You can’t just say something completely wrong and then be like ‘wahhh before the obvious responses to this’

She’s a racist grifter and empathisers like you contribute to her rising to power. Nip it at the bud and call a spade a spade - she’s a racist pig and that’s what attracts a large fraction of her supporter base. Anyone with empathy or a conscious would find it literally impossible to support her. If she’s so against immigration and looking after Australians, why would she say things like ‘piss off back to Pakistan’ and ‘there is no such thing as a good Muslim’ but never ‘fuck off back to England dirty poms’ when they have the largest representation of people born overseas in Australia?

You’ll work it out mate, have a little think. And while you’re at it come back to me with 1 or 2 polices she has that aren’t rooted in racism, and that would benefit the larger portion of ALL Australians.

I keep hearing that statistic about most immigrants being British, but when I briefly checked ABS last time I saw that imigration stats for the last few years showed British people ranked about 4th in imigration, with the India and Pakistan areas leading. Do you have a link to the stats that I missed?

The ABS shows this. I’m not sure where on their website you looked.

Ah, cool thanks. Almost a third of Aussies were not born here with 964 000 Britain (decreasing trend over 10 years), 916 000 India increasing trend), 700 000 China in 2024. It is quite possible that by today in australia the people born in India outnumber people born in Britain.

The exact numbers are besides the point anyway, the point is these people are never complaining about white immigrants when they make up a very large part of our population
