        #Greens used to have a policy on #sustainable #population but dropped it in 1998 in the wake of One Nation's initial success, feeling that to take that sensible, stable option would be seen as #racist by its #SJW & Trot base.

        When a battler is bidding on a house auction with the intention of getting off the rent treadmill, they are bidding against investors Investors at the top level are often the very politicians blaming immigration for high prices.

        Hey brother Johnny! What is a “battler”? Is it the same as a soldier? I’m just trying to make sense of things! God bless you and your family! Love ya bro!

        "Battler" is an Australian term for a working-class person who has trouble making ends meet, but keeps bravely trying. Life for them is a constant battle. #Battler

        Your headline should read @TonyAbbottMHR wants to take a sledge hammer & wrecking ball to our house prices. Thats if your rag is not biased.

        The Australian headline are not consistent. I agree with Abbott 100% on this issue but truth be be told Abbott actually was one of the orchestrators of a massive intake of wealthy immigrants with his smoke & mirrors 'stop the boats' policy. Labor are just as bad on this.

        My tweet was not about your concern about immigration. It was about the lies Abbott told about neg gearing. He & his RW nutters were lying about neg gearing smashing house prices. Treasury rebuked them. Now he is using immigration to try to reduce & smash house prices.

        Which is a great thing for the average and/ or young Aussie. The banks and the misserable old people who's only joy in life is bragging about their 2nd and 3rd house can go get stuffed.
