Maybe try walk the introspection trail for a change, but don’t slip syp ;)

- you might discover what’s really goin on
…for you ;);)

“Malcontent does not come from external forces. It comes from internal forces. The solutions are found there and cannot be approached whilst shouting in single space. The world isn't gonna bend to your liking....ever. And it isn't "wrong" because of that.”

- best of luck

I don't disagree

but I must say, that's a bit of a 'conservative' perspective...

does that hold for our indigenous australians?

I'm seeing holes in jellylogic...

the absolute ridiculousness of the dog chasing it's tail at this point is just laughable

https://x.com/MickamiousG/status/1962618139453096245

it's beyond insanity

It's wild isn't it.

Net immigration of 379,800 in the year to September 2024 and a net figure of 548,000 in the year before that with a growth rate that's close to the highest in the developed world.

The ANU 2024 national environment scorecard states that ‘New developments to accommodate Australia’s rapidly growing population pose a particular threat to local ecosystems and species, especially along the east coast.’

The question I often wonder is, what is all this growth for?

Population growth as we know it exists to prop up GDP - as I've said before we'd have been in a recession multiple times over the past few decades without high levels of population growth.
But at the same time, if wealth inequality, environmental degradation, climate change, spiralling energy costs and insecure employment is what we get for holding up GDP as a measure of wealth and progress, then what's the point?
Why are we supporting this neoliberal wet dream of a ponzi scheme driven by the fantasy of infinite growth?
By some measures, taking into account income inequality, CO2 emissions, water pollution and loss of biodiversity as negatives and the quality of education, the value of consumer goods lasting longer, and so on as positives, genuine progress peaked 40 years ago and it's all been smoke and mirrors ever since.

But here we are, backed into a corner by a bunch of rancid racist scumbags who have rendered us terrified to talk about such a fundamental issue.
And again, those that stand to exploit and gain from this whole economic structure are laughing there heads off.
If I was paranoid I might even suggest that these sub-human neo-nazi pricks are a false flag, a plant by pro-business neoliberal lobby groups to shut down any discussion even as a large majority are genuinely concerned about a "big Australia".

Small minded losers.
It’s amazing, when men lose a sense of worth or validation, what they choose.
Individual? or pathetic rank carrot cake that can’t think for himself and spews hatred.

Pocock should be running the show.
He is what he said after last weekend.

“We need to be able to have a discussion about the key questions.
How big do we want Australia to be? How do we balance the skills we need with housing, health, environmental impacts and other key infrastructure?” he said.
“When governments fail to listen and plan, a vacuum opens up. This allows extremists - including white supremacists and neo-Nazis - to prey on people’s genuinely held concerns.”

Good man.

Yep one of the good ones in politics for right reasons.
Wish he and Andrew Wilkie were running the country.

And I dare Bob Katter to threaten to punch him in the mouth. Ha

Serious question - what is the Australian heritage/culture that the non nazis at these rallies are wanting to protect?
is it the right to be racists or is there more

^ spot on

…kind of worrying to see even some army veterans (non nazis) being ok with the presence of the neo nazi speakers etc because they’re ’fighting for the same thing’ ?

Which is what ??
Is it the freedumb to publicly express complicity with ideology that aligns with the heinous remnants of our white australia policy or just feelings of helplessness and disenchantment at current government policy ?

The whole idea of wrapping yaself up in aussie flags and yelling ‘deport’ is just cringe, especially since the bulk of those flags were made in china or bangladesh (or omg indiaaaaaa haha).

Frustrated people are one thing - a whole mob of knobheads who are all descendants of immigrants protesting against immigration kinda shows that whatever ‘culture’ we are apparently protecting needs to be questioned…

Of course, Pocock is correct, but the issue of Population didn’t just happen on 31 August 2025.

It has been addressed in the Intergenerational Reports since 2002 and the Population Statements since 2020.

https://treasury.gov.au/intergenerational-report

https://population.gov.au/publications/statements

But it appears few bothered to take any notice and from 2013 to 2019, LNP governments did not even have a dedicated Minister for Housing.

Infrastructure planning needs a lead time of at least a decade. The trend for increasing immigration started around 2000, but no one paid any real attention to the infrastructure needed to cope with an increasing population. And now when the States are busy playing catch-up they are condemned for spending too much money.

It’s all too easy to point the finger at the current government, but the issue goes back over 20 years.

And as he points out the lack of a cohesive and progressive plan supported by both sides has just opened the door to all the agitating shit stirrers.

It's time people like Joyce, Canavan, Antic, Hanson, Roberts etc were all put in their place. They serve no useful purpose and are only an obstruction on the path to a healthy and prosperous future for all of us.

@Satman, I saw a plackard saying that they were marching to defend Australia's culture of tolerance, dignity and stoicism and our tradition of deep engagement with complex issues and our calm and moderate temperament, even while experiencing deep personal frustrations.

It was a rather large plackard, but I was 100% behind those holding it.

sheesh...

when I wanted the nazi's to punch on with the keyeffers and brucey bogans the frown's frowning and I'm an extremist robot...

now the frown's calling for violence

are you an extreme bot too now?

good on the islanders, the authorities are clearly compromised, complicit or bought...

I'd still prefer keyeffers and brucey bogans to do it though

the keyeffers might actually realise what 'allies' means...

or not
