Just re-read John L:yons' Balcony Over Jerusalem. Essential reading to understand the tactics and the influence of rightwing Israeli interests in Australia.

Jillian Segal, Mark Leibler & the ECAJ mouth will go down defending this behaviour and making excuses for Israel to their last breath Then turn around in the next breath wondering where all the hatred against Israel is coming from and twist and manipulate it into "antisemitism"

Cutting migration won’t fix Australia’s housing problem

Australia’s housing crisis is the result of failing to build enough well-located homes, not excessive migration. Cutting migration instead risks weakening the economy while leaving the real problem...

Anyone in this country pushing for weaker gun laws should migrate to America!! Any political party seeking to weaken gun laws should be boycotted!

Just a quick point, Ken. Canada is not Australia. Ross’s commentary is about Australia and its immigration policies.

Geoff - population driven by immigration not keeping up with housing & infrastructure is a problem. Canada under a leftish government has substantially reduced both permanent immigration targets & temporary resident intake after several years of very rapid population growth. The policy shift began with the 2025-2027 Immigration Levels Plan & has continued in subsequent plans. The reasons: Housing affordability & shortages, strain on infrastructure & public services, managing temporary resident numbers, population growth concerns, labour market rebalancing. Sound familiar?

My feed is being about US politics is bloated by wild and weird posts from “Christian” Americans losing their minds over whose Christianity is really blessed by God. God save us from American Christians!

Many Australians have never seen an economic downturn. Time for a reality check. The irony is that immigration has kept our economy afloat for 3 decades.

51 years ago 5 Australian journalists were murdered by Indonesian troops invading East Timor. It was a war crime. Their families have faced lies ever since from successive Indonesian and Australian Governments. They deserve justice. Please spare a thought today for the Balibo 5.

Trial by commentary is eroding the presumption of innocence

High-profile allegations increasingly trigger media commentary, corporate distancing and public judgments that can undermine the presumption of innocence long before any court has determined guilt.

So many lies, so much wild exaggeration, so much straight out racism on this site - much of it from people who know they are deliberately misleading and causing conflict and division: Ross does some important truth telling.

I’m sick of immigration being blamed for problems it doesn’t cause

Migration has become an easy target for voter frustration, but the promised cuts are unlikely to deliver what politicians claim – and could create serious economic problems of their own.

Do you hate Trump so much because he said climate change is a massive scam? He disarmed Iran and banned Muslim immigration into America. What more could anyone ask?

“The Libs talking about migration doesn’t create more Liberal voters, it creates more One Nation voters ...Immigration offers people a simple explanation for the pressures they are feeling...[Voters] then ask, who is the strongest voice on immigration? It’s a massive strat error

When opposition started talking about cutting immigration it would have thought, on the basis of polling, that it was tapping into a vein of political gold.
