grow Australia’s population like a lab experiment through extreme levels of immigration, the rental crisis will become permanent, the natural environment will suffer, and Australia will have no chance of meeting its “net zero” emissions commitments.
