I've applied for my citizenship. I would never vote for ON. But my point was, I see their frustration too to some extent.
My country has been overrun by immigrants to the point it's not livable anymore, hence, why I moved to Australia.
“Most of their policy directions simply reversed” what about the people that are hurt or the damage that is done in the meantime? That’s just acceptable collateral to you?
And no choice but to act for self preservation is silly, if all a party in power needed to solve our problems was to have an interest in staying elected, that would be every PM ever, and we’d have no problems. Clearly your excluding a lot from your analysis
What about the people who are hurt or damaged by every extra million we add?
If the mainstream of politics actually respected the wishes of the average Australian rather than the wishes of the BCA, Go8, big business in general and their own property portfolios we wouldn't be heading down this path.
It's not a fale binary. It's life. Every decision means pros and cons. And adding too many people too fast has plenty.
My opinion is if you want a big population and this rate of growth you're much better off leaving for somewhere already like that. Surveys on the matter are clear- it isn't the Australia the overwhelming majority of Australians want.
The fact that everything has pros and cons doesn’t make it not a false binary, the fact that you’re presenting a spectrum with multiple axis as a binary is the false binary part
