Since 2006, Big Australia has sailed on through seven prime ministers. But Albo’s taken the numbers to a totally different level – likewise the denigration of his own people.
After the December 2025 Bondi slaughter, Albo immediately ring-fenced mass migration. Overnight, he framed the “debate” as guns and antisemitism. Nobody blinked.
For the political classes and powerful “stakeholders”, the problem is less him and more Donald Trump or Pauline Hanson. Or look-over-there at Stella, Barnaby’s dog.
For Albo himself, his worst problem is ordinary voters, even though they gave him a big election win. Their majority still wants lower or much lower immigration. The majority are still patriotic. But when Albo looks in his left mirror – they’re just Not Who We Are.
Hence, his 75% population replacement, racially preferential migration deals with Boss Modi’s India, burgeoning Indian or Muslim electorates on top of the Chinese.
Can we believe this UN activist will now rein in immigration to cover his ass?
Albo’s Bondi Commission protects mass migration
How come the Akram family, the father a non-allegiant resident for 27 years, received indulgences? They were on the national security radar – then dropped off. Though it was delayed, NSW cops eventually licensed their impressive gun arsenal.
Albo’s gun measures have fallen in a hole. Good intentions aren’t enough to overcome special interests and bureaucratic hurdles.
The intimidation of Jewish communities, especially in the migration magnets of Sydney and Melbourne, has escalated in recent years and more so since 2023. The Commission wouldn’t link this to indiscriminate mass migration.
Instead, tit for tat, Albo’s Jewish envoy is pitted against his Islamophobia envoy. The first submission allows that Islamist extremism is one of four “main sources” of increasing antisemitism. The second claims antisemitism and Islamophobia have “common drivers” – but our “diversity” is always a strength.
In later evidence, the Jewish envoy dumped on government broadcasters ABC and SBS. It is no different to dumping on the government, which is equally futile.
The Commission’s Interim Report, to the extent made public, is inconsequential in its recommendations. Expect similar results from the final.
But divisive Albo has “dealt” with Bondi and can continue with world-beating immigration while hectoring voters and even schoolchildren to mind their “social cohesion”.
Forever, Albo and media lie about immigration
Immigration is at historic levels, not what voters want, and a poor way to run an economy.
At nearly 400,000 annually, average net migration under Albo is almost twice the 2006-to-date average. It’s more than four times the 1945-2005 average of 90,000, more than six times the post-1901 average.
These quantum leaps largely go unreported. What gets printed instead are Labor’s 101 lies on immigration and their journalism-assistance slush-fund encouraging “correct” reporting from Australian-owned media.
Thus, the big media-lie of the moment is Labor’s nearly “halved” net migration to 300,000, allegedly heading for 225,000, which Albo regards as correct or normal. But any such figure would still be way abnormal, 2.5 times the 1945-2005 average.
It’s barely reported that Albo Australia is a world outlier on net migration, at more than 1% of the population per annum annually. You could cut it to 225,000 or 150,000 even, but per capita, we’d still be way out in front of most other developed nations.
Voters might mind this less if it were good for the economy or for them. But it craters productivity and living standards, leaving us dismal housing affordability and all-time rental unaffordability.
Canada has sharply improved rental affordability and visibly boosted GDP per capita by quickly reversing immigration and, thereby, population growth. This stark contrast barely gets reported either, leaving aside the “unassisted” Australian.
Instead, Albo and entitled “stakeholders” diss voters with alternate truths: mass migration is coming right down, and has no impact on housing and rental markets.
In this groupthink, little challenged by science/engineering “stakeholders”, Australia can double its energy/water consumption, hike population 50%, go long on energy-hungry AI data centres, yet still be a global energy superpower doing “net zero” emissions.
Increasingly, voters are getting sledged
Prior to the 2022 election, Albo cynically deceived voters as to his radical immigration intentions. Over 2022-26, he’s delivered nearly 1.6 million in net migration. Imperially imposing an extra Adelaide onto an otherwise barely increasing population.
Along the way, Labor ministers have amused themselves, sledging dissenting voters on ABC. One disgruntled dad-renter, having been thoroughly mocked, staged a personal protest outside Albo’s beach house.
“March for Australia” immigration protests sent Labor ballistic. Ministers, “assisted” by journalism, lashed protestors as racist, un-Australian, neo-Nazi dupes. ‘Some might be good people,’ smirked Albo. ‘No, they’re all fascists,’ snarled ex-minister Ed Husic.
By the April 2026 protest in Canberra, attended by Hanson and Joyce, Labor calmed down. They pretty much ignored the event, as did the ANU-type counter-protestors.
But Albo himself keeps harping, migration is Who We Are, can’t “turn back” the clock.
Actually, we should. The 1945-2005 average of 90,000, if restored, would “only” be about 0.3% of population. By world standards, this is still high, but it is no longer off the charts.
Albo’s soft new interview with “assisted” Saturday Paper is typical. Despite Labor pursuing radical open-borders net-zero policies, policies that unstitched the powerful German economy, the dear leader is somehow a “steady reformer”.
Voters, who mostly disagree with his mass migration, are irksome and Not Who We Are. Albo yearns for a time when mainstream media handed down agreed government-styled “facts” from on high, less disputed by unentitled voters.
The Saturday Paper rather overlooks that Albo Labor itself has taken the economic and immigration lies next level. Across five Budgets, Labor’s Treasury have accidentally on purpose way understated their true net-migration intentions. That’s a historic first.
From 2023 until right now, Home Affairs Ministers O’Neil then Burke keep promising voters “sweeping cuts”. Who’d believe them anymore?
For Albo as for Abul Rizvi, “cuts” means pretending to taper to a very-high 225,000 – at some time in the never-never. To do much better you’d have to blitz Home Affairs (immigration) – get the outfit working for the national interest not their Heinz 57 visas.
Our comfily bureaucratic immigration economy has bankrupted Victoria over a dozen years, with debt going off the scale, a bloated public service, and the corrupt Big Build. According to Albo, however, the big threat to hapless Victorians is Hanson’s One Nation.
As if this cake needed to be iced; come on down, Chief Influencer, aka Albo’s Governor-General Sam Mostyn, with her novel Mean Girl attack on Australians. Familiar tropes recur. Bring back agreed “facts”, “cohesion” is threatened, and “racism” is rising, as are antisemitism and Islamophobia.
Could this unrest at all relate to Labor’s weaponisation of mass migration against their own people? Nah, Sam’s problem is ignorant Australian adults. They just don’t understand democracy, do they – unlike inculcated schoolchildren and new migrants.
You can’t believe Mean Albo
Big Australia isn’t new – nor is lying to voters. But Albo has greatly escalated Big Australia, which in itself necessitates bigger lies and greater aggro towards voters.
As immigration goes economically awry, and more discontent surfaces, the more ideological Albo blames voters.
His divisiveness contrasts with that of Curtin, Chifley, or Menzies. A third of Perth lined the streets for patriot Curtin’s 1945 funeral. Menzies’ 1942 Forgotten People oration strove to relate to middle Australians. Up until 1966, he delivered the highest homeownership ever. By contrast, Albo is a fake or progressive patriot.
Modern (woke) politics is less about “left” versus “right” and much or more about governing classes versus governed. Australians want decent lives, not a duopoly. In that context, it’s regrettable the opposition seems fixated on Hanson. Not Albo, who almost makes Spain’s beleaguered Sanchez look like a nationalistic immigration controller.
Every time the Liberals (or indeed One Nation) distract themselves with side issues of multi- or mono-culturalism, they’re giving this Albo another free kick.
Australians’ discontent with hyper-migration is about economics and living standards not race prejudice. But Mean Albo blames the victims, that is, slags his own people.
It strains credibility, militant Labor would corral net-migration back to 225,000, let alone five figures (or zero) where it ought to be. ABC backlash and Rizvi (Home Affairs) special-pleading are already on – plus direct threats to Burqa Burke – before he’s even spoken.
