        2. But who pays for the stuff, when immigrants don't have the $? Immigrants are fed,clothed & housed by welfare $$ from #auspol taxpayers, who worked all their lives. Those tax $ instantly end up in the pockets of capitalists who own the factories,provide the housing. #auspolpic.twitter.com/NgFBqNikMu

        3. It's a project of wealth transfer from workers & taxpayers to capitalists. There's no other way for capitalist elite to get this irresistible steal of decreasing wages & increasing demand. To quote @bean3ie, it's "outsourcing the profits & nationalizing the risks & costs."pic.twitter.com/xPwzu5iWBz

        4 Imported racist identity groups that "the ethnic lobby" bring in on the scam are not going to be looking after Australia's elderly. Australia's elderly will be paying for THEM. Imported jihadis are going to get old, too. They will VOTE to import more anti-Australians #auspolpic.twitter.com/l3bwqHk1r5

        5 Ask yourself: Q) If races are the same why do these "ethnic lobbies" think they have to specifically bring their OWN race to populate Australia & boost their numbers? A)They are anti-Australian interest groups acting on racial lines, increasing their tribe's power. #Auspolpic.twitter.com/8y6l3mey8s

For the future, & our children, we must utterly wreck @LiberalAus & @AustralianLabor in the polls. Vote on immigration as priority 1. #Auspolpic.twitter.com/G2I9J7aPYv

        Exactly, In 2010 when we were told that we'd have 36m by 2050, we said a resounding no, but the ever increasing immigration levels were kept from us and now we hear that we're heading for 40m by 2050, it's time for a referendum before it's too late.

        It's official. Vocal minorities & vested interests have overrun our 'democracy'. Here's what our citizens want: http://www.essentialvision.com.au/immigration-level-2 … We should lower immigration from a record 200,000pa back to the long term avg of 70,000. #jobs #housing #planning #environment @VoteSustainable

        A big Australia is anethema to a quality Australia. Quality of life reduces for all but the wealthiest as our major cities and key infrastructure are squeezed to breaking point. Multiculturalism is a also a failure.

        Great, but where's the new infrastructure? Where's the high speed rail between Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne & Adelaide that can effectively connect the east coast capitals with rural population centres? Where's the FTTP NBN? Where r the extensive Sydney tram & metro rail networks?

        When the #ACTU and big business join forces in #Australia, you KNOW it isn't to benefit #Australians but to benefit #Unions and big business! #immigration MUST be reduced https://www.macrobusiness.com.au/2018/05/actu-joins-big-business-endorsing-big-australian-ghetto/ … it ISN'T #racism, it is LOGIC.

        The people of Australia have said no to this crazy way of growing the economy. Continue with this and there will be no Labor or Liberal party left. Listen to the majority, not the minority’s loony agenda.

        That would be a betrayal of all Aust citizens. Cannot have an increase in Aust population. There needs to be a reduction not an increase.

        Any infrastructure we build in the future is financed by the taxpayers of Australia, it’s about time you listened to them! Now, not after you have trashed the place!

        Australia’s immigration program isn’t really aimed at addressing skills shortages.Statistics show Australia doesn’t need some of these skill migrants.For example,accountants, still on the skill shortage list despite Dept of Employment recommending that accountants be removed.
