Labor is being left behind on immigration
The whole world is moving on.
The consensus that immigration is an undisputed good is being challenged globally.
Now, even former Democrats are saying that mass immigration was a mistake.
At the recent Munich Security Conference, Hillary Clinton said there is “a legitimate reason” to debate migration, arguing that it “went too far” and became “disruptive and destabilising”.
Even former Democratic President Barack Obama himself said that it’s not a cop out that voters want an “orderly immigration system”.
In Canada, it’s the left-leaning Liberal Party that has slowed immigration to a trickle.
In fact, it’s now enjoying net-negative immigration, with the population contracting by 76,068 between July and October last year, thanks mainly to cuts to immigration.
And wouldn’t you believe it, house prices suddenly became more affordable, dropping 5 per cent in just one quarter.
Rents fell for 16 months consecutively, making now ‘the best time to rent’.
Wages saw a sharp rise too.
Yet here in Australia, Labor has decided it’s no longer the progressive, forward-focussed party for the future.
Instead, they’re stuck in the olden times, when everyone thought mass immigration was good.
Anthony Albanese has again committed to not changing our immigration system.
That’s despite Australia seeing a net intake of 306,000 last financial year, during a housing crisis.
When it comes to immigration, Anthony Albanese is being left behind.
It’s quite embarrassing really.
His government should follow the rest of the world and cut, cut, cut.
