Labor has stormed to victory in the federal election and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will lead a majority government following a disastrous night for the Coalition and Peter Dutton.
At 8.24pm, less than half an hour after the final polls closed in Western Australia, 9News projected Labor had won the election.
Why would you prefer LNP when they were the ones who introduced more immigration?
Neither the ALP or LNP are prepared to do what needs to be done in terms of immigration. I didn’t vote for the ALP or LNP.
If your preferred party didn’t get any seats, you voted for the ALP or LNP.
I know how voting works. What point were you trying to make?
Because you said you didn’t vote for either, but all votes typically end up going to one or the other.
But what do you want done about immigration? Is it only immigration?
I said that because I didn’t. Where the preferences end up flowing is irrelevant. You’re essentially saying that everyone votes for the ALP or LNP which is a ridiculous way of thinking.
What do I want done about immigration? Pause it. Completely. We don’t have enough houses for the people we already have.
No it’s not only immigration.
So what about the current immigration? The ones already here
What does that mean for the medical field, transportation, and cleaning? Immigrants are currently holding together all of these industries.
Is it just immigration from Asia or are we cool with immigration from America and Europe?
Current immigrants? Nothing unless they’re here illegally. Don’t extend any visas. Deport people who are caught overstaying their visa.
What does it mean for those industries? They can hire people that are still here. Those fields aren’t held together by immigrants lol. You’re just eating up the lies about “we need more skilled immigrants!”
No, we’re not cool with immigration from America or Europe. What’s hard to understand about this? Pause all immigration until we can get our shit together with the people we already have. You were trying to do a “Gotcha! You’re racist!” thinking that I only wanted to stop “brown people” from coming here, weren’t you? Sorry to disappoint.
It’s clear that our economy and infrastructure and everything else just can’t handle the amount of people we have. Realistically we need a few million population decrease - at least 5 million - in order to dig ourselves out of this situation. Instead Labor (and the LNP to a slightly lower extent) want to keep importing people so they get more tax and can make it look like the economy is flourishing.
No visa extensions? That’s going to cause economic chaos, dude! Immigrants are a money-maker, removing them is just going to hit our ecnonomy. :(
Yes, they are. If we can’t even conclude that fact then there’s nothing that can convince ya.
It’s not racist to want fewer immigrants from certain countries. Some countries and cultures aren’t entirely compatible.
Labor’s brought in fewer immigrants than the LNP has. And removing five million? That’s insane. How’s that improve the economy?
You’re also implying that I’m pro-immigration, I’m not. We have too many, but that’s because we used immigration to hold up Australia after Covid. Now we’re in a tough spot where we need to remove them, but can’t risk it economically.
