Fake left pretends to care as it destroys Australian way of life

As we know, The Guardian has a fatwa against the word “immigration”. It is to blame for nothing.

Except this:

International students who cannot speak “basic English” are walking away from Australian universities with prestigious degrees, academics say, a situation one described as “mind-blowing” .

More than a dozen academics and students who spoke to Guardian Australia, most on the condition of anonymity, said the universities’ financial reliance on foreign students over many years had hollowed out academic integrity and threatened the international credibility of the sector.

Many said the rise of artificial intelligence was accelerating the crisis to the point where the only way to fail a course would be to hand nothing in, unless universities came up with a coherent institutional response.

And this:

Rental advocates are warning about mass no-grounds evictions in New South Wales between now and the end of the year unless the state government acts to stop dodgy landlords.

And this:

Perhaps the most important data release in more than two years will land on Wednesday, with the Australian Bureau of Statistics releasing the June quarter inflation figures.

And this:

Sydney is fast running out of landfill and an “emerging weak link” in the plan for how the city manages solid waste in the future could see uncollected garbage left piling up at hospitals and other businesses, experts warn.

I could go and on. What is the point of a newspaper that spends all day complaining about the fallout from population growth while refusing to discuss population growth?

The key point is that it is wholly representative of the fake left as the major parties portray it:

Ms O’Neil said she was not “in politics to play games” and declared Australia should not be a country where people felt “dread” at the idea they would ever be able to own their own home, as their parents did.

“I’m 43, but for people my age and very much anyone younger than me, this is often the defining issue in their life,” she said.

Greens housing spokesman Max Chandler-Mather urged the government to reopen talks with the crossbench party over negative gearing, rent freezes and capital gains.

“A new salesperson selling the same failed policies… is not going to help anyone. The offer we continue to make is, drop their decision to refuse to negotiate.

“If Clare O’Neil decides to adopt the same position that Labor adopted last week of tinkering around the edges, making the crisis worse, refusing to do anything substantial, then in six months’ time, we might be talking about another housing minister again.

“This isn’t about messaging. It’s about the millions of renters and first home buyers and mortgage holders and people waiting for public housing, who might be waiting for eternity because this government seems to be pathologically unambitious.”

Actually, it’s about immigration and the crowding out of local housing.

If you can’t even mention the word, then how will you fix it and everything else?

The fake left is a complete fraud.
