That’s right. Allegra Spender lobbied hard for record levels of immigration without giving a jot of consideration to where the migrants would live.

Spender has also lobbied for Australia to meet its net zero commitments, ignoring the fact that having substantially more energy users and consumers in Australia would make achieving net zero impossible.

Such is the unbelievable immigration hypocrisy of the posh Teals. They help create the problem by pushing record immigration and then complain about the consequences.

I suggest that we dump the migrants in high rise towers in Spender’s seat of Wentworth. How about it, Allegra?
