The fake left – which is a bizarre coalition of woke left and borderless capital – is going hard again at Nine.
Malcolm Turnbull surrogate Nikki Sava is appalled:
The issue with the debate on immigration is not the numbers. Both major parties have committed to cutting the intake of temporary and permanent migrants.
The problem is the way the debate is conducted. In such a tinder dry environment, politicians conscious of community wellbeing take extra care with tone and content.
News that released detainees had been involved in violent crimes paved the way for his budget reply on May 16, which had little to do with the economy and a lot to do with licensing those with grievances to blame migrants.
Don’t take my word for it, take his.
That night, he told the ABC’s Sarah Ferguson that Labor was “ramping up” migration, before rattling off where Australians were being dudded.
“It’s not just housing,” he said. “People know that if you move suburbs, it’s hard to get your kids into school, or into childcare. It’s hard to get into a GP because the doctors have closed their books. It’s hard to get elective surgery. These factors have all contributed to capacity constraints because of the lack of planning in the migration program.”
I don’t know if Peter Dutton is a terrible racist. But there is no evidence of it here. These are facts. All public services, infrastructure, and housing are deteriorating amid the great crush loading.
Whether it is wages, rents, transport, health, or the environment, all are deteriorating owing to too many people chasing an insufficiently expanded capital base.
It is outright lying to suggest otherwise.
Savva then gets to her real target:
This is the context in which my fellow panellist Laura Tingle made her wholly legitimate remarks at the Sydney Writers’ Festival which enraged the Coalition and its media surrogates.
Rather than backing its most prominent political reporter and one of its prize assets with little hesitation (taking long enough to check the recording) and without qualification, the ABC wilted.
As it should have. Tingle’s prior immigration statements about the problems of over-migration made when the LNP was in power severely compromised her credibility.
I humbly suggest that Savva suffers from the same malady: a personal vendetta against Dutton repackaged as policy analysis without evidence, combined with a desperate desire to stay relevant to her media bosses.
After all, Nine is the great whore of the population ponzi, clinging desperately to life via real estate assets dependent upon endless human flows.
Nine and Savva are so compromised that both should recuse themselves from the debate.
