It's funny how so many people suddenly concerned about civilian casualties and de-escalation were silent when the ayatollahs were slaughtering Iranians by the thousand just a few weeks ago.

I swear at least 75% of left-wing politics is just rich white nepo babies rebelling against their parents

Imagine if the headline was:

"Prime Minister Scott Morrison resists calls for Royal Comission, after Far Right terrorist attack at Bondi."

Its worth reflecting on what the response would be.

Royal Commissions supported by Anthony Albanese:

✅ UN oil-for-food

✅ Institutional Child Sexual Abuse

✅ Banking and financial services

✅ Aged Care quality

✅ Disability abuse and neglect

✅ Robodebt

✅ Veteran suicide

❌ Australia’s most deadly terrorist attack.

We can deport a neo Nazi within hours of attending an authorised protest

But not hate preachers despite significant video evidence

We need to go back to calling a spade a spade.

Australia has had less GDP per capita growth than Europe over the past 6 years.

We’ve simultaneously run the largest per capita mass migration program in our national history.

So they import people to stop the economy falling into a headline recession.

But per capita we all go backwards.

[Parnell Palme McGuinness @parnellpalme]

I'm getting increasingly annoyed by the prime minister's assertion that the opposition is politicising the Bondi terror attacks, when HE is the one who first tried to deflect from Islamist radicals to guns as the core problem, because that's more politically convenient for him.

568,000 migrants moved to Australia this year.

Labor said they’d stop mass immigration. They lied.

We need a leader who will put Australia First.

Taking away the price cap would give temporary excess returns to the likes of gas peaking plants; even coal plants; and batteries / pumped hydro.

The Federal Government shouldn’t need it’s renewables only focussed very costly Capacity Investment Scheme.

But the price cap is obviously just one of the countless government interventions distorting the market.

@FootnotesGuy @AEMO_Energy Price caps in the wholesale electricity spot markets appear to be one of the key reason why the market doesn’t produce enough “on demand” electricity to cover scenarios where reserves are exhausted.

[Senator Matt Canavan @mattjcan]

Last year Anthony Albanese was asked on Brisbane radio "What are we actually going to do with migration numbers?" The PM answered that "We'll halve numbers down to 260,000 in the coming financial year."

Yesterday, the net migration data come out for that financial year (2024-25). The PM broke his promise and 306,000 migrants arrived in Australia last financial year.

Over the Labor's first 3 years in office 1.3 million migrants have arrived in Australia in net terms. That is one migrant every 75 seconds. This is by far the largest migrant intake over a three year period in our history - the previous peak was 815,000 over three years during the Rudd Government.

While migration numbers are falling they remain more than double the pre-COVID average this century of 202,200 a year.

Labor's mass migration policies are creating homelessness, increasing hospital waiting times and destroying our social harmony. We have to cut migration numbers now.

[Caroline Di Russo @CaroDiRusso]

This is all window dressing.

If Burke could cancel a visa and deport a bloke for a single Nazi salute, he could deport all manner of other extremist ferals.

He just chose not to. And we deserve to know why.

Australian net overseas migration clocks 305,000 for FY25, the 3rd highest on record and almost entirely from developing nations, new ABS figures show.
GDP per capita might have shrunk in 10 of the last 13 quarters but at least diversity is our strength.

As per usual, Johannes sums it up perfectly.

4.9m non citizens in the country.
2.9m on temporary visas.
Now we have median households unable to rent because Albo wants to gerrymander the electorate importing future voters.

[Tarric Brooker aka Avid Commentator 🇦🇺 @AvidCommentator]

For the year to October, net long term and permanent arrivals into Australia were at their highest level ever.

The current figure is up by 31.6k (7.6%) vs last year and up 165.0k (58.3%) vs 2019
