Nandan, I appreciate that you have acknowledged this is complicated, that you do not support unlimited migration, and that citizens should not feel unsafe. I also agree that some comments directed at Indians are openly bigoted. I am not defending them.

But there is another side you need to understand.

Australia recently suffered the Bondi Beach massacre, where 15 people were murdered. The older attacker was an Indian national and Australian permanent resident from Hyderabad. His son was Australian born. Police say the attack was inspired by Islamic State ideology and targeted a Jewish celebration.

That does not make Indian people collectively responsible. It would be wrong to claim that. But it does mean Australians are discussing migration, radicalisation, loyalty and social cohesion after real bloodshed, not from some imaginary fear.

Your earlier replies about India reaching the Moon came across as national chest beating rather than an attempt to understand those concerns. Technological achievement does not answer questions about Australia’s housing, security, infrastructure or cultural continuity.

I find your idea of janma bhoomi and karma bhoomi interesting. But when the interests of the land of birth and the adopted country conflict, which one comes first?

If Australia is the permanent home, should Australia not become the first civic loyalty?

And this is the question I still want answered seriously: what obligation does Australia have to absorb pressures associated with India’s enormous population?

Australia did not create India’s demographic challenges. Why should Australian housing, hospitals, roads and social cohesion carry the cost of relieving them?

Where does Australia’s responsibility to India begin, and where should it end?

[Marc @MarcCasis]

Nandan, can I ask you a genuine question, not a gotcha?

Australia has spent more than two centuries trying, with mixed success, to reconcile the relationship between Indigenous Australians, who are the First Peoples of this land, and the institutions built by later British settlement that became modern Australia.

That conversation is still ongoing and many Australians believe it’s not yet resolved.

Given that, what role do you think newer migrant communities should have in shaping that discussion?

Do you see your role as contributing within Australia’s existing civic framework, or as advocating for changes based on the priorities of the community you came from?

I’m asking because every country has to decide how much cultural continuity it wants while welcoming newcomers. Where do you think the balance should be?

We need to have a conversation like this in Australia between our indigenous and Anglo’s no need for anyone else. If we want to preserve our culture.

[Marc @MarcCasis]

We have reached peak 2026.

A Sydney brothel appears to have stricter customer policies than the Australian Government has migration policies.

I never thought I’d see the day a brothel looked more concerned about managing its customer base than the Prime Minister looks about managing Australia’s population growth.

[Marc @MarcCasis]

“Always Was, Always Will Be.”

“No borders.”

“Free Palestine.”

“Mass migration.”

Pick one.

You can’t argue sovereignty is sacred for one group while treating national sovereignty as optional for everyone else. Either borders, identity and self determination matter, or they don’t. The principle can’t change depending on which cause is trending this week.

[Marc @MarcCasis]

Whether you’re Australian or Kiwi, people are asking the same question.

Why are our governments celebrating deals that seem to increase pressure on housing, infrastructure and public services, while ordinary citizens are told they’re the problem for noticing?

Modi’s job is to negotiate for India. Fair enough.

The real indictment is of our own leaders. Their first duty is to negotiate for their own people, not to chase headlines and photo opportunities.

Australia and New Zealand shouldn’t be competing to see who can roll out the bigger red carpet. They should be competing to see who can deliver the best outcome for their own citizens.

[Marc @MarcCasis]

@craigkellyAFEE The world’s most successful export isn’t software.

It’s people.

Modi exports the pressure.

Albo imports it.

India gets the remittances.

Australia gets the housing crisis.

Explain why the rest of the world is expected to solve India’s population pressures.

[Marc @MarcCasis]

Victoria is buckling under housing pressure, infrastructure strain, youth crime and a cost of living crisis… and Labor’s priority is another smiling family photo with Modi.

Modi’s job is to negotiate for India. Fair enough. Every leader should put their own country first.

The problem is Albo seems to think his job is negotiating for everyone except Australians.

India gets investment.

India gets remittances.

India gets another migration pipeline.

Labor gets another photo.

Australians get longer queues, higher rents and another lecture about “diversity” every time they ask where the infrastructure is.

And Jacinta? She couldn’t keep Victoria safe if Batman, RoboCop and Judge Dredd were on the payroll, yet somehow she’s still rolling out the red carpet like she’s accepting an award instead of explaining another crime statistic.

Labor doesn’t reward competence. It rewards loyalty. That’s why failure gets promoted and Australians get gaslit.

India is playing chess for India.

Labor is playing Instagram for Labor.

Australia is paying the bill.

[Marc @MarcCasis]

Whether you support Welcome to Country or not, watching Modi suddenly deliver one felt like political theatre. If this was Albo’s idea, it was another tone-deaf stunt that divides Australians instead of uniting them.

Modi’s job is to advance India’s interests. He exports population pressure, benefits from remittances and grows India’s global influence. Albo’s job was to defend Australia’s interests. Looking at housing and infrastructure, who got the better deal?

[Marc @MarcCasis]

Sam, Rupert Lowe’s appearance on Joe Rogan opened a lot of people’s eyes to the Fabian Society. If you haven’t already, I’d recommend looking into the work of Susan Kokinda and Barbara Boyd from Promethean Action. They’ve spent decades researching what they argue are the historical networks connecting British strategy, transnational institutions and modern policy development. Their focus is mostly America, but I think it’s relevant to Australia because we often end up adopting very similar policy settings. Whether you agree with every conclusion or not, it provides another lens through which to examine why countries like Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the UK frequently seem to move in parallel. It might add another layer to what you’re already uncovering.

[Marc @MarcCasis]

First, keep the racial slur out of your mouth.

Second, using Australia’s 3.7 people per square kilometre to dismiss overcrowding is Year 8 maths with a superiority complex. That average includes deserts, cattle stations and places Uber Eats will not deliver to.

Australians are concentrated in cities where rents, roads, trains and hospitals are already under pressure. By your logic, a nightclub cannot be packed because the Nullarbor is empty.

You have not disproved a capacity crisis. You have proved you can divide two numbers and misunderstand both.

A national average is not a house, mate. Smugness is not infrastructure.

[Marc @MarcCasis]

India’s population problem is not Australia’s invoice.

Modi exports the pressure, keeps the remittances and builds diaspora influence. Albo imports the demand, strains housing and infrastructure, then calls Australians racist for noticing.

India gets relief.

Labor gets votes.

Australia gets the receipt.

[Marc @MarcCasis]

Nobody hates your doctor or your mate. That is the cheap trick. One good doctor does not answer how many people Australia can house, train or service. You are using individual contribution as a moral shield for government policy. Indians can contribute. Mass migration can still be reckless. Both can be true.

[Marc @MarcCasis]

NRI quota? Mate, you answered brain drain with a university application form.

Modi’s plan is better: export the people, let Australia supply the houses, hospitals and wages, then India gets the remittances.

The Indian who keeps on giving everyone else India’s population problem.

[Marc @MarcCasis]

The Art of the Deal, Albo edition:

Dig up uranium.
Ship it to India.
Let Modi build nuclear plants.
Tell Australians nuclear is too dangerous.
Then blame the weather when the grid falls over.

India gets reactors. Bowen gets windmills. Albo gets a selfie.

We get a romantic candlelight blackout.

[Marc @MarcCasis]

Welcome to Albo’s Australia.

Carry an Australian flag and police treat you like a security threat.

Carry a knife near an anti-migration protest and apparently you get recycling instructions.

The Art of the Deal, Albo edition:

Modi gets a stadium.

Patriots get policed.

The bloke with the blade gets told which bin to use.

[Marc @MarcCasis]

Mate, we were talking about houses, hospitals and infrastructure.

One bloke replied with crime rates.

You replied with Indians entering politics and companies.

At this rate the next defence will be the cricket score.

Nobody is scared of Indians having jobs. Australians are sick of mass migration being used as a shortcut while the country bursts at the seams.

A LinkedIn profile is still not a house.

[Marc @MarcCasis]

@nuclearforaus The Art of the Deal, Albo edition:

Modi uses Australian uranium to build India’s nuclear future.

Albo bans Australians from using the same fuel, then lectures us about energy security.

India gets reliable power.

Labor gets its ideology.

Australia gets the bill.

[Marc @MarcCasis]

Calling it treason gives Albo too much credit. He would need a strategy first.

The Art of the Deal, Albo edition:

Modi gets the crowd, the leverage and the diaspora.

Labor gets a voting bloc.

Australia gets housing pressure and the bill.

Modi represents India. Albo looks like he booked the venue.

[Marc @MarcCasis]

@mark16pg Yesterday it was Kylie. Today it is Modi.

Albo will flirt with anyone if there is a camera and a crowd that will not boo him.

The Art of the Deal, Albo edition:

Modi gets uranium, migration pathways and a stadium.

Albo gets another photo op.

Australia gets shagged.

[Marc @MarcCasis]

This is the whole scam.

Modi walks in saying “India First.”

Albo answers, “Us too, boss.”

India gets uranium, investment, migration pathways and a leader fighting for Indians.

Australia gets housing pressure, higher bills and a PM clapping from the side.

India negotiates. Labor performs. Australia pays.
