Translation: "i can't answer this without exposing an agenda"
Alright, you want the long answer? Australia is in the middle of the worst housing crisis in our history, and what does the government do? Import record numbers of people to make the problem worse! That's the opposite of what we should do. When the people point this out by protesting, what does the MSM and government say? "You're all a bunch of racists! How dare you ask us, your masters, to lower immigration levels!" The Government's main priority right now should be fixing the housing crisis, not making it worse. You say I have an agenda? Yeah, my agenda is "Being able to live a decent life in the country I was born in", and right now, the government's policies are making that harder and harder by increasing demand on infrastructure and services (schools, hospitals and roads) that are struggling to keep up.
Now tell me, what part of this is supposed to help Australia and it's people and not just help the wealthy elites?
That's what the protests are about.
Bullshit
None of those were mentioned once at the protests. Instead you had a literal neonazi speaker (sewell), signs screaming about silent invasions, "Go Home", sovcit bullshit and general twattery.
There's a lot to be angry about. But prancing around shouting random crap with a right wing fist up your arse like a demented puppet is not the fucking answer.
You mean the plants from the government? Funny how the MSM didn't show footage of all the people at the protest booing the glowies. Funny how the MSM didn't show the violence committed by the Pro-mass-immigration protesters. You can swallow the MSM narrative with your full throat if you want, but it's not gonna solve the problem or change the facts-on-the-ground. House prices will continue to rise, locking future generations out of the market and dooming them to being "forever renters" a.k.a. serfs. Our infrastructure and services will be stretched thinner and thinner until they break. But hey, at least the wealthy elites bank accounts got larger! Never mind that working Aussies are being made homeless!
Go ahead and call me whatever you like, people like you have been calling anyone with a different opinion *ists and *phobes for so long, it no longer holds any meaning.
Lmao "plants"
Let's see you laugh when your the one that becomes homeless.
If i do, it won't be due to immigrants
