Semi-official admission by anti-democratic elite —
we never voted for high immigration:
Back in 1994, launching a book of essays, former prime minister Bob Hawke made the remarkably frank admission that immigration policy had effectively been a conspiracy by the political establishment against the Australian public.
Hawke agreed with one author’s observation that most voters wanted immigration reduced and that the parties had deliberately kept it out of public debate, saying there had indeed been “an implicit pact between the major parties to implement broad policies on immigration that they know are not generallyendorsed by the electorate” and that “they have done this by keeping the subject off the political agenda”
This piece was written by Peta Credlin (Tony Abbott
and Bronwyn Bishop's love child).
I searched extensively, but couldn't find any reference
to Bob Hawke saying: "[There has been] an implicit
pact between the major parties to implement broad
policies on immigration that they know are not generally
endorsed by the electorate... they have done this by
keeping the subject off the political agenda".
Hawke was a vocal supporter of immigration as part
of the then focus on Australian "multiculturalism", and
was actually a strong opponent of the anti-immigration
stance of the old 1950's white guard.
