@DrewPavlou Is it true you support muslim migration to the west, Drew?

@bcg1976 @AlanKohler @abcnews And we can’t turn back time now, so if the heritage areas are going to be preserved necessarily we can’t allow builders to construct whatever they want. As for safety—are you saying that there weren’t safety regulations pre 1970?

[Thomas Patacca @ThomasPatacca]

@bcg1976 @AlanKohler @abcnews Many houses built between 1945 and 1970 are monstrous, yes. But you’d be right in saying that buildings constructed pre WW2, before the widespread use of low quality synthetic materials, are better quality than those built today.

[Thomas Patacca @ThomasPatacca]

@bcg1976 @AlanKohler @abcnews Of course it restricts supply— so that the supply we do have is safe and not monstrous looking. And if we ended mass migration we could have half the dwelling completion rate we have today and it would be more than adequate to meet demand.

[Thomas Patacca @ThomasPatacca]

@Born_In_54 @patrol5513 @AlanKohler @abcnews Also, if what you say is true, why did house prices rocket when migration resumed after COVID? By your logic, all those extra constructions workers should’ve led to a supply boom which pushed down prices. In fact, the exact opposite happened.

[Thomas Patacca @ThomasPatacca]

@Born_In_54 @patrol5513 @AlanKohler @abcnews The vast majority of migrants do not work in the construction industry. They therefore contribute far more to demand for housing than they do to supply. And almost all construction workers are native born—so no, the industry would not grind to a halt.

@bcg1976 @AlanKohler @abcnews But guess what? We don’t need to accept even uglier cities and shoddily built homes. Because we could cut immigration tomorrow and the housing crisis would cease to exist overnight.

@RobynAMilne @Dunder_viking “Population must grow or we stagnate.” What an absurd thing to say. Of course per capita wealth can also increase. And it was increasing at a much higher rate in Australia when we had lower immigration.

@DanielAbdalla8 @VeryInsig @jhk_______ Yep, thats what the conservatives have been doing in the uk for 15 years straight

[Thomas Patacca @ThomasPatacca]

@VeryInsig @jhk_______ Does the trumpet of patriots actually support low immigration? I havent heard clive palmer day shit on this subject

[Thomas Patacca @ThomasPatacca]

@ThePenisFrens @TheNotoriousMMA Has multiculturalism in northern island (co-existence of irish catholics and protestants) been good for social cohesion?

[Thomas Patacca @ThomasPatacca]

@MickamiousG 25% cut in migration will still result in Australia becoming a country that is culutrally foreign to me within my lifetime.

[Thomas Patacca @ThomasPatacca]

@sushilgiri @SydneyTrads Why do you think that demographic replacement is a requirement for “people to people” communication? We have close ties with Americans despite net zero immigration from the USA. You seem to be unaware of the concept of temporary travel.

[Thomas Patacca @ThomasPatacca]

@sushilgiri @SydneyTrads Who said anything about “close ties” being bad? We’re being demographically replaced by the populations of india and china. We are giving their people the right to vote in our elections at a rate of 100,000 a year. That is the problem.

@mattjcan The people featured in this video won the second world war only to witness their own politicians start voluntarily transferring political control to foreigners. In 50 years time australia won’t even be a culturally western country any more.

[Thomas Patacca @ThomasPatacca]

@MickamiousG Yes, it is multiculturalism. It’s literally in the name.

Australians have been so brainwashed into thinking that multiculturalism is good that when they see the harm it’s doing their first reflex is to deny it’s related to multiculturalism.

@nogulagsagain We shouldn’t say it’s irreversible. With sufficient will it is.

[Thomas Patacca @ThomasPatacca]

@darrengrimes Even on purely aesthetic grounds this is an abomination
