Remember when @AlboMP and the Labor party pretended that they would would lower migration to help Australian workers and then once in office proceeded to immediately lift Australia’s migrant intake to its highest level ever because their business donors told them to? Image
@AlboMP Interestingly, the members for business lobby groups like ACCI and BCA donated equal amounts to both Liberal AND Labor party last election.

Why did they donate the exact same amount to competing parties? Surely they didn’t expect anything in return?

@AlboMP If you ever need proof that is Australia is now an oligarchy you simply need to look at how our politicians and business leaders weaponise immigration to fatten their pockets at the cost of living standards for Australians
@AlboMP he's literally at an ACCI conference now speaking about how to "create more opportunities" for businesses

these are the vampires that for years have demanded more 1000s more migrants and even insisted that mass migration lifts wages

Once known for their failed immigration policy, last year Sweden achieved the unthinkable:

Net-negative immigration.

This is how Sweden's moderates and the populist-right worked together to reverse their country's immigration mistakes. 🧵 Image
In 2024, immigration numbers around the world were reaching record highs, except in Sweden.

"For the first time in over 50 years, Sweden has net emigration," their Minister for Immigration announced.

This was done to "strengthen integration and reduce social exclusion." Image
Likewise, across the EU asylum numbers were still high, yet in Sweden, applications had fallen by 27 per cent -- the lowest numbers in nearly 30 years.

"The Government’s efforts have produced results."

Sweden stood alone in reversing migration, Image

Australia has just passed one of the most restrictive laws on speech in the world.

It is now shockingly easy to be charged with a hate crime, even without intent.

If JD Vance wants America's allies to respect free speech, then the Australian government is openly defying them.
The Criminal Code Amendment (Hate Crimes) Act 2025, passed last week, now includes "force" alongside "violence."

This means even advocating for a popular Trump policy—like deportations—could be deemed a hate crime under the new law.
The laws shift the fault element from 'intention' to 'recklessness,' meaning you no longer need to act with intent—just being deemed reckless could be enough to commit a hate crime.

This makes it much easier to engage in 'lawfare' against political enemies. Image

Australia has just undergone one of the largest mass immigration experiments in its history.

And it was by no means an accident.

Here's how one meeting led to 1.4 million migrant arrivals, a generational housing crisis, and a cost of living crisis.
In September 2022, with the pandemic ending and borders reopening, industry representatives from across Australia rushed to Canberra for a 'Skills Summit'.

The reason: Border closures had meant less migrants, leading to a so-called 'skills crisis.' Image
The summit was a who's-who from across Australia.

Of the politicians, it included Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Treasurer Jim Chalmers, then-Victorian Premier Dan Andrews, Nationals leader David Littleproud, Dominic Perrottet, the Immigration Minister, and more. Image

In 2019, Denmark underwent a 'Paradigm shift' on immigration.

Their focus shifted from integration to "return to the countries of origin".

This was done under a left-wing Prime Minister, Mette Frederiksen. Image
In a speech in the Folketing (Danish parliament) in 2019, Frederiksen laid out what made Denmark great: trust.

The emphasis on trust is important, because it's influences their position immigration later.

(I urge you to read the speech in full, it's great) Image
On immigration, she said that "failed integration has left traces in schools, in residential areas, in workplaces. And perhaps most evidently in the crime statistics."

She even references reckless driving, and crimes committed by second-generation migrants. Image

Is mass immigration changing democratic outcomes in Australia? The data says so, in a surprising way.

Quick thread 🧵👇
Data from the Department of Home Affairs shows that 192,947 migrants became Australian citizens in 2023 -- the largest group being from India, at 40,361.

By becoming citizens, they gained the right to vote in State and Federal elections. Image
In 2022, The Carnegie Endowment of International Peace, working with YouGov, found that Indian-Australians overwhelmingly sided with Labor over other parties, at 43%.

Indian-Australians also identified higher on average with The Greens than other Australian voters, at 15%. Image

Recently for the Spectator, I wrote about Declan Cutler, a 16 year old who was stabbed over 50 times in a random attack in Melbourne by a 'gang of teenagers'.

Afterwards, one attacker googled "Is hell guaranteed for a Muslim who commits murder?" Image
Another teenager, Jason Langhans, was stabbed to death by an Afghani asylum-seeker for trying to stop him from gatecrashing a party.

This happened in a small regional coastal town outside of Melbourne. Image
Just weeks ago, in the small coastal town of Arrawarra Beach, a 17 year old girl was 'dragged into bushes and raped' by a migrant.

The alleged attacker was a part of a group of migrant farm workers who 'outnumber locals three-to-one'.
